Commission an Original Watercolor Painting

Commission pricing depends on size, complexity, and subject matter. Small works (8 × 10 inches) start at $100, medium works (11 × 15 inches) range from $150–250, and large works (15 × 22 inches) range from $250–500+. A detailed quote is provided after reviewing your brief — no obligation to proceed.

Most commissions are completed within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on size, complexity, and my current workload. I will provide an estimated timeline in your quote and share progress updates throughout the process.

Yes. I ship worldwide from Kolkata, India. Shipping is free on all commissions. Paintings are carefully packed using acid-free tissue, rigid backing, and reinforced packaging to ensure they arrive safely.

Absolutely. A reference photograph is the most helpful starting point. The painting will interpret your photo artistically — it will not be a mechanical copy, but a watercolor response to the subject. I will share a sketch for your approval before painting begins.

I offer three standard size ranges: Small (up to 8 × 10 inches), Medium (11 × 15 inches), and Large (15 × 22 inches). Custom dimensions within these ranges are also possible. If you are unsure, I can recommend a size based on your space and subject.

Commissions are shipped unframed, as framing preferences are deeply personal and the cost of international frame shipping is prohibitive. I recommend having your commission framed locally by a professional framer using UV-protective glass and acid-free archival mats for preservation.

I accept payments via PayPal (international) and Razorpay (India). Payment is processed securely upon confirmation of the commission brief and sketch approval.

Revisions are welcome during the sketch stage, before painting begins. Once the brush touches paper, major compositional changes are not possible — but I do share progress photos and remain in communication throughout the process to ensure the final work meets your expectations.

I take every care to ensure the painting matches the approved sketch and brief. If there is a genuine issue with quality or fidelity to the agreed brief, I will work with you to make it right. Because each commission is a custom piece, standard return policies for commissioned artwork differ from those for available originals.
