Commissioning Artwork


Owning a work of art is a pleasurable, enjoyable experience. It is possible that you may have previously purchased a painting or have not been quite successful in finding that right piece. If so, why not commission a work direct from an artist. Commissioning artwork from an artist is not as complex as it sounds. You can commission an artist to produce a work of art which can be highly rewarding for both parties. The work will be personal and unique, it will be specifically produced for you and your requirements, and additionally build new relationships. Each commission varies slightly in the steps taken from conception to completion, as each commissioner, artist, situation and circumstance is undoubtedly unique.


Developing your brief


What is the brief?...The brief is a document that essentially records all of your thoughts and ideas on paper and is an important part of the commission process as it establishes exactly what is to be achieved. It can also be used as a point of reference when discussing the commission with the artist. The artist is able to refer back to it, as well as using it as a means to set out a contractual agreement between you. Key points to take into account or use as a guideline when writing a brief yourself:

  • Who or what is the work for? Example: Is it for your home? Is it a gift?
  • Are there any constraints or special requirements? Think about dimensions of the work, the space where the work will go, the function of the work, any materials to be used?
  • What are you looking for? What kind of artwork do you like? Would you prefer a particular style?
  • What is your budget? Does this include installation and delivery?
