How do Art Commissions Work?
How to do Art Commissions?
Let’s start out with getting some important stuff out of the way when you Commission an artist.
1, Please have your photo/design ready and please do not shade it or if you do shade it, make this shading minimal. It makes it really difficult to color pick and pay attention to details and the artist may sometimes mistake shading for actual markings on your portrait that they think they need to draw.
2. Find the artists who take art commission job. Do your best to describe what the painting you are after.
Please specify them while working out your order, like if your portrait to be in realistic style or artistic style and you want the artist to use oil, pastel, acrylic or do they have to remove any subjects on the background. Or, if they have special markings are an accessory that you really want them to take note of. It’s a lot easier to just state it before the artist starts instead of having them change things after they’ve completed your Commission. This is probably the most important point.
Please have the money ready before you place an order. Here at Paint My Photos, we accept 20% deposit first and pay balance before shipping. It is helpful because you can only pay a certain amount at a time to start, but please do not contact us for a commission until you’re absolutely positive that you can pay.
Art in general takes time and the artist is going to want to take their time on the piece to make sure you’re satisfied with it. Keep in mind that it’s always a nice gesture to tip an artist. Tipping the artist makes them keep you in their mind more than the other commissioners and may also make them prioritize your commission since you paid extra when you weren’t required to tipping the artists will not only benefit you but it will also benefit the artist which is a win-win back.
On the topic of details if an artist finishes your commission in your quest a few tweaks, so I think that they have the right to start charging you a few dollars extra after multiple free ones at that point you’re basically getting a new revamped Commission. So I think charging your fee for changes after doing review for free is acceptable. However, at Paintmyphotos gallery, we offer unlimited revision for free. You don’t need to pay any extra cost. keep in mind that an artist has a right to decline your commission for any reason they may have. If they do it then the best thing to do is understand and move on and find someone else to Commission. More likely, you won’t be able to change their mind, respect the artists sensitivities and guidelines to their Commission’s if they don’t accept things like not-safe-for-work or certain species like animals are MEXT, then please don’t ask about it and don’t try and negotiate with them they have their reasons maybe they’re not comfortable drawing and said things or maybe they just don’t have enough practice with drawing certain things so they don’t want to be paid to draw and make something not worth the money, just respect their Terms of Service and you’re good to go.
Please respect the amount of money an artist is charging for their work, people tend to forget that you’re not only paying for the finished product but the artists time work services and effort as well. They’re charging what they think is reasonable amount for their services whether you agree with the prices or not, either save up or just don’t comment on it and move on and find someone else to Commission.
Back on the topic of references, sometimes more than one reference can be helpful. I mean that is that if you have more photos of the figure you want us to paint, please send them as well, it is definitely not required but sometimes it’s really handy for artists to see more details and information on the figure.
I think that those are really the only basic things to keep in mind when commissioning an artist. All these tips were based off of our experience with customers.

The Stories Behind Famous Paintings
Art has always fascinated me because it’s so subjective, you can see so many different profound things with one image but there are some objective truths behind these famous paintings. Why they look the way they do?
Here’s some cool history, let’s talk about the Internet’s most tragic face, Vincent van Gogh or van Gogh. I don’t know anymore one of his most famous pieces is the starry night. The painting seems to be a composite of a few different things in the foreground. There’s a cypress tree which is often associated with cemeteries and mourning in the distance is a city, which could either be software me or a place inspired by Van Gogh’s memory of the Netherlands. All of this is set in a landscape that mimics his view from outside his window in st. Paul Asylum in South grammys. Of all and looming above it all in that picture sky with van Gogh’s famous halos swirling around the stars. Now he has always been a fan of yellow, whether it’s because his vision was literally painted due to the overconsumption of absence or digitalis or King just like the colors, but those halos may have actually been how he viewed the world. If the event, is famous for eating or trying to eat paint not because he thought he was ingesting happiness but because he wanted to kill himse. lf he was not a happy guy and gladly is not a good snack symptoms of lead poisoning, include abdominal pain mood disorders and swollen retinas this can cause a halo to appear around lights not unlike the effect in the starry night.
American Gothic by Grant Wood which is listen his name is Grant Wood on twelve and extremely abused. Anyway, the painting was inspired by a real house, the devil house in Eldon Iowa, specifically that window that would just thought looked so ridiculous. This pretentious church like window on this swingley cardboard house. He wanted to paint the people you find the such a home and for his models. He chose his sister and his business weird choice right dentist well the thing is Brentwood and dr.
Byron McKee be may have actually been on pretty familiar terms,since Woods was a sugar addict beyond coffee and cakes. he spinkle it on lettuce and tomatoes and side notes as for that window he made so much fun of it, may have actually been pretty practical for moving large pieces of furniture. It was a wide opening that to be used instead of the narrow stairs indoors. You know when pivoting would it work. Takes an honest look at the most curious parts of our world and shares it with you from the connection between skyscrapers and economic crises to emojis.
Let’s talk about Edvard Munch’s the scream or then you should call it the scream because there are fortify versions floating around. There’s the most famous 1893 tempera on cardboard along with the 1893 crayons on cardboard, then the most expensive 1895 pastel on cardboard and Alessa grassman’s from the same year and finally in 1910 there’s the second screen with tempera on cardboard. Basically there’s a lot of screaming now. There are three interesting aspects to this picture. The perspective, the screamer and the sky so the painting is a composite of two perspectives on expert hill in Oslo Norway. The foreground along the road and the background from a cliff or under 20 feet above. Now the screamer may not be a really anguished emoji or it may have been inspired by a Peruvian mummy that was a part of the 1880 World’s Fair in Paris, it would have been strange since miss mummy served as a model in all gogans.
