How to Commission a Painting: Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction
Commissioning a painting isn’t just about owning art, it’s about shaping something that would never exist without you. A custom artwork has emotional weight, cultural power, and a sense of luxury that no mass-produced piece can ever match.
My name is Asko Art, and I create high-end commissioned paintings and murals for private collectors, restaurants, homes, hotels, gyms and corporate spaces across Europe.
If you’ve been thinking about investing in a custom painting, here is the exact process.. simple, personal, and unforgettable.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1 — Vision & Concept Conversation
We start with your idea.
This can be a story, a memory, a feeling, or a photograph.
Step 2 — Size, Medium & Finish
Once the idea is clear, we decide format.
Canvas or mural.
Large or intimate.
Minimal or bold.
Gold leaf. Stencil work. Spray techniques.
Everything becomes tailored to your space and identity.
Step 3 — Quotation & Timeline
When all artistic decisions are aligned, you receive a full quotation including:
price
timeframe
delivery
installation (if mural)
Transparent, professional, premium.
Step 4 — Concept Approval
Before I touch the canvas, you receive a sketch or digital mock-up, your visual preview.
When you approve it, creation begins.
Step 5 — Creation of the Painting
This is where things become alive.
Layers build. Textures appear. Colors explode.
Each brushstroke is intentional.. bold, emotional, powerful.
Clients often say that seeing photos of the progress is as exciting as receiving the final piece.
Step 6 — Delivery & Installation
Your painting arrives professionally packaged or installed directly onto your wall, if we’re creating a mural.
This moment transforms a room instantly.
