Commissions

Commission an original Australian abstract painting

Custom artwork by

Lucy Bauld Art

A commission with me starts with a conversation, not a brief. Tell me the space, the feeling you want the room to hold, and as much or as little detail as you like about colour. I'll take it from there. Every piece is built the way water moves: layered, textured, and finished so it catches the light differently through the day. Your painting will keep changing long after it's on your wall.

Step 1:

Tell me everything about your dream custom artwork. I've outlined everything I need in this easy form - simply fill out the Commission Request form to get started

Step 2:

Leave it to me, I will use all the information you provided in your Commission Application and write a Commission Proposal for you. This includes your custom colour palette, size options, price, delivery timeline and all other details. I will email this to you in a couple of days.

Step 3: 

You review the proposal, we revise any changes and once it's signed I will send you an invoice to pay a 50% deposit which I use to order your custom canvas, frame and any other supplies I need to create your perfect painting.

Step 4:

I start your painting! I will send you updates as I go and images for you to approve once the painting is finished. I am always happy to revise any areas you are not 100% in love with. I want you to absolutely adore this artwork. 

Once you have approved the painting, I let it fully dry before I varnish it and package it ready to be shipped to your doorstep. The whole painting process takes 3-4 weeks but varies depending on the size of the painting.

Once your painting arrives, you hang it on your wall and love looking at it all the time! Also, send me a photo, I always love to my paintings in their forever homes!

FAQ

How much does a custom painting cost?

The cost of a painting is dependent on its size and if its framed or not. As a guide, some of my most common canvas sizes and 2026 commission prices are listed below (prices include timber framing).

20x20cm: $330

30x30cm: $420

60x60cm: $860

100x100cm: $1900

120x150cm: $3250

Please note, commissioned paintings can be made to any size as the canvas will be custom ordered from my framers.

What if I don't know what I want exactly?

That's what I'm here for! I can help create your perfect colour palette, figure out what size will work best in your space and with your budget and anything else that your custom piece needs. Start by filling out the commission application form and I we can go from there.

Can I give you images to use as inspiration?

Yes! Please do. One of my favourite parts of painting commissioned pieces is using your photos for inspiration for the paintings composition. It's totally not necessary but it's definitely a lovely touch to make even more personalised for you.

When will my painting arrive?

I will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

What about framing my painting?

I get all my frames made in Victoria from sustainable plantation timber. Framing your artwork is totally optional but if you choose to have it frames, you can choose the timber colour and I organise the rest. It will arrive beautifully frames, ready to hang.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
