Commissioning An Artist

Why you might want to commission an artist. 

 There are many reasons why people commission an artist. Maybe they want to have a special idea realized by them. Sometimes, an original painting has been sold but they would love something similar.   Popular uses for commissions are:   Personal portraits of you or loved ones (e.g., as a gift, wall art, your favorite pet …)   

 Types of usage and rights of commissioned art 

 Who owns a commissioned art piece? The short answer: It depends. The specific usage rights have to be discussed with the artist and formalized through a written agreement.   Copyright usually remains with the artist in any case (unless they formally give it up). Nobody else could simply claim they have created that specific artwork; the artist remains the author.   

 Personal vs. commercial use 

 If you commission artwork for personal use, things are usually a bit simpler. In this case, you would probably only want to hang it in your house or maybe post it on social media anyways.   If you commission a piece of art for commercial use, you may want to claim more usage rights, such as printing, reproducing, or altering the artwork to fit your branded identity. Often, businesses are looking for exclusive usage rights of a work of art so nobody can copy their campaign.   Personal use means the artwork is only intended for yourself (or friends, family, …), commercial use of an artwork refers to anything related to selling and advertising.   

 Other aspects to consider

 How much does it cost to commission an artist? 

 Some artists explicitly state the commission prices on their website, with others you will have to discuss your individual project needs first. 

Pricing factors 

 The final price depends on the size of the artwork, usage rights, medium, cost of materials, the time required to produce the artwork, detail, scope of the project, … The more usage rights you want for the artwork and the more complex the project, the more expensive it will be.     

 What is the process after commissioning an artwork? 

 So you have agreed that you want the artist to create a painting, you have discussed the details and you have signed the agreement. What happens next? Realistically, you will first have to pay. After the initial payment, the artist will start working on your assignment.   Often artists first create a sketch or several proposals for you to choose from. These can either be accepted or altered until you agree on a design that then will be finalized.   How much artists update you about the process, depends on them and what you agreed on. This especially goes for revisions. Talk about whether revisions are possible and if so, how many and at what cost.   Most artists are happy to make quick, minor changes, but if they require a lot of effort, extra fees might apply.   As soon as the commission is completely finalized, it will be delivered as promised and the final payment ensues.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
