Are you looking for a new piece of art for your home? Has it been a while since you sat down and taken a family portrait? Portrait commissions present the perfect opportunity for spicing up your home with a gorgeous piece of art. These custom pieces can be done in a number of different styles, from a realistic oil painting to an abstract mixed media piece. Whether you want to spruce up your room with a painting of your faithful dog or some pop art of you and your friends, custom portrait commissions will make the perfect addition to your home or office.
When people think of portrait commissions, they typically assume it is too costly for them. However, it is possible to find an affordable artist that fits your budget. You just might have to make some adjustments on the size of your portrait as well as any extra details you originally wanted to include. For example, a large canvas covering a portion of your wall is certainly going to be more expensive than a small portrait that you hang in your office.
Luckily, there are a number of talented artists out there who can achieve your vision without leaving you broke. Together, you can design a style of art that flows perfectly in whatever room you hang it in.
Speaking of artists, finding a skilled and qualified one has never been easier. Traditionally, people had to Google different artists in their area or search on places like Etsy to find one that worked for them. Hours would typically be spent hunting down an artist, reaching out to them, and starting a contract for a piece. That, of course, would be dependent on whether they have the availability to create your painting. If the original artist you wanted to work with is unable to paint a portrait for you at this time, you would have to repeat the process all over again.

Also, you don’t have to have your portrait painted on a canvas. Many customers in the past have commissioned portraits on blankets, paper, mugs, and even rocks. It never hurts to think outside the box when it comes to art.
When you commission a portrait, you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to what style you want to use and what medium you think would work best. Some people prefer colorful abstract portraits that focus on the essence of the person while others want a realistic watercolor of themselves. The amount of detail will impact the final cost of your portrait, so make sure you keep that in mind when describing your vision to the artist.
