How much does a commissioned painting cost?

07-08-2024

As an artist, I often get asked: "How much does a commissioned painting cost?" The price of a painting depends on several factors such as the size, the technique, and the time it takes to complete the artwork. I strive to make art accessible to everyone, which is why I offer different pricing options that fit different budgets. For detailed pricing information, please contact me.

How does the commissioned painting process work?
If you are interested in having a commissioned painting made, I start with an introductory meeting. During this meeting, we discuss your wishes and ideas. Whether you want a portrait of a beloved pet or a colorful painting that fits perfectly with your interior. After this meeting, I make one or more sketches, which we then discuss together and which I can adjust if necessary.

Customer: 'It completes my interior.'

How long does it take to finish a painting?
The time it takes me to finish a painting varies, depending on the complexity, size, and the number of orders I have. On average, it takes three to five months. It is important to keep this in mind, especially if you want to give the artwork as a gift for a specific occasion. I always recommend planning a commission well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Can I view the work and make changes in the meantime?
Absolutely! I strongly believe in a transparent and interactive creative process. During the painting process, you are always welcome to view the work. This gives you the opportunity to provide feedback. This collaboration ensures that the end result perfectly matches your wishes and expectations.

How much say do I have in the creative process?
Your say in the creative process is extremely important to me. From the first conversation to the last brushstroke. You can indicate colors, composition and even specific details that you want to see in the painting. This interactive approach ensures that the artwork is not only technically good, but also emotionally resonates with your personal taste and story.

Client: 'It turned out exactly as I had in mind after we had come up with a plan together.'

Do I get a certificate of authenticity?
Yes, every painting I make comes with a certificate of authenticity. This certificate confirms that the work is an original work of art by me and includes details such as the title, technique and date of completion. This adds value to the painting, also in the event of a sale.
