1. Choose Your Photo

Tips for Selecting the Best Image for Commission Pieces:

  • Choose a high-res photo with optimal lighting and clear details.
  • Make sure faces or important features are not blurry or in shadow.
  • Avoid overly cropped images — the more context, the better for artistic interpretation.

2. Consider Your Vision for Commission Piece

Here Are Some Possible Customizations You Might Consider:

  • Accuracy: How closely the painting should resemble the photo.
  • Background Style: Would you like to keep it the same as the photo or choose your own?
  • Canvas Size: e.g. 11″ x 14″
  • Canvas Type: Stretched or flat.
  • Color Adjustments: Optional edits (e.g., “softer tones,” “vintage look,” etc.)

Take notes on a pad of paper or in your smartphone’s note-taking app so that they are readily available at the time of your photo submission.

3. Submit Your Photo

Although not a commission piece, this is a wonderful example of Trese's talent in painting when she uses a photo as a frame of reference.
