Book a Commission

Commissions are accepted via email to KristenFissell@gmail.com

To Make A Request: please include a description of the project including size, colors, and outcome vision. I generally work in watercolor but I can also do acrylic or digital. Projects will be accepted if it is within my style and capabilities. Requests for pets, animals, marine scenes, florals, landscapes, buildings, nature or any of those combined will generally be accepted. I am not currently taking requests for portraits of people in photorealism. People in the background or in loose style are okay.

Pre-Commission Agreement: I will schedule a short phone call or receive in writing intended outcome to be agreed upon before we begin.

Pricing: I calculate pricing by square inch. Currently the price is $2 per square inch. I would like to make my art accessible to folks who are working with smaller budgets, please communicate with me if that’s the case!

Shipping: Customers will pay for shipping (normally ranges between $6 and $20). If you are local (within 20 miles) I will drop off your commission for free. I will personally package each item to be shipped through USPS Priority Mail. Shipping rates will vary based on size, weight, and destination. Shipping options and any additional costs will be discussed and agreed upon prior to executing.

Timing: you can expect a commission to take 4-5 weeks from start to completion depending sizing of request and pending other commissions I am working on. Projects can be expedited at a 20-50% cost increase depending on how fast it is needed.

Payment: a downpayment of 50% will be required when we agree on commission terms, the other 50% will be due on the day of shipping. I accept payments through PayPal, cash, or check.

Pet Portraits: I request a reference photo of your pet in good lighting (no odd shadows or exceptionally bright sunlight), with the animal(s) in the general pose/background. Additional photos are useful for me to get more of an understanding of your pet but are not required.

Creative Process: I will give you visual updates in stages (draft/sketch, laying of paint, final touches) for your input and confirmation that the commission is happening in the direction you are wanting it.

Copyrights: even after purchasing a piece, artists still retain legal rights to it. My work should not be duplicated, copied, sold, or transferred to another party without written and signed consent from the owner. Please let me know ahead of time if you do not want your commission to be displayed publicly.
