Guide to Commissioning Custom Art

Commissioning a custom piece of art with Shadi Mahsa is a collaborative and fulfilling experience. Whether you’re envisioning a personal portrait, a unique abstract painting, or a nature-inspired masterpiece, this guide will walk you through the entire process, ensuring your ideas are brought to life with care and creativity.

Step 1 – Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a conversation. Share your vision, ideas, and preferences with Shadi through email, phone, or a virtual meeting. This discussion helps her understand the essence of what you want to achieve, including:

  • Type of Artwork:Portrait, abstract, nature-inspired, or floral.
  • Style and Mood:Bold, serene, vibrant, or minimalist.
  • Colours and Themes:Specific colour palettes or themes you’d like reflected.
  • Size and Format:Dimensions suitable for your space (e.g., large wall art, framed canvas).

Shadi will also guide you on choosing the ideal materials, whether it’s oil, acrylic, or watercolour, to match your vision.

Step 2 – Proposal and Quote

After the initial consultation, Shadi will provide a detailed proposal outlining:

  • The concept and approach to the artwork.
  • Materials and techniques to be used.
  • Timeline for completion.
  • A clear pricing breakdown based on size, complexity, and materials.

This ensures complete transparency and allows you to refine details before moving forward.

Step 3 – Approval and Deposit

Once the proposal is finalised and approved, a deposit is required to secure the project. This step confirms your commitment and allows Shadi to begin sourcing materials and preparing the canvas for your custom piece.

Step 4 – Creation Process

During the creation phase, Shadi will bring your vision to life, blending her expertise with your input. Depending on the project, you may receive progress updates and photos to ensure the work aligns with your expectations.

For portraits and other personal pieces, Shadi may request additional photos or references to capture the subject’s essence accurately.

Step 5 – Review and Final Touches

Once the artwork is complete, you’ll have the opportunity to review it. If adjustments are needed, Shadi will incorporate your feedback to ensure you’re fully satisfied. Minor refinements are included in the process to perfect your piece.

Step 6 – Delivery or Collection

After final approval and payment of the remaining balance, your custom artwork will be ready for delivery or collection. Shadi offers secure shipping worldwide, ensuring your piece arrives safely. For local clients, personal collection can also be arranged.
