Commission a Painting
Have you been searching for a landscape oil painting and haven't yet found 'The One'?
Then perhaps commissioning a painting would be something for you!
It's easy, and if this your first time commissioning an artist I will guide you through the process step by step.
Many of my commissions are to celebrate Big Birthdays or to mark or remember a special occasion such as engagements, christenings or honoring someone after they have passed. It's also a great opportunity to have your favourite place captured in your preferred colours. Maybe with a secret detail or two that has meaning for you.
A statement original artwork can take months to create, so please contact me well in advance! However if you have left things a bit last minute I will always try to help you where I can.
I love to hear your ideas and visions for your painting. However, it’s best not to have a rigid idea of the outcome. This way I can let the oil paints do their thing with a good amount of freedom – this is where the magic happens!
If you would like a particular size do let me know so I can work out a price for you. All my commissioned paintings are created on museum grade bespoke linen canvas and carriage to one UK address is included.

I charge by size and examples of my most popular sizes are shown below.

Things to consider
Scene/Location
Is there a particular scene or view point that you would like painted? I specialise in painting the North Devon beaches, but I am open to painting any open natural landscape.
Colour palette
What three colours would you like to be incorporated? I work with a limited palette to unify my paintings, and usually limit my pieces to just three main colours. It’s incredible how many colours and tones can be created from just three hues.
Mixed media
Although I work predominantly with oil paints, I often incorporate mixed media into my work. This can include texture, collage and gold, copper or silver leaf. Do you like to find hidden elements in a painting? Do love the way that gold leaf glimmers and glows in the evening light? Or are you a purest who loves the elegant simplicity of oil paints alone?
Mood
Would you like your painting to be cool and calming? Or perhaps energetic and invigorating? The colour palette can influence the mood of a painting, as can the use of brush strokes and mixed media. In landscapes, the weather conditions have a huge influence on the mood of the piece.
Size
If you have a wall ready for hanging your painting, please take measurements so you have an idea of the canvas size. If you’d like to frame your painting bear in mind the additional space this will take up.
Photos of where the painting will be hung are helpful, but not a compulsory requirement.
Finish
Your painting will arrive ready to hang, complete with hanging cord and white painted edges. I deliver commissioned pieces unframed.
