Commissions

NOTE: I am currently booked through mid-July on commissions. I drop new originals regularly, though - follow on Insta (@allisonlippart) for early access to new pieces!

 

Yes, I do commissions! This means I can create custom pieces for you based on specific needs or sizes.

Allison Lipp Art — Commission Guide 

Thank you for your interest in a commissioned artwork! My goal is to create a piece that fits beautifully in your home while staying true to my artistic voice and process. Commissioning a piece should feel easy, collaborative, and fun — here's how it works.

 

1. Choosing Your Piece

I work in modern abstract styles with a focus on color, shape, and movement. To help me understand your vision, I'll ask for:

  • A few pieces of mine you love
  • A general color palette (liked colors + any "no" colors)
  • A photo of the room or wall where you imagine it (optional)

 

2. Medium & Materials 

I work primarily with acrylic and oil paints/stick on stretched, gallery-wrapped canvas. I do offer floating natural wood frames! (I work with a local framer.)

Your overall piece will likely have a depth of around 1-2" depending on canvas and framing preferences.

3. Pricing Menu

These are my standard commission prices by size. They should be considered a starting point to give you an idea as to price, but please note all pieces are custom-priced (based on size, subject matter, etc.). Prices are subject to change. 

Size (Inches, Height x Length)
Price (without tax)

36 x 36 ~$1450 + $400 Free :) - $300
36 x 48 ~$2050 + $450 Free :) - $300
Other? Please inquire


 

  • Frames add a TON of finished beauty to your piece. I currently offer poplar wood frames, built locally. Inquire about other woods.
  • Local pickup encouraged (note discount).
  • Prices do not include sales tax - those will be calculated at checkout.


4. Deposit & Payment

To begin the piece: 25%* deposit (non-refundable) to reserve the commission. Remaining 75% due only if you love the finished piece. If the artwork isn't quite right, no pressure — I keep the piece and the deposit covers materials and time.

*For some custom and larger sizes, I require a 50% deposit. 

For payments, I will create an Etsy or Shopify custom listing and have you complete checkout through the platform. This just keeps things clean on my end for tax purposes :) All major credit cards accepted!

Most sizes will ship stretched - larger sizes may need to ship rolled. 


5. Creative Process & Check-Ins

To keep it fun and boundaried:

  • 1 palette/inspiration conversation
  • 1 optional mid-process photo update
  • 1 small final tweak if desired

My goal is a piece that reflects your home and my artistic voice — not a hyper-specific blueprint.

 

6. Timeline

Typical timeline is 4-6 weeks, plus extra for shipping. I'll share a personalized estimate at project start. 

 

7. Rights & Usage

You own the physical artwork. I retain rights to:

  • Photograph the piece
  • Use it in my portfolio
  • Create prints/reproductions

Exclusive rights are available for an additional fee.

 

8. Marketing Support (Optional but Appreciated!)

In exchange for the discounted rate, I ask for one or more of the following:

  • A photo of the piece in your home
  • A brief review on Etsy
  • Permission to talk about the sale on Instagram (I won't name you)

This helps me grow as an emerging artist — thank you.

 

9. Energy & Expectations

My commissions are intentionally low-stakes and enjoyable. Your job is simply to share your vision and react honestly; my job is to bring it to life in a way that feels like my work and enhances your home. If the finished piece isn't for you, the deposit ensures you don't feel obligated.


10. Pickup & Shipping

For local pickup: 

Buyer arranges pickup from my residence (Denver, CO: zip 80206) within 2 weeks of piece being completed. 

For shipping:

I will share a cost and timeline estimate at project start. Please allow 1-3 weeks for shipping, as I may need to order custom shipping supplies based on the size of your project. I aim to ship pieces stretched; larger/custom sizes may need to ship rolled.
