Commissions

Due to the increase in demand for commission work, I have listed new pricing and general guidelines for 2024.

General Guidelines:

  • I will only accept a commission painting request if it is something that I care to paint.
  • I will paint with acrylic on canvas or watercolor on paper. Whatever the customer would like. See pricing below.
  • I enjoy painting commissions… but, bottom line, I don’t want to waste my time if a customer decides not to pay…. Yes, this has happened several times and I really can’t afford to do this. So… Effective Jan. 1, 2024, commission requests will require a minimum 50% down payment. This deposit is necessary. If you decide you don’t want your artwork after it is completed, you won’t owe me anything more… but the deposit will not be refunded.
  • Trying to capture an image with paint in the same way a customer see’s the same image is difficult. I will require a photo of the subject you want me to paint… and an understanding that my interpretation of the subject will follow my style of painting. In other words… don’t expect a photo realistic painting.
  • Once a commission is agreed upon, I will let you know when you can expect it to be completed. I will give you some idea. But… please be patient. Due to unforeseen circumstances, there could be short delays.
  • I will let you know when I start and keep you updated with progress. I may ask you questions during the process. Once I start yours, I won’t start a new painting until yours is finished.
  • No re-dos for free, except for minor changes that take a few minutes.
  • If you have any questions about any of these guidelines, please ask me. I love doing this type of artwork. I just want to lay out expectations for both of us.
  • After reading the above guidelines, if you are still interested in me painting something for you, please contact me by email at rmancil@yahoo.com or my private message on Facebook. Thank you!
