Maeve Asano
Whimsical Realist & Commissioned Portrait Artist
In 2023 I am slowing down my work until summer due to family circumstance. Please contact me if you would like to visit my studio outside of scheduled events which which will be very few for a while.
My pricing is simple and clear: it's based on the size and media. Feel free to inquire me anytime for consultation.
The basic rates are:
Oil on Canvas: $3.00 per sq in
Charcoal, ink, colour pencil on Paper: $2.50 per sq in
After I receive 50% of total commission fee as a non-refundable retainer, I create at least one small study based on consultation with my client.
After client's approval, I began creating the piece in actual scale.
During my creating process I report the progress as I go to ensure the final result. Once the client gives final approval, I ship or hand deliver the work upon payment of remaining balance plus shipping.
If you are considering oil painting for a commission, please make sure the desired deadline is at least 3 months away. For drawing, it generally takes unto one month depending on urgency of other ongoing projects.
