Commissions

Debra Whelan Art - Framed Commission Example

Portraits painted from your photos

Portrait commissions are especially welcomed, as I am passionate about visually commemorating the human and animal spirit. I find nothing more timeless than an artfully painted portrait, one that captures the likeness and quintessential character of a beloved person or pet.

When you contact me, we will discuss your vision for the portrait and I will work from photos that you provide in order to create a portrait that I know you will treasure.

How it works

  1. Contact me with your idea and photos, and we’ll talk through your vision for the portrait.
  2. I send you an agreement describing the portrait and its price.
  3. You pay a non-refundable deposit of half the total.
  4. I email you the painting as it progresses so you can give feedback, with two complimentary rounds of minor edits.
  5. You approve the finished painting and pay the balance.
  6. The print ships directly to you or to the recipient, usually about two weeks after we begin, depending on the complexity of the subject. Shipping is calculated from the location and current rates.

For any requests or further questions, please feel free to drop me a line at anytime. I generally respond within 24 hours. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and browse my online gallery!

When do I pay?

Half the total as a non-refundable deposit once you accept the agreement, and the balance when you approve the finished painting.
