What should I do if I do not like my Pet Portrait?
I have no idea!
I have no Idea… this has never happened to me! All of my clients are thrilled. Here is why it won’t happen to you either. There is a lot of apprehension when ordering a piece of commissioned artwork, you are paying money up front and are being guaranteed a portrayal that is both accurate and beautiful. Simply put, your research into, and the choice of your artist should guarantee this thrilling happy end for your commission experience.
If you put the time into choosing the right product, and the right artist then you should always be surprised in the good way upon receiving your Pet Portrait and not the other way around.
Make it a good surprise!
To help insure this thrilling result here are some talking points to discuss with your artist face to face BEFORE you give him or her any money:
Ask for references, just a phone number or two and give the people a call, every one of my former clients would love to discuss how happy they are with my work and how easy it was to work with me. All good commission artists should be able to say the same thing.
Ask about the refund policy if you are not completely satisfied, is that first payment you made up front refundable?
You are partially responsible as well!
Make absolutely sure your artist is using a specific photo for reference material, which should be decided and agreed upon by both of you preferable together. You need to know the exact image which will be portrayed, and any changes in that image should be written down in the commission agreement. Both YOU and the ARTIST need to be on the same page. Also along these lines the compositional aspects of the piece must be discussed and agreed to as well. You as the client are responsible for some of these factors. The artist needs to know what you want. . The key is both you and your artist have to be very clear with each other about what is expected as a final result.
I Can’t even imagine this but…
If after doing everything above, you just do not like your Portrait then you should not have to pay for it. You should at least get the majority of your deposit back, minus the cost of the materials used, and no more monies need to be paid. I am sure if it came to this the artist will know if a good job was done or not.
