Commissions
Your subject. Your story. One original painting.
Commissioning a painting is simpler than most people expect. Here is exactly how it works — and the kind of briefs past clients have brought to the studio.
- 1
Share your story
Send your photographs — of your pet, your family, or a place you love — along with any colour or style inspiration. Screenshots of other artworks are welcome as inspiration references.
- 2
Receive a personal quote
Every piece is priced individually based on size, complexity and detail. Nicola replies personally with a quote, a proposed composition and an honest timeframe. There is no obligation.
- 3
Approve the direction
Before painting begins, you approve the composition and palette. Nothing proceeds until you are confident in the direction.
- 4
Watch it come to life
Progress updates are shared at key stages, so you can see your painting develop and request small adjustments along the way.
- 5
Receive your original
Your finished painting is varnished, carefully packaged and delivered ready to hang — a one-of-a-kind original, made for you alone.
