A commission works as follows:

Firstly the subject matter, the size and the price of a commissioned painting are agreed. The client then pays 30% of the overall cost in order to secure the commission. The lead in time - from the time of starting the painting - is six weeks. The client only pays the outstanding amount once they are happy with the finished painting. Shipping is also paid at this point. The price for a commission starts at £2000 and is dependent on size.
