Custom Traditional Art

I offer custom paintings and drawings created from your reference images. Choose from acrylic on canvas, graphite on paper, or colored pencil on paper. Final pricing depends on size, number of subjects, detail level, background complexity, deadline, and intended usage.

Here’s How it Works

  1. Submit a request.
    Send your idea, preferred medium, size, deadline, and reference images.

  2. Review and quote.
    I review the request and confirm availability, pricing, timeline, and any additional fees.

  3. Approve the details.
    We confirm the subject, composition, materials, size, intended usage, and final price.

  4. Pay the deposit.
    A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your commission and begin work.

  5. Review the initial sketch.
    One initial sketch revision is included. Major changes after approval may require an additional fee.

  6. Complete the artwork.
    I finish the artwork according to the approved details and provide progress updates when appropriate.

    The remaining balance is due before shipment or pickup.

  8. Receive the artwork.
