For a commission, you need to provide a good, clear photo with good lighting. You can provide other photos for reference for color, and details. These can be emailed or sent regular mail and will be returned.
I don't require a deposit, and usually don't provide work-in-progress photos, but when the painting is finished, you will be sent an email with a photo for your approval. If you approve the painting, payment must be made. As soon as the payment is cleared and received, your painting will be mailed to you carefully wrapped. It will include a black mat but no frame. The size of the actual painting will be painted to fit in the opening of the mat. So if the mat size is 8x10, the opening in the mat is usually 4x6.
My paintings are usually done without a background on white watercolor paper. If you would like a background, that can be discussed.
