Commisions

What are the benefits of commissioning a painting?
Commissioning a painting allows you to capture a cherished view of your favorite city, landscape, or subject in a piece perfectly tailored to your space's size, color palette, and ambiance. At Dickinson Studio, I'll collaborate closely with you through in-person studio meetings or video calls to craft a unique artwork that meets your vision and becomes a treasured part of your life for years.

What types of paintings can I commission?
You can commission cityscapes, landscapes, or portraits. Provide your own reference photos, or request that I capture new ones (such as for specific landscapes or city views) to inspire the work.

Can I commission a copy of a sold painting?
Every painting I create is unique, embodying the inspiration, emotion, and creative energy of the moment. I don't replicate past works, but if a specific piece resonates with you, I'm happy to develop a new original inspired by its subject, colors, or mood—ensuring it's distinctly yours.

How long does a commission take?
Timelines vary based on the painting's size and my current workload. Smaller pieces may be completed and shipped in a couple of months, while larger ones could take several. My schedule is often booked months ahead, so please plan accordingly for gifts or time-sensitive needs.

What is the commission process?
We begin with discussions on the subject, size, and details, followed by a formal contract outlining everything. I'll use photo editing software to generate a concept image for your review and any adjustments. Once approved, I'll paint the piece based on our agreed vision and ship it promptly upon completion.

How much does a commission cost?
Commissions are priced to account for the personalized time, attention, and collaboration required, making them higher than pre-existing works. I invest effort in understanding your preferences to deliver a deeply meaningful piece.
