Commission Guide - How to work with Mike

I’ve kept the process of working with me really straight forward. There’s just a few things to consider before you start. And I’m more than happy to jump on a call or have a Zoom meeting to chat through anything you’re unsure of.

Step 1 – Where are you displaying the art?

• Where will the painting be displayed and positioned?
• What size should the painting be?
• Will the painting be mounted and framed?
• What style of mount and frame would best fit with its surroundings?

Step 2- Choose your style of abstract art

I’ve created four styles of abstract which you can choose from to suit your personal preference. These are a mixture of acrylic and pouring paint.

• Pollock/ drip style
• Scrape
• Spatter
• Spatter textured

Step 3 - Choose your colours for your abstract painting

I can suggest colours, or I can work with your colour palette. Most of my clients requests their colours so they match their décor or their brand. I’ve even been given bits of wallpaper and materials. It’s up to you.

Investment

Once I understand what’s required, I’ll be able to give you an idea of the investment for your commission. It does depend on the size and canvas style you would like, where you are located and whether your artwork will require framing. Whilst I don’t do framing, I have a local supplier who will be able to frame the final piece ready for shipping. Each piece will have a certificate of authenticity too.

Keeping you in the loop

For each commission, I’ll create and send you an A4 test piece so you can see the colours to ensure you’re happy with them.  Once you’ve approved the test, I’ll complete the final painting. As each layer is built up, I’ll send you images/ videos so you can see the progress. It’s really important that I involve you at each step of the process.

QUALITY PROMISE

Commissions
ART is is objective, its allows YOU to love what YOU choose.

With that in mind my aim is to produce work that “offers you something different”
Something exclusive and special to you.

All commissions are deeply personal creations that require a significant amount of emotion and collaboration with the client.

Composition, Lighting, Colour, Mood, Intensity, Message… these just a few of the elements that help me create the final piece of work.
I want you to be excited to show your friends, and if I can achieve that I am happy.

Finally for your assurance. I only use the finest quality and most robust materials allowing your ART to stay in your family for centuries.
