Commission Painting Process

I can paint, frame and deliver to your door. Allow me to capture a favorite scene as a unique oil painting, which will be a lasting memory and makes a wonderful gift from the heart for someone special.

From photo to painting..............

           Generally I can work from photos, one of which should basically capture the scene as desired. Then, support photos may be sent to show extra details and information of the scene, to help me more accurately create the desired image. Please indicate clearly which photo is the main photo, and which are support photos. Photos can easily be returned. It is important to understand that an oil painting is more than a photo. It is an artist’s interpretation of a scene, using “artistic licence” to define or highlight certain aspects, which will create a unique original work of art. If you wish I can take the necessary photos which can be used for your painting.

Sizes............

              Firstly think about your wall space and consider whether a landscape “  “or portrait “ “ is more suitable for the scene and space. Some standard sizes are detailed below but any size painting can be produced.

Canvas Stretcher:- Medium 800mm x 620mm

                                    Large 940mm x 740mm

                                    Extra large 1010mm x 800mm

                                    Big wall size 4ft x 3ft or 5ft x 3ft

Painting on board:- Medium 50x 35cm, when framed approx. 73x58cm. 

                                    Large 70x 48cm, when framed approx. 94x73cm.  

                                    Extra large 96x 67cm, when framed approx. 123x 94cm.

  Procedure and timing...........

          I can commence a commissioned work once I have a set of photos, specific details of your needs, and a commencement fee of 25% of total cost. A commissioned painting usually takes about four weeks to complete. The process involves preliminary sketches, colour study, assessment of composition and painting approach. Then a careful drawing up of the painting scene is made. The actual painting process can take 1-2 weeks depending on technique and the need for drying time. Once dry, I will contact you to update you with progress and provide you with an image for your approval. Framing generally takes one week.

Framing...........

            A frame needs to compliment the painting first, but also with consideration for decor tones. Generally, artworks painted on board are framed under glass to both protect the painting, and very importantly, to add depth and reflective qualities to the water in marine scenes. When painting on canvas stretcher I will not always use a frame. Unframed canvases stretchers look very modern when painted around the edges and stand out from the hanging wall. When framed I generally use a standard oil painting frame. The completed framed painting is photographed, and a copy promptly sent to you, for your appraisal.

And finally..........

           Please forward the balance of monies owing after approval of the image and prepare your wall space..........

           The painting will be packaged carefully and delivered to your door........

           I anticipates another delighted client !

 

                     ...............Enjoy your John N Pearson original...........
