A commissioned painting is a painting made specifically for you. It’s something extra special, that you will have forever. I am equally at home with acrylic or oils. I only use professional quality artists’ paints and linen canvas. It is a complete journey in making, that you will have and enjoy for a lifetime.
If you would like to commission a painting, just send me an email at emmafcownie@gmail.com
Turn around time is usually 3-4 weeks, often less.
The rates for a commission are listed below and are rated both per size of the canvas and the complexity of the image to be painted. I use linen canvases which may have to be ordered, this can take up to two-three weeks
The prices per canvas size are normally (as a guide only, as I do not have all sizes in stock)
50×40 cm (20×16″ approx) £350
60×45 cm (24×18″) £450
50x75cm (30″x20″) £550
Please enquire about availbilty of larger canvases
60×80 cm – £550 (31″x23.5″ approx)
100x70cm – £795 (23.5″x 20″ approx)
100×80 cm – £895 (23.5″x 39″ approx)
I am happy to paint larger canvases* – please contact to discuss details as I have to order larger canvases from the continent.
I also paint on wood panels – please contact me for further details.
The Brief – send me an outline of what you are looking for in your commission; i.e. size, subject matter, and include as many good quality reference photos as you can. I can edit or combine images on request. If its a pet portrait, what sort of background would you like?
Logistics – Timescale, is this work a present for a special event? A custom painting can be a unique gift for a loved one. I will need to know special dates well in advance so there is plenty of time for the work to thoroughly dry before it is packed and shipped.
Deposit – I will need a deposit usually £100, this is to cover the materials and any design work, such as sketches or other mockups.
Final review – You will be sent images of the final painting. I finish my work by painting a neutral colour around the edges so the painting is ready to hang. Your work will be shipped and a tracking number provided.
That’s it. Sit back and admire your painting for years to come.
