How to Commission a Painting
It’s so easy to do. Any memory, special moment from your life, or photograph can become a breathtaking painting. Or if there is a painting you like from this website that perhaps is no longer available, or one that you’d like in a different size or colors, you can order one specially made for you.. Step one: Decide on the size of the painting you need. A. Where do you plan on hanging your new painting? Is the new painting intended for a certain wall or room? Will you be moving some art and putting your new commission in its place? B. What size works best for you? Do you need a portrait or landscape orientation? Portrait is vertical (taller), landscape is horizontal (wider). I have found that cutting a piece of paper or folding a bedsheet and pinning it to your wall will allow you to decide what the ideal size is for your space. I can do any size painting. C. What is your budget? I will do my best to work within your budget. Both the size and complexity of the piece will determine the cost. A conversation can be had to help create the perfect piece for you and stay within your budget. Step two: Let’s talk about your ideas A. Let’s have a conversation about this special memory or vision that you’ve always wanted to have painted. If we’re close enough to meet in person, I’m all for it. I can bring to life as a painting any concept you can imagine. You can also browse through this website to view an extensive collection of my work. Select a painting, or elements from several that catch your eye. Christopher can paint you a special painting combining all the elements you like into one unique original. B. After the details of the painting have been decided, a link will be sent to purchase via a secure online shopping cart. Of course, you can always pay by check, and those details can be worked out at that time. Step three: Approving your commission. A. After about 3-4 weeks to complete, I will email you a picture of the finished painting for your approval. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If there are any changes you would like made, this would be the time to do it! I am extremely easy to work with, and I’m happy to make any changes needed to ensure that the painting ordered is exactly what you envisioned. B. After your custom painting has been approved, I will carefully box and ship the painting directly to you. I ship all paintings via FedEx in custom made heavy-duty boxes to insure your painting arrives in perfect condition. In only a few days you will be able to hang your new Christopher Clark masterpiece on your wall for generations to enjoy. If I am close enough, I will certainly deliver and hang the painting myself. And that’s it. I’m ready to get started on your commission painting. All you need to decide is what you would like me to paint. Please fill out this simple form to get started: |
