Outline of a Commission

Inquiry

Each commission begins with a conversation between the client and the artist by which the vision for the project is developed.  This stage includes a series of initial sketches, revisions and a final sketch and oil color study (in the case of an oil painting), or a rough clay model (in the case of a sculpture). 

Contract

If we agree we are a good fit, we will enter into a clear professional contract outlining our mutual understanding of the terms of our engagement, timeline,  and payment plan.   

Execution

Shana realizes the painting or sculpture with professional materials and craftmanship. 

Depending on the project, and the terms of engagement previously agreed upon,  the artist and client may touch base as the project progresses. 

Payment and Delivery

Final payment is received. The work is  securely packaged and delivered to the client.
