Commissions
Have an artwork created for you that incorporates your personal requests and adds a meaningful work to your collection.
What is a commission?
I welcome commissions. This is when you can ask me as an artist to create a new artwork that will meet your needs. You may love an artwork that already sold, you may need a custom size or you might just wish to have a painting of your favourite flower in my style.
How does it work?
As a figurative painter I can create any artwork and I like to paint subjects that could be people, houses, pets, food, still life scenes and landscapes. Previous commissions have celebrated engagements, weddings, milestone birthdays, friendships and even the space we call home.
Have you seen a painting of mine that has sold or you need a specific size? I may be able to recreate the work to your needs.
Commissions are an exploration in which I enjoy adding in personal touches. I can also incorporate elements such as book pages, music sheets, songs, sayings and colours.
Materials
Your artwork can be created on paper, board or canvas.
You can specify your preferred mediums or I can be inspired to choose what would work best. I am highly skilled with the use of any art medium. This includes pastels, acrylic paint, watercolours, ink, coloured pencil, graphite, collage and many more.
All art supplies are top grade artist quality materials. Some of the brands include Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, Derwent, Faber Castell, Saunders Waterford, Arches and Art Spectrum.
Go big! Measure your wall once, twice, three times.
THE END PAINTING IS A MAGICAL BLEND OF TWO SPIRITS
“I have bought several pieces along the way, from prints, cards and most recently a commissioned painting of my friend and I. Through this purchase I got an insight into the artist herself. Alicia is a joy to work with, full of enthusiasm and she was extremely attentive to what my friend and I sought for in the painting. We provided several photos and gave a few pointers but pretty much let her go free rein!
You can never predict the final finished piece – but my, what a beautiful creative depiction of our friendship it truly is. To say we are delighted is an understatement.
If you want a special piece of artwork which is truly yours, I strongly recommend enquiring about a commissioned project, let Alicia do what she does best and I promise you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be a returning customer without doubt, just a real shame we live half way round the world from each other!”
