Commissioning Jasu: What to Know Before You Ask

2016 2019 Sample (8) - Commissions

I get a lot of lovely commission requests, and I want every one of them to turn into a piece the person genuinely loves. Here’s what helps me get there faster:

Think about these five things first

  • Budget – sharing a rough number helps me suggest the right size and technique for you.
  • Size – this is one of the biggest factors in price and timeline.
  • Subject – what do you want included? You can leave some of it up to me, but flag anything essential.
  • Technique – watercolor, pencil, colored pencil, marker, or digital – each has its own feel.
  • Reference photos – the sharper and larger, the better the result.

And if you’re able to give me a little creative freedom within your brief, it usually leads to a more natural, alive final piece – while still landing exactly what you wanted.

Rough pricing

Every commission is priced individually, but as a starting point: a lightly-detailed A4 watercolor starts around 150€, while a highly-detailed A1 piece runs closer to 1600€. Full breakdown is on the Services & Pricing page.

Half the price is due before I start, and frames aren’t included. Ready to talk through an idea? Start your commission here.
