The Process of Portrait Commissioning

Portrait commission can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be! The first step is to find an artist that you feel comfortable with and then take a look at their work to see if you like their style. Every artist has their own unique style. When meeting artists to discuss commission artwork, also see their previous work, so you know you will be happy with the results. Once you’ve found someone who meets all of your needs and wants, draw up a contract so that both parties know what to expect from each other and agree on a price.

Once everything has been agreed upon, the artist will block out the background and sketch in the subject before painting them in color. It can take anywhere from one month to six months for a portrait to be completed depending on how much detail needs to be done, and what medium you would like your commission completed in. You should also think of artwork commission and portrait commission as a gift for special occasions or upcoming milestones such as graduating college or getting married.
