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
