American
Railroad Art Commissions
I will do commissioned paintings that are specific to your
favorite
American Railroad. When doing
an art commission, I prefer to work from specific
photos or a
combination of images (that you provide) in order to create a very
unique
painting.
Specific
Subject
Matter
I can paint steam, diesel, rolling stock,
structures, etc.. I can also paint any season and/or any time
of day. So, if you
have your own special idea for a commissioned painting, I
would really like to hear from you!
Cost
Guidelines
The general pricing guideline is listed below. This pricing should only
be
used as a guideline for commissioned art work. The overall
composition will
determine the final price (i.e., it could be more or less than the
general pricing guideline below).
Timelines
for
Completion
The
timeline for completion of commissioned art work
is usually about four to six weeks in total. It generally takes two
weeks for
composition, layout,
and drawing and then four weeks to do the actual painting.
I require 20% of the commissioned price
upon signing our
agreement (based on the general pricing guideline
below). The remaing 80% of the commissioned price
will be due
upon completion.
In-Progress
Updates
I will periodically provide you with digital
images while the painting is in progress.
Materials
Used
All of my paintings are done on arches 300lbs paper and I use
only
Winsor
&
Newton Watercolors that are permanent and have the lightfastness rating
of 1 or better. Using these highest-quality materials in combination
results in a painting that will last a
lifetime.
My
100%
Satisfaction Guarantee
If
for any reason you are not completely satisfied with a
commissioned painting, I will work with you to make the painting right.
However, if you are still not completely satisfied, I will refund 100%
of the commissioned price on all American Railroad
paintings. Note: Only paintings returned in original and undamaged
condition will be elgible for the 100% commission refund.

All

Commission
Possibilites
If
you would like to commission a non-American Railroad painting (i.e.,
club railroads, model railroads, etc.) please contact me with your
idea; however, please be advised that the pricing for all non-American
Railroad commissions will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

specific direction throughout the composition
and painting stages which ultimately led to a finished product
that was tailored to their exact specifications. |