Where do we come from what are we where are we going, a title I can only imagine he came up with on a road trip but finally the sky a really vibrant blood orange okay. It’s red so on the 80 to 95 pastel version munch edge the poem on the frame. It goes I was walking along the road with two friends the Sun was setting the sky turned blood-red and I felt a wave of sadness, I pause tired to death above the blue black yard and city blood and flaming tongue covered. My friends walked on, I stayed behind quaking with eggs. I felt the great scream in nature pushing aside the emo lyrics. It would seem that the sky was the result of a normal Setting Sun but there exist sketches of the screen from 1885 onward and there’s something very interesting that occurred during that time the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883. Now this was not some boring explosion. Krakatoa in Indonesia killed more than 36,000 people, it cost tsunamis whose remnant were felt all the way in the English Channel, it caused earthquakes that reached Australia and it shot so much volcanic ash into the sky that its effects lingered for a few years.
One interesting effect was a color shift the ash clouds darken the sky and all around the world sunsets from east coast America to Britain to Norway, became a vibrant vivid red and it’s possible that this is the sunset that much saw while walking with his friends red like blood and fire and in it he heard a scream well that was just some cool history on famous paintings now what about you guys what is your favorite piece of art tell me down below my favorite is your face if you enjoyed this episode or you just want to support the show consider getting like share and subscribe but either way have a lovely day don’t forget to check out zoetic I recommend this video about the danger of the light or if you want some cool history on famous paintings that were digital I check out this video both a great time what one don’t know what that voice was

The Stories Behind Famous Paintings
Why is Vermeer’s “Girl with the Pearl Earring” considered a masterpiece?
<p>It is the mysterious subject of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, “<a href=”https://www.outpost-art.org/girl-with-a-pearl-earring-p-19781.html”>Girl with a Pearl Earring</a>.” The plate is often referred to as “North Mona Lisa.” Belong to the ideal Dutch style, sometimes too expressive Known as “Troni” any face, The Girl with Pearl Earring has two gravitational grafts And the remarkable silence of Vermeer. But this painting stands apart from the quiet narrative scenes Which we observe from afar in a lot of paintings (Vermeer). A girl reads a message. piano Lesson. Portrait of an artist working. These paintings give us a sense of familiarity from a reasonable distance, The slanted curtain often symbolizes separation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img style=”display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;” src=”https://www.outpost-art.org/images/Jan%20Vermeer/The%20Kitchen%20Maid.jpg” alt=”” width=”523″ height=”585″ /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>See the maid pour milk quietly, But milk is not for us. What we are only spectators. The compositions studied in Vermeer’s paintings. A sense of balanced harmony. The chess-like floor is in many of his works We show us the Vermeer control of the oblique perspective technology. It is a technique that uses angle deflection To create an illusion, retreat an object away. Other elements are line of sight, mirrors and light sources Describe the moment according to position and area. A woman reading a message next to an open window Neatly positioned to reflect the image of the viewer. Vermeer may conceals a man who rests the painter for the sake of composition. The absence of these elements in the “Pearl Earring Girl” painting gives her life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The method of treatment (Vermeer) of light and shadow or evacuation and stoning Its use means a dark, flat background to highlight its three dimensions. Instead of being a piece in a theater scene, Become a psychological subject. Her visual communication and her lips as far apart as if she were about to say something Make us stand up for her campaign. The nobles or religious figures were the subject of the prevailing portraits. So why did Vermeer draw an unknown girl? In the seventeenth century the city (Delft) like the Netherlands as a whole, Rebellion against Aristocratic rule and the Catholic Church. After eight decades of revolution against Spanish rule, The Dutch favored autonomy and a political republic. The city of Delif was not under the rule of any kings or bishops, Many painters, such as Vermeer, remained without the usual officials. Fortunately, he did economic innovation Which was led by the company “East India” Dutch Change the economic landscape in the Netherlands. Which led to the emergence of a class of traders and a new kind of power.</p>
<p><img style=”display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;” src=”https://www.outpost-art.org/images/Jan%20Vermeer/Houses%20in%20Delft.jpg” alt=”” width=”492″ height=”600″ /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And their desire to appear in the paintings they funded These traders preferred to draw people from the middle class Within areas that look like their homes And are surrounded by familiar things. The maps shown in Vermeer’s paintings, for example It was considered a merchant class known as the Golden Age of the Netherlands Popular and global The Oriental turban worn by the “Pearl Earring Girl” It reflected the global dimension of the merchant class, The pearl, which symbolizes wealth, is an exaggeration. Vermeer could not buy a pearl of this size. Most likely, a piece of glass or tin was painted to look like a pearl. This illusion of richness is reflected in the painting itself. In a broader context, the pearl looks round and heavy, But when you look at it carefully it will look like a floating coating. When we examine them carefully, we can see the ability of Vermeer as an illusionist Even if we do not know the identity of the real Pearl Girl, We can enjoy its plate in an unforgettable way It hangs in its eternal resting place at the Museum of Murchus in The Hague Its presence is both static and disturbing.</p>
<p><img style=”display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;” src=”https://www.outpost-art.org/images/Jan%20Vermeer/The%20Concert%20.jpg” alt=”” width=”532″ height=”600″ /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In its mysterious way, it represents the birth of a contemporary perspective Economy, politics and love.</p>
