Commission a painting
A commissioned painting can capture a place, memory, view or idea in a way that is entirely personal.
How a commission begins
Every project is discussed directly with John before any commitment is made.
- 01
Initial conversation
Describe the place, memory, view or subject you have in mind.
- 02
Reference material
Share suitable photographs and explain which details matter most to you.
- 03
Scope and terms
John can discuss size, presentation, timescale and cost before work begins.
- 04
Painting and review
The painting process and any appropriate review points are agreed directly.
A useful starting brief
You do not need a formal specification. A clear subject, a few useful reference images and an indication of the feeling you want the painting to convey are enough to begin a conversation.
Specific terms, timescale and cost are confirmed personally. No fixed commission pricing or availability is implied on this website.
