When commissioning art, it’s important to understand that it may require the artist to invest more time and resources, which could result in a higher price for the custom work. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this also means you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind piece that’s made specifically for you, which is truly exciting. For all commissions, payment is due BEFORE the commission is started. Please note that it is common practice for the artist to request payment upfront. There are several reasons for this, one being that the artwork is specifically tailored to the client’s request. Unlike purchasing a pre-existing piece, the artist must devote their time and skill to bring the client’s vision to life. Therefore, requesting payment upfront helps to ensure that the artist is compensated for their time and effort, as well as any expenses related to the project, such as materials or studio space.
Additionally, an upfront payment provides the artist with a sense of security and assurance that they will be able to complete the project without any financial risk. Ultimately, paying upfront for a commission artwork is a way to establish trust between the artist and the client, and it helps to ensure that the final product meets the client’s expectations. Thank you for understanding how the process works and if you are looking for a one-of-a-kind piece or have any questions, please reach out to me below.
