COMMISSION PROCESS
1. CONSIDERATION OF SUBJECT, SIZE AND SPACE
Whether you have a particular idea in mind, are seeking something similar to a past work of Preeti Arts or would like a recommendation based on the space where the artwork will be displayed, think about how you would like the artwork to look. All ideas and suggestions are welcome.
If the commission is to be created from a reference photograph, such as a portrait, a clear, sharp image is necessary to produce a drawing that captures the likeness, detail and character of the subject. Some helpful tips on capturing a suitable reference photograph can be found here.
2. SUBMIT YOUR ENQUIRY
When ready, please complete and submit the enquiry form below, describing your ideas for the artwork in as much detail as possible and attaching any images (if appropriate). Once this information is received, Preeti Arts will contact you at her earliest convenience to start discussing your commission.
3. PAYMENT
Following discussion and acceptance of the booking, a deposit of 30% of the commission price is required to start work. This is to secure the time in Preeti Arts diary and initial outlay of materials and is non-refundable. The balance is due by, or at the time of completion, and paid prior to shipment.
Once the commission order is confirmed, you will receive an email with an invoice for the deposit from which payment can be made directly
4. PRELIMINARY SKETCH
Preeti Arts will prepare a rough pencil sketch based on the details discussed and/or chosen reference photograph. This will provide an opportunity to make adjustments, refinements and to confirm composition, pose and placement of all the artwork elements.
5. TIMEFRAME
Like everything of quality and value, the creation of original art takes time. Completion times will vary depending on the size, detail and complexity. Please keep this in mind and advise if the commission is for a special occasion or required by specific date when completing the enquiry form. While all reasonable efforts will be made, unfortunately not all timeframes are possible, and this will be advised prior to confirming any booking. You will be kept updated progress photos, at which point adjustments can be made only within the scope of possibility.
6. COMPLETION AND DELIVERY
The completed artwork will be sent flat, between sheets of acid-free paper and reinforced board, accompanied by a care instruction guide.
FRAMING
Professional framing is an investment in itself to match the quality of the artwork, its presentation and protection. Preeti Arts can provide guidance on appropriate framing if desired. The cost of framing and installation are separate from the commission price.
