have you had a vision for a piece of art you'd love to hang in your home or gift to a friend? Then you are in the right place! commissioning a personalized painting or illustrated piece of art by jules is the best way to bring your vision to life and procure something that is absolutely original & one of a kind.
Commissions
Has your wedding past but you want a painted represenation of your favorite scene? No worries! Jules can work from professional photos of your big day to create a beautiful painted representation of your desired scene in her style. She can even add elements, people and pets that weren't present!
This is true for any portrait style photo you'd like captured as a painting, from family photos to single person portraits.
Painting from Pictures
A commissioned piece of art starts with the client's vision, any applicable reference photos, and an in depth Discovery Call with Jules to work out the details. This inlcudes choosing a medium, acrylic, oil paint or even digital, choosing a canvas or print size, and discussing all of the details you want included. If you are unsure what you want, this Discovery Call will be a great opportunity to bring a vision to life with Jules' guidance!
Once the vision has been set, Jules will get to work on your piece. Please note that commissions are worked on in the order they are received, and based on Jules' project load they could take a few months to finish. If your commission is a gift or you are hoping to receive the final piece by a certain date, plan as many months in advance as possible.
Please see Commission Considerations below to help you decide your desired mediums.

How does it work?
Oil Paint is the best medium for rich colors and a timeless, classic look. It was used by the Old Masters after all! Oil paint translates beautifully for landscape and portrait paintings alike and will have a beautiful glossy finish. Oil paint can take weeks to dry, please consider this in your timeline.
Commission Considerations
Desired Medium
Below are some considerations to take into account for your commission
Acrylic paint is a quick drying medium and can be completely dry in a matter of minutes, which is why it is ideal for Live Painting. But it is also an excellent option for commissioned work! I use only the highest quality acrylic paint to achieve a similar richness that oil paint brings.
Mixed Media
Mixed Media brings together multiple mediums to create a painting with extraordinary depth and layers. This could be the use of anything from acrylics, oils, pastels, print, gold leaf, clay and so much more! Creativity can really blossom in this option!
Oil Paint
Acrylic Paint
Digital illustrations are a great option for those looking for more of a design theme for wall art or are wanting a sweet family or pet portrait at a lower cost. I work in a program called Procreate to produce High Resolution illustrated works. I illustrate children's books as well! If this interests you, please be sure to specify in the commissions inquiry form!
Digital Illustration
Artwork size
One of the most exciting parts of envisioning a commission is choosing a size! The world is your oyster (as long as you have the wall space!). If you need help envisioning the right size for your space, I recommend using blue painter's tape to tape out the space you'd like to fill and then measuring that. Jules will be happy to give recommendations as well.
From a small gift, to a large masterpiece, lets make it happen!

She was sweet and easy to communicate with, and her set-up was A simple and charming form of entertainment. eagles flew over our heads during the ceremony, a special detail that was unable to be captured in the photos.
