Placing a commission with an artist can be a really daunting prospect - after all you are agreeing to purchase something you haven't even seen, so much so, that many clients shy away from the process. But if you have specific requirements for a piece and find an artist who's work that you would really love to have in your home , then commissioning a piece specifically for your space can be a very rewarding and worthwhile experience. A good artist who is used to producing commissions will take the 'fear factor' out of the process for you, by making sure they know exactly what you are expecting before work on the piece even commences, and setting a specific timeframe for completion. Many of my own commisions are placed for occasions like anniversaries and birthdays, so ensuring the client receives their piece on time is of paramount importance. An artist should never be asked to rush, after all the best things come to those who wait! However all artists will have a good idea of how long a piece will take to produce and should be able to set an approximate date for collection or delivery before work begins. Good communication is key to a successful commission process, and basics like size, price, materials and framing should all be agreed before any money exchanges hands. Most artists will take a deposit of 40-50% upon placing of the order, with the rest due upon exchange of the finished piece.

For a proffesional artist Producing something that the client will love will always be top of the list, and and they will always ensure you walk away happy and 100% delighted with your piece. If you have particular concerns about placing an order for commission , its always worth while contacting the artist, who should be able to put your mind at rest, and alleviate any concerns you have.
