HOW TO GET STARTED

Four steps to commissioning your custom painting

CONTACT ME

Get in touch! I’m always happy to discuss a potential project, whether or not a painting comes of it. I want to answer any questions that you may have, and I want you to feel confident and excited about planning your custom painting. You can reach me at nicole@nicolereader.com

CHOOSE A PHOTO

Find out how to choose a great photo! If you have a special image in mind, go ahead and email it to me. If you have several different photos, I would love to see them all! In general, candid or action shots work best for my style, but you can get more suggestions about choosing a source photo at this link.

LOOK AT MY WORK

Look through my portfolio and let me know which paintings, styles, and sizes you especially like. On the individual page for each painting you can find a price range. Also, you can read more about cost factors at this link. Working with your preferences and budget, I can create a painting from your photograph.

WORK TOGETHER

Let's work together! After we finalize plans for your project, we sign an agreement, and once I receive a 50% down payment, I begin work. Then the fun starts! I will send you photos of the work in progress so you can make comments. Finally, after you approve the final painting, the remaining 50% is due.
