To start working on your painting, we would need to go through the following steps.


1/ DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA / VISUAlS (photos)

Please let me know what you would like to get - send me your images, pics, other paintings that you want your painting to be like, in a word, everything that will help you give your idea. If you don't exactly know what your painting must look like, then specify the colors you prefer and describe what your painting must depict - just a sunset, a sunset over the sea, a forest etc.


Please also DECIDE UPON THE PAINTING SIZE and let me know


POPULAR SIZES (INCHES / CM)

16 x 12 inch (40 x 30 cm)
20 x 16 inch (50 x 40 cm)
24 x 16 inch (60 x 40 cm)
24 x 18 inch (60 x 45 cm)
27.5 x 20 inch (70 x 50 cmm)
31.5 x 24 inch (80 x 60 cm)
35.5 x 24 inch (90 x 60 cm)
39.5 x 20 inch (100 x 50 cm)
39.5 x 27.5 inch (100 x 70 cm)

Any other size (and shapes, like round canvas) are absolutely possible upon your request.


2/ THE SKETCH

After we have figured out what type of painting you want, I will make a sketch (using pastel) and show it to you so that you could evaluate if I understood your idea right, and if the composition of the future painting and the color scheme is exactly how you see them / like them.


3/ DEPOSIT

After you approved the sketch, I'll offer you a start/finish date for your painting. Then I usually require a USD 75 deposit to secure your order on my waiting list. Usually, I start working on commissions on the 1st-3d day after placing the deposit.

Clients can prepay me using Etsy custom order listing (via Paypal). Upon your request, I can advise my credit/debit card details.


4/ THE PAINTING PROCESS

As I work on your commission, I'll send you photos of my progress at various stages so you can see how it's progressing and suggest any changes or modifications you'd want to see.

If using oil paints, your painting will need a certain time to dry. Normally it takes around 6 weeks. After that, the painting will be varnished to preserve the brightness of the paints and protect the artwork from dust and any damage.


5/ FINAL PAYMENT

After your painting has been completed, all required alterations have been done, and you are fully satisfied with the result, you will pay me the remaining balance (using PayPal or credit/debit card)


6/ EXPORT PERMIT 

While you are making your final payment, I am applying to the State Department of culture for issuing Export Permit. Usually, it takes 5-7 business days to obtain the docs (but often shorter)


6/ SHIPPING & DELIVERY OF YOUR ARTWORK

I ship artworks worldwide. International shipping terms & costs are usually provided individually, depending on the size of the package, the destination country, and the currier services used (DHL is the fastest & the most costly one).

PLEASE NOTE: I normally don't frame all commission paintings.
