Q: How can I be sure if I commission an artist I will like the end result?

A: Comme Ca Art works closely with both the artist and the client on commissions. We make sure the client sees as much of the artist’s previous work as possible. This helps to the client get a sense of familiarity with the scale of the works, the artist’s colour palette, the artist’s style, etc. Whenever possible, we introduce the artist to the client so they can discuss the commission in depth and answer any questions the client may have and visa versa for the artist.

Comme Ca asks the artist to create a scaled drawing or model. This helps the client to see how the commission will look once it is completed. The artist is only allowed to start work on a commission once the customer is completely satisfied with the preliminary sketches / models / materials / colours, etc.

Q: How long will a commission take to complete?

A: This really does depend on the artist in question and the scale of the particular commission. To give you an idea, if you were to commission an artist to paint a 122cm x 122cm, (4ft square), oil on canvas painting it could take up to six weeks including drying time. The same painting painted in acrylic could take up to three weeks including drying time. A sculpture commission could take anywhere from six weeks to twelve weeks depending on ordering the correct materials and equipment.

Comme Ca and the artist work out a schedule time table. This includes a completion date and installation deadline, if agreed with the client. A contract is drawn up by Comme Ca Art between the artist and the client and Comme Ca meet with the artist at regular intervals to make sure the all works are being completed.
