COMMISSIONS
Tasman Studio takes pride in skillfully distilling memories into a beautiful and unique artwork that will bring you joy for years to come. Paintings may be commissioned in a variety of sizes, in pastel, acrylic or oil, and I offer excellent pricing. I look forward to chatting with you about your one-ofa-kind painting.

THE PROCESS
Size and orientation. Where are you going to hang your painting? What size will work there? What kind of orientation (tall or wide)? What do you want in your painting, Your dog or cat, your home, special things, what elements? Which paintings that I have done do you like and why? Colors? With this information, I can get a idea of how I can best capture and create a meaningful painting for you.

If we are doing a dog or cat painting, I like to take photographs based on our conversation. We can use your photos too, if I am unable to meet with you and we need to work from afar, we can work with what you have ...amazing what we can do with email and fed ex. I may request some specific shots of your dog or cat. I then ruminate on the photos, sketch out my ideas, and send you a sketch of the proposed painting. After the sketch is finalized, I can give you an estimated time of completion of your painting!

PAYMENT
I request 30% deposit when we begin the conversation about your painting.This is a deposit, the remainder is due upon delivery. Shipping, framing, and travel are additional.

 

TIME LINE
I know you will be anxious for your painting and I can give you an approxiamate eta when we talk at length. I do my best work when I have the space and time to listen to my/our inspiration, so I work on commissions from November through May. Paintings are completed in the order they come in.
I always have a waiting list, so it is best to make a deposit to get into the queue and on my call list.

PRICING
Larger sizes and special sizes are available, calculate about $3-$4/per sqare inch depending on complexity.
I work in acrylic and pastel. Sizes reflect actual painting area, so a pastel will be slightly larger when it is framed. (for example a 12x18 pastel is generally 18x24 when framed). Framing is additional. I DO NOT sell reproductions of your painting, it is a one-of-a-kind piece created FOR YOU only : )
