Commissions

Transform your space with an oil painting that captures the beauty of landscapes in my distinctive style. Specialising in rich, vibrant oil paintings, I create one-of-a-kind artworks up to 1.5 metres in size, perfect for homes, offices, or special gifts. Each piece is hand-painted, reflecting my passion for capturing the essence of nature’s scenery. My work focuses exclusively on landscape oil paintings, created with high-quality oils. Information about my method of painting can be found here.

Commission Process

​
Commissioning a painting is a collaborative and exciting journey. Here’s how it works:
  • Initial Enquiry: Contact me via email or the enquiry form to discuss your vision, including size (up to 1.5 metres), subject, and any inspiration images or ideas.

  • Consultation: We’ll discuss your preferences in detail, including colour schemes, mood, and composition. I’ll provide a quote based on the size and complexity of the piece.

  • Deposit: A deposit (50%) secures your commission and covers initial materials. The deposit is non-refundable if you change your mind and when the painting is very personal and specific. The deposit is refundable only if the painting is of a general nature and didn't meet the expectations we agreed on, which is highly unlikely to happen. 

  • Sketch and Approval: I’ll create preliminary sketches to outline the composition for your approval, ensuring it aligns with your vision.

  • Painting Process: I’ll begin painting, keeping you updated with progress photos. You can provide feedback, with minor revisions allowed during this stage.

  • Completion and Delivery: Once the painting is complete, I’ll send final images for your approval. The remaining balance is due before shipping. I offer free delivery within Australia; international shipping (e.g., to the US) may incur additional fees.
​
  • Timeline: Depending on the size and complexity, commissions typically take 6–12 weeks to complete. I’ll provide a specific timeline upon enquiry. Please note that oil paintings take time to complete and require time to dry and be ready to be delivered without risk of damage.

Details and Pricing
Pricing is based on the size of the painting, with a 10-15% variation depending on complexity. Prices increase by 5-15% annually to reflect my growing experience. Subjects can include landscapes, seascapes, or personal scenes—please specify your preferences.

I use high-quality oil to capture the essence of your chosen scene, adhering to my realistic style. 

Important Note: I only create commissions in my unique oil painting style and do not replicate other artists’ works or use other mediums. Please review my portfolio to ensure my style aligns with your vision before proceeding.

Satisfaction is guaranteed: if the final painting does not meet the agreed specifications, you may decline it without losing your deposit, except in cases of personal paintings where the deposit is forfeited. Please contact me to discuss your commission or request examples of past works.

Testimonials

"Thank you Chris it is amazing we love it So much.
We set it up a bit higher than advised because the little man runs along the couch but still makes the house a lot brighter and is the talk of the house now. I'm so stoked with choosing you as the artist I don't think anyone would have done a better job so thank you once again".  -Kyle

"We would just like to thank Chris for the amazing painting we commissioned. He spent the time to get to know us and the landscape we wanted painted to ensure it was everything we dreamed of. Through the whole process Chris kept us up to date continually sending photos of his progress. When he delivered the painting to our front door, we were absolutely blown away by the detail, colours, and absolute overall beauty of it. In the photos it looked amazing but it was nothing compared to viewing it in real life. We cannot recommend Chris highly enough. This painting has exceed all expectations."   -  Melinda & Michael


"I wanted a special painting for a gift for someone who misses his beautiful homeland. I did choose a stunning natural park in Venezuela and sent several pictures to Chris. Chris created his own version of the park combining several landmarks. After he drew several drafts he asked me for my opinion or if I wished to change or add something. It was really beautiful but as I told him it is more beautiful when you see it directly. The details, colors, shadows seems that it was painted directly on the spot." -  Sandra B.

 "To me Chris' landscapes are very impressive, beautiful colours and well painted. I asked Chris to do a portrait of my parents as a birthday gift. I was very pleased and happy when I received the portrait. Even though Chris only had a few pictures to work from, he managed to capture the essence of my parents which he transformed into a beautiful painting". - Wei Li
