The Commission Process
Define Your Vibe
Collect three examples of art or photography that inspire you. Pick colors that speak to you and draw on the emotions you want your home or business to evoke. Choose an example of your preferred painting style as well, or choose a painting style you enjoy from my portfolio. I can also help you determine the best size and color scheme for your space, choose between canvas or paper, and identify your framing needs.

Rough Drafts
I will create between one and three rough drafts - small works in a sketchbook - to make sure I've captured your vibe perfectly. You can suggest changes or point out your favorite elements that you'd like in your final painting. This process also allows you to identify what inspires you, makes you happy, and invokes the perfect mood for your space.

Final Creation
I will start the month-long process of creating your final painting. We will have two check-ins (mid and end of month) where you can identify elements you'd like more of and elements you'd like less of. This can be related to anything at all - structure, colors, linework, or little details. After the work is complete, it will be shipped off to you, ready to hang in your space!
