Step 1: Initial Contact

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a custom art piece from me! The first step is to get in touch. You can reach me by filling out the contact form on the Contact page or by sending an email to art@kristinawieshofer.com. Please provide a brief description of the artwork you have in mind, including any specific themes, subjects, or styles you prefer.

Step 2: Requirements and Discussion

Once I receive your initial contact, I will get back to you to discuss your requirements in more detail. We can have a conversation via email, phone, or even schedule a meeting if it's feasible. This is the stage where we will go over the specifics of your commission, such as dimensions, materials, colors, and any other important details. Don't hesitate to share reference images or examples to help me understand your vision better.

Step 3: Cost Estimate

Based on our discussion, I will provide you with a cost estimate for the commissioned artwork. The price will depend on factors such as the complexity of the piece, size, materials used, and the estimated time required to complete it. I strive to offer fair and transparent pricing, ensuring that both parties are satisfied with the agreement.

Step 4: Agreement and Deposit

If you decide to move forward with the commission, we will formalize our agreement. I will prepare a commission contract that outlines the details we discussed, including the agreed-upon price, timeline, and any specific terms or conditions. To secure your commission slot, a deposit of 30% is required. This deposit ensures commitment from both parties and covers any initial costs for materials or preparation.

Step 5: Work in Progress Updates

During the creation process, I will provide you with regular updates on the progress of your commissioned artwork. This may include work-in-progress photos, sketches, or digital mock-ups, depending on the nature of the piece. Your feedback and input are highly valued, and I encourage open communication throughout the creative journey.

Step 6: Final Approval and Payment

Once the artwork is near completion, I will share the final piece with you for your review and approval. At this stage, you will have the opportunity to request any minor adjustments or changes, ensuring that the artwork meets your expectations. Once you are satisfied with the final result, the remaining balance will be due before shipping or delivery.

Step 7: Shipping or Delivery

After receiving the full payment, I will carefully package the artwork to ensure its safe transportation. If you are located within Vienna and nearby, I can arrange a personal delivery. For customers outside of Vienna, I will utilize a trusted shipping service to send the artwork to you. Shipping fees and insurance (if desired) will be included in the final payment.

Step 8: Enjoy Your Custom Artwork

Congratulations! You now have a unique, custom-made artwork created exclusively for you. Find the perfect spot to display it and enjoy the beauty and creativity it adds to your space. Remember to share photos on social media and tag me, as I would love to see how the artwork looks in its new home.
