THE COMMISSIONING PROCESS

We have an extensive collection of artists working in a diverse range of mediums and styles. Whatever the commission we will consult with you and your chosen artist throughout the process to ensure your intended result is achieved. Depending on the commission artists will work from life, existing or especially taken photographs.

FAQS

1) How long will it take?

A commission can usually be carried out within the time frame you set. The artist will arrange a schedule and we will keep you informed of how the commission is progressing.

2) How much will it cost?

Commissions cost more than an original piece of artwork by the same artist. This is due to the process and time it takes for them to create something bespoke for you. However what you gain from it as a unique and personal piece which is priceless. We also have a Pay By Finance option which allows you to split the cost, interest-free over a 10 month period. Any initial concerns around it being an expensive processor one where you will have little control will be quickly alleviated as commissioning is an affordable process and one we keep you fully engaged with as your artwork is produced.

3) What if I don’t like the final piece?

Fear not, this is highly unlikely to happen. We carry out a number of thorough consultations with you and the artist before the commission begins, so there is total communication and thorough understanding of what you want. If you enjoy the artist’s work, it is unlikely they will do anything but true justice to your piece.

4) What if I want to change something?

Throughout the process, we will keep you informed of the progress of the work as it develops and agrees at what stages you are able to make requests. The artist will want to get it right for you as their client, so changes are usually carried out with the agreement of both parties.

5) Can I meet the artist?

Yes, normally you can and the artist is usually more than happy to meet with you as the client. Occasionally, if the artist lives far away or is based abroad, it is not possible but we can usually arrange a telephone conversation.

We would love to discuss your commission idea with you and can advise you on the whole process from start to finish.
