The Commission Experience

Step 1: Initial Inquiry

Begin by sharing your ideas through my [Commission Request Form] or by emailing tracy@lifewithtracy.com.
We’ll discuss:

• Subject or inspiration

• Size & orientation

• Color palette preferences

• Timeline

• Budget range

Step 2: Proposal & Agreement

You’ll receive a personalized proposal detailing:

• Size, medium, and estimated completion date

• Investment breakdown

• Payment schedule

A signed agreement and a 50% non-refundable deposit secure your place on my calendar.

Step 3: Concept Development

You’ll receive either a preliminary sketch or mood board for review.
One to two small refinements are included before I begin painting.

Step 4: Creation Process

Your piece comes to life in my studio.
During this time:

• You’ll receive one mid-progress update

• A final preview will be shared for your approval

Step 5: Delivery

Once the remaining balance is received, your painting is:

• Varnished for longevity

• Professionally packaged for safe shipping

• Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity

Step 6: A Lasting Connection

All commissioned clients join my Collector’s Circle, receiving early access to new collections and special projects.

Investment

Commissioned works begin at $575 and vary based on size, complexity, and desired timeline.

Design Notes for Implementation:

• Use plenty of white space between steps to make the process feel calm and luxurious.

• Choose serif headings paired with clean sans-serif body text for an upscale look.

• Include full-width images of past commissions or close-ups of paint texture for visual richness.

• The call-to-action button should appear at the top and bottom of the page.

• Use a neutral color palette (white, cream, gold accents, deep navy) so your artwork pops.
