Custom Painting Process
Step 1 - Communication & DepositEach commission starts with plenty of communication. We discuss your idea, your hopes and expectations for your one of a kind work of art. When we feel we're on the same page, 50%* of the decided price is required before beginning your painting.
|
Step 2 - Practice PaintingsNow the fun part really starts! We've established a theme, a color palette, a feeling you want conveyed in your art, which means your idea can now come to life! This is the drafting process and includes up to three "practice paintings" that are created digitally. This way, when I start on your full scale final piece, you'll know exactly what to expect!
|
Step 3 - Completed PaintingOnce I've started on your final painting, you'll receive progress shots throughout the process so you're always in the loop! When the piece is complete you will receive a high resolution photo, whereupon you'll pay the remaining 50% balance and expect your completed painting at your doorstep in 5-7 business days!

*50% down-payment is nonrefundable, as it pays for supplies, reserves your spot in Fitzgerald's commission calendar and acts as a deposit.

This is a birthday gift for my wife who reads your blog. Can you wait to post it until after I've given it to her?
Absolutely, I would hate to ruin a surprise! When filling out your contact form, just be sure to tell me what date that it will be safe to post and I will respect that.
Can I request that my custom painting be framed?
Of course! For an additional fee I can make sure your painting looks it's best in the perfect frame. This will delay you receiving your art for an extra 2-4 weeks, so only add this on if you're not in a rush!
