How to Take Art Commissions (Part 3): Beginner's Guide 2024
My WORST moments working on art commissions taught me some pretty great lessons like:
1. Client communication is key!
2. Learn to speak your client's language
3. Check the source photo before you say yes
4. Use digital mockups instead of sketching it all out (I use Canva)
5. Spend the most time on what's most important to them
6. Set clear expectations for how much, when, and how you will be paid $$

Set up your first art commission so that you actually GET PAID... These are my best tips for workflow, client contracts, and pricing. The subject of money feels dicey for a lot of artists because it’s our passion we’re taking about, and it’s (most likely) our friends or family that we’re talking TO. I'll show you how to make it all WAYYYYY less awkward using a simple process/flow that keep boun...

    Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a CZcams video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. Are you interested in this?

  • @kimberleewixom5112
    @kimberleewixom5112 Před měsícem

    Really great video! Lots of great tips. I needed to hear this. My last commission was a nightmare. I knew it was my fault because I didn't give the client clear guidelines on expectations.

    • @danicatheartist

    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Another great project. Even though I knew it was coming, I cringed a bit with that first tear you made. I wanna make this for a ladies night... I love in your colored version how you swapped a piece out for some patterned paper.

    • @danicatheartist

    What a symbolic project

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Once again you've nailed the discussion/teaching part! I find it interesting how you talked through your "noticing" process. Also, I love how the grief side became part of you in the hair. It brings a balance to your profile (like in the color wheel exercise) . Also, interesting that this side has hair and the other doesn't because it caused me to envision you and your dad looking at each other, maybe having a conversation. This is a great project, thank you for sharing it.

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      Ooh I love that interpretation! Yes, it's so important to bring fresh curiosity to old familiar emotions. Art helps us do that just like speaking to an old friend.

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Love your intro with color sample prompts! Do you feel like this square...what about all these other ones. The visual is powerful.

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      Yes! Thank you! Now you can talk in color too ;)

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Terrific discussion about the differences between healthy grief (memorializing) and getting stuck in it (idolizing). side note...."goo gone" is awesome for getting sticker off surfaces ;)

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      I’m so glad it was helpful! I’ve needed that discussion myself. And hey that’s a good recommendation. 😅

  • @hopeandhealingathome

    Love how you described winter "everything is spoken in whispers" and that your friend zoomed in on the dirt commenting that the "beauty is in the hidden places."

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Oh wow, that's so awesome how Motoi involves his audience in the process and gives them an opportunity to engage in grief and release... Very nice process you shared here :)

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks so much! His work is very inspiring to me.

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    I really liked how you summarized Frida's pain, art and life, and your struggles with Bible teachings. God is so good at revealing more as we go deeper with Him and facing the hard, painful things in life.

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      Right?! I feel like When Bible/faith is used as a bandaid it’s usually out of fear that people will abandon their commitment.

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      But really if we allow ourselves and others time to process and press into the pain, they can feel free to bring it to God in their own time. He can handle it!

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    You’re so honest in your processing and I think its a great example for others…this is how we all get better at being vulnerable and safe and better at supporting each other through the dark days instead of all wearing masks for safety. It’s ok to wrestle with it all…beliefs, identity, etc. YES! wonderful job in processing the layers of your painting and how you released the grief in the art. Bravo! (I love that painting of the 2 girls-colorful paint drips and arms raised up) (oh and that painting of the girl in the eyeball)

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks so much for the encouragement! I’ve found that my vulnerability allows space for others too. It’s a cool cycle of healing and it’s an honor to be a part of it:)

  • @hopeandhealingathome
    @hopeandhealingathome Před 3 měsíci

    Great parallel to life and grief! It’s so fun to have the tiny pieces…not only are you starting but also quickly finishing which builds the confidence and courage to try something new :) (What a cute cat tape dispenser) I wanna go create right now!

    • @danicatheartist
      @danicatheartist Před 3 měsíci
