'I know I want
something, but I'm not sure what.'
A normal and reasonable
comment, and the position that most clients find themselves in.
It is the artist's job
to assist you in developing your initial thoughts, however vague, into an
idea or proposal which is unique to you.
The consultation
process
The process starts with
an initial consultation. You will be given the opportunity to express any
thoughts or ideas you have: 'I was thinking of a large piece, to fill this
space. Maybe figurative/abstract?' would be a perfectly acceptable start.
From here you will be
shown both the artist's work and examples of the work of others. Your
budget, tastes, the decor of the site, and if appropriate your audience,
will be taken into account to create the starting 'brief'.
From this 'brief' an
accurate quote will be prepared and some initial artwork presented and sited
digitally - for you to get some flavour of what a finished piece may look
like.
At this point you can
decide not to proceed with the commission and no charge will be made.
If you decide to go
ahead, more consultation will take place and you will be given frequent
updates on the progress of the work until it is completed to your
satisfaction.
Payment is due only on
successful completion of the project.

It is quite reasonable that a
client should have a very clear idea about what it is they want. It is the
artist's job to work within the client's requirements. You should feel
confident that your ideas and thoughts have value within the commissioning
process and are welcomed at all times. The commissioning of artwork revolves
around a meeting of minds between client and artist.
The Consultation Process
Your consultation will begin with
a discussion around the style of the work that you'd like.
Ideally, if it is convenient to
you, the consultation will take place in the location in which the finished
work is to be mounted.
Feel free to discuss any artist
whose work you particularly admire, or any artistic movement that you feel
would be appropriate. If desired, Chris can bring a portfolio of work by a
variety of artists to explore the exact match for your requirements. We will
need to take into account your budget, tastes, decor of the site and, if
appropriate, your audience to create the starting 'brief'.
From this 'brief'
an accurate quote will be prepared and some initial artwork will be
presented and sited digitally for you to get some flavour of what a finished
piece may look like.
At this point you can decide not to proceed with the commission and no charge will be made.
If you decide to go ahead, more
consultation will take place and you will be given frequent updates on the
progress of the work until it is completed to your satisfaction.
Payment is due only on completion
of the project.
