Commissions
The commission process
Commissioning a painting from Claire is an exciting, creative journey that offers a unique opportunity for you to collaborate with the artist and bring your vision to life. Whether you have a clear concept in mind or prefer to leave the creative decisions to Claire, the process can be tailored to your level of involvement. From initial discussions about your preferences and ideas to reviewing colour palettes, Claire ensures that your input is valued every step of the way. This collaboration allows you to play an active role in shaping a piece of art that truly resonates with you.
Beyond the end result, the commission experience itself is designed to be as enjoyable as the artwork you will receive. Claire’s commitment is not only to create a painting that you will love but also to make the journey towards its creation memorable and fulfilling. By the end of the process, you’ll own a completely bespoke work of art with a deep connection to its creation.
Commissions can be based on a photograph provided by the client or can be inspired by a specific colour palette to match the scheme in an interior.
-
Using Claire’s portfolio of past, recent and current works, choose the pieces that resonate – for whatever reason – with you. Decide on the size of the work that you would like and contact Claire.
-
This (somewhat unusually) will cover two – sometimes more – works from which you will choose your final piece. Clients enjoy having this final decision – sometimes slight nuances mean that one or the other is preferred.
-
Colour palettes are discussed, often depending on the ultimate situation/room in which the work will be hung.
-
Claire will produce and varnish your piece(s) in an agreed time – usually a couple of weeks – and the final work(s) will be taken to be framed (in the frame colour of your choice) and couriered to you as soon as possible. The whole process takes around a month – usually less.
