Three Easy Steps to commission a painting
by Ray Holbrook

Step 1: 
Simply Click Here and describe in detail what you desire to commission. (Please include a Phone Number or E-mail Address) The Artist will contact you "in person" with preliminary prices. If you have any photos/pictures, please attach them.

Step 2: 
Upon your acceptance of the price. You will need to enter into an "Design of Artwork Agreement" and begin the compositional sketch process with the Artist, for a price of $100 to $1,000 for the production of compositional sketches (the price varies depending on the complexity of the sketches). This is a very beneficial arrangement for both You the Collector and the Artist. You're only purchasing the time of the Artist for the creation of compositional sketches. If you're not satisfied with the sketches, you've only paid for the compositions and NOT the full price of a Original Painting. If you accept the compositions, the price of these sketches will be applied to the price of the commission of the Original Painting.

Step 3: 
The price of Commissions vary from $500 and up. Once you've reviewed the sketches and approved them, the Artist will then provide you with a "Commission of Art Agreement". The Artist will ask for a down payment and/or payment plans, which will be detailed in this agreement. (customarily a 50% down-payment is asked, but on larger commissions the details will be negotiated.) After you've reviewed the Agreement and if the provisions of this agreement are acceptable, you and the Artist will sign the agreement and the Commission will begin. Simply Click Here and describe in detail what you desire to commission. The Artist will contact you "in person" with preliminary prices.
