What is a commission painting vs a custom painting? How does the process work? What products are used?

 

Commission/Custom Landscape Paintings

*The terms commission painting & custom painting are interchangeable.

With a commission landscape painting, Jenna brings your idea to life & creates a painting that will mean the world to you for years to come. You ask her to create a landscape painting from a specific photo, collection of photos, or an idea that you want recreated.  Then, she works with you to come up with a finalized computer-generated concept and then creates a landscape painting that is 100% for you alone.

Your custom painting can be any size that you would like – from large to small.  Jenna will discuss canvases with you and will give you options that work for the size of painting you choose.  She can also price multiple sizes for you based on the ideas that you have in mind.

Each commission landscape painting is made on a professional quality, 1.5 inch deep canvas.  Jenna uses Liquitex Professional Soft Body paints and paint markers on all paintings, which have lightfastness ratings and will not fade over time.  When finished, your painting is sprayed with multiple coats of Liquitex Professional Gloss Spray clear coat to protect it for years to come.

Sunset Commission Painting

Photos do not do this statement piece justice.

My client asked if I could paint a sun like no sun I had ever seen before! Through mock-ups, we merged a couple of photos together to bring the trees, the golf course and the sun together into one bold image with a catching sky.

Sunset Commission Painting Part II

Doesn’t this painting make a gorgeous focal point and fit perfectly into my clients home?

The painting is 30” high x 40” wide. My client knew where she wanted to display it before I ever started painting. We were able to find a canvas size that would look like we created it to fit her home + make a painting that conveyed the beauty of the moment and re-created a memory that will last forever!

Generally, custom paintings are finished with black edges, and come ready to hang.  If you prefer, Jenna can help you choose framing options and point you in the right direction so you can get your custom painting professionally framed.

With a commission painting, no limited edition prints will be sold.  This commission landscape painting is for you, and not the public. Each customer has different needs, so there is definitely some wiggle room with a custom painting.  If you would like to have prints created for your family members, that can definitely be done – we just need to figure in some extra time to make it happen!
