Commissions

GUIDELINES FOR COMMISSIONING A CUSTOM PAINTING

Clients typically inspire their custom artwork by sharing a preferred colour palette, subject, or a favourite piece from my existing paintings. You are also welcome to provide personal photos for me to work from. To determine the ideal canvas size, try using blue painter's tape on your wall to visualize different dimensions.

THE PROCESS

  • A 10% refundable deposit secures your spot on my waitlist. The current waiting period for your completed commission is one to two months.
  • The pricing for your painting is based on size (please see Pricing Guide below). Additional custom canvas dimensions are also available upon request.
  • Once your deposit is received, we can move forward with the design and composition process, which will involve a collaborative exchange of ideas, images and sketches between artist and client.
  • Once the commission is completed, I will send you photos of the completed work for your approval. If the painting does not completely resonate with you, there is no obligation for you to purchase the painting. The painting process is full of surprises, and this flexible system has been in place for many years, giving me the freedom to make spontaneous creative decisions.
  • To discuss your vision and reserve your place on my waitlist, please email me at catherine.mckinnon@gmail.com or call/text me at 1-902-456-1654.
