comissions, explained.
HOW COMMISSIONS WORK:
Hi there! Thanks for your interest in my work, it allows me to keep doing it!
As of now, commissions are open - here’s how they work.
I charge by the square inch, plus 30% for custom pieces, and a calculated margin for supply.
That 30% covers the extra labor that is involved in bringing folks into my creative space - as much as I love working with people who are excited and kind and passionate, there is a lot of labor put into preparation, restriction, requests, and communication.
THIS 30% FEE GETS YOU :
- The ability to look through my body of work and choose three pieces that you would hope to mirror into your piece!
- Color preference, I will reach out with color and composition notes.
- Custom cut panel sizing.
- Reference landscape photo (understanding that my style IS abstract and will take on a life of its own in the painting.)
- Communication throughout the painting process to make sure we are all on the same page.
A FEW RESTRICTIONS:
- I only paint on baltic birch and specialized paper.
- My signature elements will not be adjusted - I use hints of gold and/or red, and incorporate signature elements such as a red / gold sun, or two lines standing together in the painting.
- I reserve licensing rights and copyright to the piece. No unauthorized reproductions will be permitted.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW GOING IN:
Commissions will take about three months to complete, and reserve a drying / curing time of roughly two weeks.
30% of the total commission price is to be put down before work begins, thank you for this!
That's it in a nutshell! I look forward to hearing from you. Fill out the form below with a general budget and a little about you and what you're looking for, I will be in touch shortly!
Signed Sincerely,
Raina A. Verhey
