Options for Design, Style, Size, Frame, and Exclusivity
Process & Subjects: The painting is created with a black ink drawing (if a graphic style is chosen), then layered with oil paint for subject details, coloring, and patterns chosen by the artist for composition, balance, and texture. The final layer (i.e. background) can be either paint or paper and collage, depending on the artist and client's collaborative choices.
Design Choices*: You can choose from existing designs or provide your own bird and foliage selections at checkout (a custom design fee applies). The number of choices is limited by the size of the painting.
Style Choices: Choose a graphic style (showing the initial line drawing) or a more painterly style.
Size Choices: Medium (up to 11×14), Large (up to 16×20), X-Large (up to 24×36). Exact sizes may depend on the availability of upcycled/vintage frames (if chosen) or your private frame (if selected).
Frame Choices: Opt for an Upcycled/Vintage frame from the artist’s collection, or provide one from YOUR OWN private collection**
Exclusivity: For an additional $300-600 design fee (depending on size), you can limit the design in the painting to an edition of 1 by choosing “Exclusive Rights” during checkout. Otherwise, Jennifer may use all or part of the design for up to 9 future paintings. The design fee covers the cost of creating the original linework used to guide the painting of the finished piece.
*The final design may be reused in future reverse glass paintings UNLESS you choose the EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS option. What is/isn’t included with exclusive rights? Jennifer Lommers LLC still retains the rights to the image, but the artist will not reuse it to make new original art.
**If you choose to send a frame to Jennifer, an address for delivery (or drop-off) will be provided via email after purchase. (Jennifer’s studio is located in Corvallis, Oregon, 97339, USA.) Feel free to contact Jennifer directly if you have not received this email.
The Commission Process
The customer will receive an email communicating commission expectations and confirming expected timeframes, subject matter, size, and framing.
The line drawing that will form the basis of the art will take about 2-3 weeks and will be sent to the customer for design approval. Modification requests are accepted at this time.
Once the drawing is approved, the painting will begin and take about 1-5 months, depending on the size and drying time of each layer of oil paint.
The final painting will be photographed and emailed to the customer before final payment and delivery/shipment. Any final concerns should be communicated at this time.
Due to the layers of oil paint applied during the art process, custom reverse glass paintings can take 6 weeks to 6 months to complete. As such, a limited number of commissions can be offered, and specific refund rules apply to this purchase. Commissions will be accepted starting January 1 until all availability is filled and will be worked in the order they were received. You will be contacted immediately after purchase with expected delivery times. A full refund can be processed at this time if the estimated delivery date does not meet expectations. If you choose the custom design option, a line drawing with the requested bird and floral elements will be sent for approval. Changes and/or color preferences can be discussed at that time. Refunds, less the custom design fee, can still be processed at this stage. Once a painting is started, deposit refunds are no longer available.
