Commission Process
1. Creative Brief of commission is established. This step includes subject matter, approximate size of painting, color choices etc. Clients may submit images of the space where the painting will be displayed as well as reference images of cars, races etc.
2. Commission proposal is issued to the client. Commission proposal includes pricing quote, canvas size and delivery estimate.
3. Payment*. This starts the official design phase of the commission. During the design phase, the client’s input is taken into consideration to create the final sketch. Input may cover but is not limited to: Overall composition, angle of car, type treatment, colors and format. There is no limit to the number of revisions. The goal is to create a final sketch that meets the satisfaction of the client.
*Payment typically consists of 100% of commission proposal, excluding delivery cost. For very large commissions, a payment plan may be agreed upon. Should a commission require a custom built canvas, the payment also triggers the canvas order with the canvas manufacturer.
4. Client approves final sketch.
5. Final sketch will serve as a guideline to create the original painting. If so interested, client may receive pictures of the painting process
6. Upon completion, the painting will be photographed for the Hunziker archives and will then be prepared for shipping. We can arrange for worldwide shipping and work with various reputable art shipping crating / delivery companies.
7. Shipping invoice is issued to client. Upon receipt of payment, the painting will be crated and shipped to the client.
Note:
The main indicator of commission pricing is the time that is required to complete the original painting. As a general rule, medium-sized (3 ft. x 5 ft.) and simple paintings take the least amount of time to complete. Smaller pieces (less than 2 ft. ) and very large pieces (over 6 ft.) are more time intensive. Large rectangular paintings take less time to complete than large square paintings.
Intellectual Property rights of paintings remain with Nicolas Hunziker Automotive Fine Art unless specified otherwise.
All payments are non-refundable.
