Process
First, we have a consultation to discuss your vision for a painting.
A down payment of 50% is required at this point to begin work.
Based on our initial discussion, I will create 2-3 sketches (mockups) for you to choose from as a compositional guide for the painting.
Once I receive your selection, I will go ahead and begin painting. Progress shots may be featured on my Instagram and Facebook accounts unless the commission is a gift (and if so, please specify this up front so that I don’t spoil any surprises!).
Commissions may take one to three months to complete and fully cure (dry), depending on medium, size and complexity. For oils: once your painting is touch dry, I will apply a temporary varnish to protect it from dust and debris, and you will be notified as to when it will be ready for pick up/delivery/shipping.
Payment Schedule
After initial consultation(s) and our commission agreement form is completed and signed, 50% deposit is due, to begin creative work on your painting; The final 50% is due when your painting is complete and ready for pick up/delivery/shipping.
Framing and shipping costs (or any necessary travel expenses), as required, will be quoted separately.
Regarding Copyright
As a global, international legal standard, copyright and all related rights, including reproduction rights, for any creative work remain with the artist, Sarah Cassani.
