What can I do?

• My art centers around fantasy landscapes and individuals primarily in oil paints, though I am not opposed to non-fantasy works.

• Looking at my gallery you'll get an idea of my style, so you can see what I can and cannot do.

• I can do fanart if you give me enough references/background information.

• I can change a piece of artwork. Minor details such as wrong eye colour, adding a background, etc. I do only work in oils, but I have completed mixed media items such as a pastel piece where I worked with a very thinned down pigment.

​

​Request Procedure

STEP 1 Send  me a note with the basic idea of what you want, and references if you have them, details, colors, etc. The more detailed description the better. You can contact me on my social media or send an email to thebobatinos@gmail.com (NOTE: I reserve the right to decline a request at this point).

 

STEP 2 Once the a price is settled, and clear expectations have been made, a down payment of 50% of the agreed payment is requested for materials and initial work.

 

STEP 3 Updates will be sent every week or two depending on how fast each layer dries. This is a great time to discuss small changes, additions, etc. Communication is key, this is your piece and I want to paint your vision with my style.

​

STEP 4 Once finished, I will send final photo to you. Once dry, depending on the technique, varnishing can be applied (some pieces are particularly slow drying, it can be difficult to varnish paintings with thick paint but I will let you know if I recommend varnishing in the future instead of done by me.)

 

STEP 5 I will send a final invoice, please check your address once again to see if it is correct! Then your freshly painted oil painting will be on its' way to a new home.

​What you can and cannot do with your commission

• The finished piece can be summited to your own gallery, but credit must be given.

•  You can modify the piece and use it for personal purposes, as in banners for websites/blogs, journal CSS's, etc.

•  If you are gonna use it for commercial purposes you must tell me at the beginning, as it will imply additional cost to the base price.

•  I usually submit the finished pieces to my gallery, but you can request me to abstain of doing so in advance.

• If you have any other doubts, you can send me a note or comment. 

 

 

 

Note, a painting is going to have imperfections, little details that are off. This is the nature of a painting, and the hidden beauty of it. This being said, a portrait is going to not be an exact copy.  Life is beautiful because of the flaws, not in spite of them.
