Commissioning a portrait / how it works
Initial Consultation - We will discuss your expectations for your commission, including the size, subject, medium, timeframe, and budget.
Photography Submission - We will provide you with instructions for uploading a high-quality digital image of the subject using our website. Don't have a photo that you like? We can schedule a photo session at CANVAS ArtSpace for an additional fee.
Agreement - Once a photo has been chosen by the client and approved by CANVAS, a 50% nonrefundable down payment and signed agreement is required to begin work on the commission.
Timeframe - From the time the agreement is signed to the time you will receive the completed artwork will vary from piece to piece, depending on size and complexity. On average, the process takes a minimum of 2 weeks, and up to 3 months. We will provide you with a specific timeframe for your commission during the initial consultation and before the agreement is signed.
Final Painting - Upon viewing the final artwork, you can request one “adjustments sitting" to refine the painting to your liking. You will be charged an additional 20% of the total cost for each additional sitting beyond that.
Right of Refusal - We want you to love your commissioned artwork. Therefore, you may terminate the commission at any time if you are unsatisfied. CANVAS will retain the final artwork and non-refundable deposit. There will be no additional expense to you.
Framing - We offer a framing consult free of charge. If you would like CANVAS to provide custom framing of your completed portrait, an additional framing fee will apply, in addition to the cost of the frame. You can, of course, purchase your artwork unframed.
Delivery - Once the painting is completed, and the remaining balance is paid, you can either pick-up your finished artwork at CANVAS ArtSpace, or you can pay to have the artwork shipped to you.
