Commissioning your painting

How it works

1

You send me photos. I can choose with you, or select the best photo or photos myself, for one person or several, a face or a full figure in a scene

2

I give you a quote – 50% is paid in advance, 50% on completion

3

I paint, and share progress photos with you

“Mariana is an extremely talented artist, she is very imaginative with a great eye for how the final work will look in its’ setting and is completely honest and trustworthy. I will continue to ask her to do work for me and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”
