🎨 Art Commissions Policy

Custom Paintings by Karen C. Williams

I love creating custom paintings that hold personal meaning for my collectors. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, please review my commission policy below.

Deposit & Payment

• A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total price is required to begin your commission.

• This deposit secures your place in my schedule and covers materials, planning, and creative time.

• The remaining balance is due once the final painting is approved by you.

Reference Materials & Color Preferences

• Please provide clear reference photos of the subject or concept you would like painted.

• Include, in writing, any specific colors you wish to include—or exclude—in your painting.

• Once we’ve discussed the composition, I’ll provide an initial concept for your approval before painting begins.

Timeline

• Custom paintings generally require up to 8 weeks for completion, depending on size and complexity.

• I’ll keep you updated throughout the process and notify you when your painting is ready for final approval.

Revisions

• One round of minor changes is included in the commission price.

• Additional revisions may be subject to extra charges based on the scope of the change.

Final Approval & Ownership

• Once you approve the finished painting and pay the balance, the artwork is yours to enjoy.

• If you decide not to purchase the completed piece, you are not required to pay the remaining balance. I will retain the non-refundable deposit, and the artwork will remain my property and may be offered for sale in my collection.

Shipping

• If shipping is required, the client is responsible for all shipping and insurance costs.

Refunds

• All sales are final. Once a commissioned painting has been approved and paid for in full, no refunds or returns are accepted.
