How it works

The process of creating a custom oil painting with me is a unique experience, tailored to bring your vision to life.

1

Step 1. Share your vision

The first step is to decide the approximate size of your painting and share any inspiration pictures or descriptions. This information helps me provide an accurate price estimate.

Keep in mind that smaller paintings with fewer details generally take less time and are more affordable. For example, if you have a specific image you'd like painted with only minor adjustments, the process will be faster and more cost-effective.

On the other hand, larger, more complex paintings, such as portraits featuring multiple people or concepts requiring extensive sketching, will take more time and reflect a higher cost.

The more information you provide, the easier it is for me to create an accurate price estimate tailored to your vision.

If you live outside Los Angeles, please let me know your city so I can include shipping costs in the estimate.

Step 2. Sketches and Pricing

Once we've determined the size and subject matter of your custom painting, I'll provide a price estimate that includes materials and shipping costs.

Once you agree to the price, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin.

I will then create three digital sketches to help you visualize the final painting. These sketches will represent approximately 90% of the finished artwork, giving you a clear idea of the composition, colors, and details.

Each sketch may vary in complexity and cost. You'll have the opportunity to review the sketches, choose the one that best fits your vision, and provide feedback. I'll make adjustments until we're both happy with the final design.

Once the sketch is approved, I'll begin bringing your painting to life.

Step 3. Painting Process and Delivery

Once we've finalized the details, you can sit back and look forward to seeing your painting come to life.

Throughout the painting process, I'll keep you updated with progress pictures at various stages, giving you the opportunity to see how your artwork is developing.

These updates also allow for minor adjustments, such as color changes, to ensure the painting aligns with your vision.

Once the painting is complete and you're happy with the result, I'll request the remaining 50% payment. After receiving your final approval and payment, I'll arrange for your painting to be carefully packaged and shipped to you.

I look forward to creating something truly special for you!
