Sade by Dangerous Lee!

When you hear about commissioned art, no matter what type of art that may be, there is a chance that you are wondering what it is exactly. To put it simply, a commissioned piece of art is something that you request specifically from a company or artist.

What type of art is commissioned art?

There are many types of art that an artist may be asked to complete, including; family portraits, landscape paintings and abstract painting, but the most important thing to do is to make sure that you get the right artist or company for you. This does require a lot of research, but it is well worth it if you want the right piece of art. Failure to research the company/artist you are purchasing from may leave you disappointed with the final piece, and refunds may not be an option.

Make sure you talk to the dealer/site

As soon as you decide that you would like a piece of commissioned art, it is a good idea to have a look on the Internet at the websites of local artists who you think may suit your task. It is vital their style is suitable for the work you would like completed, as this means that you would have the best chance of receiving a piece of work that you love. You may also want to take the time to speak to the artist or company to get a feel of who they are and what they do before you start thinking about buying their art.

Get all your questions answered

Secondly, on the majority of websites, you will find that they have a section dedicated to the frequently asked questions that they receive. If you know that you have something you would like to ask the artist, then this is the place to go, as you may find that it has been answered for you. If not, make sure you take the time to contact them, even if it is by email.

Finally, once you have all the information you need, you should make contact and ask to see a sample of commissioned art that they have completed before. Never be worried about asking questions. It is important that you choose the right person for the job, as it is a task that needs to be completely unique to you and your piece of art. Finding the correct individual to work on your commissioned art can be difficult, but ultimately, it is worth the effort in the long term.
