Cheryl Galbraith Art – Commission Pricing Guide

I am open to ideas of varied types of commissions, so feel free to drop me a message with your thoughts. My preferred subject, and speciality, is painting animals, it’s my love and a passion, which you will notice from visiting my artwork gallery.

The loaded question is “How much does it cost to commission a painting?” This is not always that straightforward to answer, as the cost can depend on various factors that affect the pricing of the commission, such as type of materials used, expected length of time to produce, the type medium chosen and the level of detail that may be required. I have created a price range as a guide, to provide an indication of what you would expect to pay for the pieces of work you commission.  However, depending on what is asked for, all prices will be individually negotiated and agreed prior to production.

From our initial introduction via email/phone, we will discuss your concept/ideas of your commission, your budget & agree on the medium, canvas board/paper and agree on what would suit your requirements best.  It is best to avoid being as vague as possible, the more information you can provide, the better the result will be.  So, in order to make my life easier, and your finished piece better, it’s important that the image/reference provided is clear to enable me to provide you with a good standard of detail. If the reference is not clear, I will request that another or a selection of photos to give me a good reference to work with.

Please note:  

·      Upon placing your order, you will be required to pay 50% of the agreed price upfront.  

·      All commissions are subject to availability, as I can only commit to working on commissions within my free time outside of my freelance events work.

·      As the artist, I retain the copyright for all artworks I produce, including commissions. This means that I may choose to create prints from your painting commission. If this is something you are not comfortable please let me know at the introduction stage. Buying out my copyright of original works is possible but will cost more.

. Additional postage and packaging costs will be added to the total commission fee.

Please see my prices below for a rough indication.
