Corey Barksdale accepts a limited number of commissions each month! Commissions are open for this year. Get in touch for more details @ 615-601-27872!
WHY CREATE A MURAL? The benefits of murals are plentiful: not only do they beautify and enhance the urban environment, they deter costly tagging, foster community partnerships and pride, and can even boost the local economy. Above all, they’re fun!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1: THE EMAIL/INITIAL DETAILS EMAIL me @ clow2ground@gmail.com . Have a price range in mind, and using that I will give you options for your commission based on the following specifications: Substrate material: Stretched canvas (for acrylic & mixed media projects)? Stretched masonite board (for acrylic & mixed media & oil painting projects)?
Size Corey usually work with large scale canvas sizes ie. 3'x4' or 5'x10' or 10'x10' and large scale wall murals.
Have Aesthetics in mind: Corey's paintings are combinations of colorful, flowing lines that seem to dance and move across the canvas. In considering Corey for a commissioned painting understand that he used a colorful and vivid palette.
Step 2: THE PROCESS He usually ask for the meaning or concept behind the work that you want created. When you make a request, summarize your request in the title and please provide any reference materials that you have. These things give Corey layers of meaning to work from and help him to create work that is more personal and has a deeper meaning relating to your project. Based on Corey's style and creative process he will take the provided info and make stylistic and aesthetic choices to bring your idea to reality. A sketch will be created to represent the proposed creative concept.
Corey will send you an invoice for the deposit - 50% of the total. When this has been paid he will get you on the calendar and give you an estimated timeline. He can only take a limited number of commission orders a month so be sure to contact me for an estimated start date if you have firm deadlines.
Step 3: The painting. Corey will work on the piece for up to 8 weeks. Upon completion I will send you photos of your painting once it is completed.
PAYMENT An email invoice that you can pay online via Paypal will be forwarded to you. A 50% deposit will be due upon agreement, and the final 50% payment will be due after approval, before painting is shipped or picked up.
SHIPPING Shipping will be billed upon receipt via online invoice, or you are welcome to pick up the painting if you are local.
