Design Process and Information

Commissioning an artist for an original art work is a wonderful way to acquire a unique and personal art piece that has emotional appeal and to bring beauty to your home or business. Whether it is an oil portrait of a loved one, or a custom painted mural to enhance your home or business, the commission process is one of fulfillment upon seeing the beautiful finished results.
Marsha works with each client to assist in the creation of their vision. The client is involved in each step of the design process, from the first consultation and initial sketches to the final finished art piece.
The starting point is the initial conversation either by email or a phone call. She will discuss your goals for the project and what piece of commissioned art you would like. All steps involved will be outlined in detail before proceeding so that you have a clear understanding of the design process. Price estimates will be supplied after gathering information on what the project entails. Pricing is based on the subject matter, medium, the project and time involved. One of the most important factors for portraits is that good quality photos be supplied. High resolution images that are of good quality should be submitted. If you are located in the central valley of California (San Joaquin Valley) the artist can arrange to meet with you for a photo shoot and if possible one live sitting for initial sketch studies and complexion/skin color matching.
