What better way to decorate a space and diversify your collection than with a commissioned piece of artwork? These days it is more accessible than ever to request a personalized work of art from an artist you love. And once you get comfortable and familiar with the process, you\u2019ll find how fun it can be!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like any collaborative project, the outcome will depend on both the artist and collector. In this post, we\u2019ll go over the do\u2019s and don’ts of art commissions so you know what to expect and how to ensure a successful commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why Commission An Artwork?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many people commission artwork because working with an artist is a more unique and personalised experience than endlessly searching for that perfect piece \u2013 you know, the one that may or may not exist already. Commissioned artwork has a reputation for being more valuable because it\u2019s one-of-a-kind art created<\/span> just <\/span><\/i>for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Going the commission route also gives you a lot of flexibility and creative freedom. You can choose the specifications like the size, colours, style, medium, etc. You can choose a subject that means a lot to you, or base your art on the interior design of the space where you\u2019ll be hanging the art.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In some cases it can be more affordable than purchasing one of the artist\u2019s original pieces, however in some cases it can be more expensive as you are signing up for a premium experience. In this case, it\u2019s usually well worth it because you\u2019re working with an artist with extensive experience that\u2019ll make for outstanding results.<\/span><\/p>\n
