A commissioned painting is a painting made specifically for you. It’s something extra special, that you will have forever. It’s made with high-quality artists’ oil paints and typically on 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 only use linen canvases which may have to be ordered in.
The prices per canvas size are normally (as a guide only, as I do not have all sizes in stock)
41x33cm -£245 (16″x 13″ approx)
55x46cm – £375 (21″x 18″ approx)
65x54cm – £425 (25″ x 21″)
50x70cm – £495 (30″x20″)
60×80 cm – £595 (31″x23.5″ approx)
100x50cm £625 (23.5″ x 30″ approx)
100x70cm – £795 (23.5″x 20″ approx)

I am happy to paint larger canvases* – please contact to discuss 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.
