Commission Art: Ordering Process, Terms & Conditions
What is an Art Commission?
To commission art is an unique way to have art created specifically for you. Requests for art commissions are accepted all year round.
If you want to commission art for commercial use or an original piece for your home, office, shop, or workplace, you can easily start the process to commission art online.
If you need a specific color to match your décor, size, or finish, I will work with you to determine what will work best for your needs. The attention to detail remains the same whether the art commissions are for residential or commercial use.
Why Commission an Artist?
The most common reason to commission someone, or rather commission an artist, is to commemorate a special occasion, celebrate someone’s life, or to capture a moment in time.
If so, a Ren Creative Works bespoke/custom artwork may be just what you are looking for!
Art in the places where you live, work, and play can be extremely uplifting and energising. There is a way for you to purchase commissioned artworks at an affordable price, no matter where you live.
Get One of a Kind, Original Artworks
My painting technique produces one-of-a-kind, original artworks that are difficult to replicate.
You can, however, commission art, which is available by special request. For example, if you see something you like on my website, I will try to create a very similar custom artwork for you.
What Should You Consider Before Commissioning Art?
Prior to commissioning art, consider the work’s purpose, size and medium, budget, and timeline.
For example, when selecting colours for a painting, consider the overall appearance of the room.

How Long Do Art Commissions Take?
If I am working on a larger piece or one with a high level of detail, complexity and skill level needed, the turnaround time will increase. My process is dependent on the paint/varnish/resin drying and curing correctly, and I will not risk my reputation on rushing my artwork.
I cannot in good conscience, take full payment for art commissions, but I do request a fifty percent [50%] deposit to hold the next available commission spot.
You can be assured that I will always keep in touch with you and keep you up to date on everything that is being worked on, from the beginning to the end. I will make every effort to respond to all inquiries within twenty four [24] hours.
Furthermore, I believe that listening to the needs of each client is critical in order for me to tailor my services to the expectations of each client.
