By Artists & Designer
A commission is the hiring and payment for the creation of a piece of art or design, often on behalf of your client.
Throughout history, it has been common for rulers and governments to commission public art as a means of demonstrating power and wealth, or even for specific propaganda purposes.As an Artist you will come across where your client might commission you to do a painting according to their theme and colours. This is where you have a mission to deliver their vision. You need to understand what they want in a painting and create a painting that sums up their interpretation.
Once good aspect of commission work is you can charge your fee at a high rate, this is because you are creating an artwork just for them.
Some artists we have coached are specialised in only doing commission paintings only. Some of our fashion designers are also doing special theatrical costumes or evening gowns. These type of commission works can be demanding and time consuming, therefore you need to charge at a higher rate.
