Commission work
What is a commissioned painting?
A commissioned painting is a custom, original artwork that is made exclusively for you. Each piece is hand-painted and signed by me.
How can I help you?
I would be delighted to create a custom piece for you. My specialties are:
- Places: if there’s a special place that you would like to see in The Quiet Place Art style.
- Pets: if you need a pet portrait or would like to see a particular animal in The Quiet Place style.
- People: I can do people’s portraits using pencils.
Do not hesitate to contact me, even if your subject is not included in the three above.
How long will it take for the commission to be ready?
The turnaround time ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on my current workload and the details of the art piece.
What do you need to submit?
If you have an idea for a piece please contact me to discuss your vision and your needs. You can send me reference photos, inspirational works, colors, etc. I am flattered to receive any request, however I will only work on commissioned paintings that align with my vision and body of work.
How much does a commissioned painting cost?
The cost of a commission painting in Hong Kong depends on different factors. These range from the size of the piece, to the technique used; from whether the piece should include a frame or not, to its complexity.
To give you some ballpark estimates, I have created a table of examples:
| Size | Type | Frame | Price in HKD | Price in USD |
| A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) | 1 Person or Pet Portrait (pencil or watercolor) | Unframed | HK$2,000 | $250 |
| A4 (29,7 x 21 cm) | 1 Pet Portrait (watercolor, without background) | Unframed | HK$1,200 | $150 |
| A4 (29,7 x 21 cm) | 1 Person Portrait (pencil) | Framed | HK$2,000 | $200 |
| A5 (14.8 x 21 cm) | 1 Pet Portrait (watercolor, with background) | Unframed | HK$800 | $100 |
The best way to know how much a commission painting is going to cost is to request a quote! You can do so by sending me an email via laura@thequietplaceart.com. If you have a specific budget, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
