Earlier this summer I was commissioned by a friend to produce an original piece of artwork. This presentation explains the process I have been through. A lot of our communication has been either verbal or through relaxed forms of communication like text message and Facebook but I have tried to record the process the best I can.
When the piece was completed I attached it to the mount she had provided me with and delivered it to her in person. She was thrilled with it which is obviously great for me to see. She also sent me a message a few days later to say she had shown her mum and she was really impressed with it too and they are going to get it framed very soon.
Obviously because my client here was a very close friend of mine, I have handled things very differently to how I would have done in a more professional set up. I still feel I have conducted myself in a professional manner by sticking to deadlines and but contact between us has been very informal and as there is a strong trust between us, I have been more relaxed about when I receive the payment for it. This has been a really positive experience for me and I feel the process has been quite straight forward and relaxed, this is probably because I know who I am dealing with and I had plenty of time to get the required work completed. I've just got to wait until November now to see if her dad likes it!
