How to Commission an Original Wildlife Art Painting by Jason Morgan

Thinking of commissioning a wildlife painting? -
Then this is the page for you.
Most of my original paintings now sell before or shortly after completion, so if you would like to own one of my originals then your best option is to commission a painting especially for you (I only complete 10 - 12 originals per year).

It all starts with a simple email I try to make the whole process as simple and enjoyable as possible, and it generally all starts by a prospective customer emailing me with an idea in their mind of a painting they would love to own.

(I have access to literally thousands of images to work from, particularly African and American wildlife, big cats and Gorillas, but also lots more).

Ideas are shared and a plan develops
Once I have an idea of the planned painting then I research my images and piece together a possible composition. I contact the customer and we generally have a chat and swap more ideas until we come to a decision.

 

The Painting beginsWhen I have the final plan I can start the painting in earnest, (this is where the real fun begins) and quite often I share the development of the painting with the customer by sending emails or posting images on my site. A small Non-Refundable charge is required before the painting begins, this covers expenses for my research time etc up to this point.

 

Commission Approval - worry free When the painting is finished it's time for the customer to see and approve it. Over the years I have come up with the following approval process which I think is very fair -

*When the painting is finished the customer pays for it in full.

*Immediately after the payment has cleared I send the original to the customer for viewing in the comfort of their own home.

*If for whatever reason the painting does not come up to the customers expectations it can be returned within 14 days for a full refund (minus shipping costs and return costs).
