Reference Materials

Commissions can be created from:

  • Your own photographs (multiple angles and high quality preferred)

Creation and Updates

Throughout the artistic process, Robyn provides:

  • Progress photos via text message

  • A collaborative experience from concept to completion


Practical Details

Timeframe

Standard completion time is approximately two weeks, depending on:

  • Time of year (busier periods may require more lead time)
  • Complexity of the piece

For holiday gifts, especially Christmas commissions, early bookings are strongly recommended as the spring to December period tends to fill quickly.

  • Small intimate pieces
  • Medium formats for easy display
  • Large statement pieces up to A1 size


Delivery Options

Completed commissions can be:

  • Hand-delivered personally by Robyn (for local clients)

Pricing Information

Commission pricing is customised based on several factors:

  • Size of the artwork
  • Materials used
  • Complexity of the subject
  • Framing requirements (if applicable)
  • Delivery/shipping needs


Each commission is quoted individually to ensure fair pricing for your specific project.

Questions to Consider Before Commissioning

Taking some time to reflect on these questions will help Robyn create the perfect artwork for you:

  • What is the story behind this subject? Consider why this particular animal, pet, person, or object is meaningful to you.
  • How do you want to feel when you look at this artwork? Think about the emotions or memories you'd like the piece to evoke.
  • Where will the artwork be displayed? Consider the wall colour, lighting, and surrounding décor where the piece will hang.
  • What size would work best for your space? Measure the area where you plan to display the artwork.
  • Is this a gift? If so, what is your timeline and what would make it especially meaningful to the recipient?
  • Do you have specific style preferences? Consider whether you prefer a realistic approach or something more stylised.
  • What details or elements are most important to capture? For pet portraits, this might be a specific expression or pose.
  • Do you have a preference for background treatment? Simple and minimal or detailed environmental setting?
