Oil on Canvas Commission Portraits
At Maui Wedding Art, I specialize in creating timeless, personalized Commission Portraits in oil on canvas that capture the essence of your loved ones, pets, or cherished memories. Whether it's a single portrait or a large family group, each piece is crafted with meticulous detail, emotion, and artistry to create a work of art you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Why Commission a Portrait?
A commissioned portrait is more than just a painting—it’s a way to preserve a moment in time, celebrate a special bond, or honor the personality of those closest to you. Whether you're marking a milestone, gifting someone you love, or creating a centerpiece for your home, a custom portrait brings warmth, emotion, and artistic expression into any space.

Commissioned Portraits Pricing
The cost of your commissioned portrait is primarily determined by the size of the canvas, with the flexibility to choose a larger canvas to fit your vision. You can include any number of subjects (people or pets), and larger canvases allow for more detail and greater visual impact.
​How It Works: The Commission Process
-
Initial Consultation
We’ll discuss your vision for the portrait, including the subjects, canvas size, and any specific details or elements you want included. If you have specific requests or meaningful items to add, now’s the time to share them! -
Reference Photos
High-resolution photos of the subjects will help me capture every detail. If you’re in Maui, we can arrange an in-person photo session to ensure the best possible reference for your painting. -
Deposit and Confirmation
A 50% deposit is required to secure your commission, with the balance due upon completion. This step reserves your spot in my schedule and confirms the painting timeline. -
Sketch Approval
I’ll create a preliminary sketch of the composition for your approval before starting the final painting. You’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback and suggest any adjustments. -
Creation Time
Depending on the complexity and size, the painting typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process. -
Final Approval and Delivery
Once the painting is completed, I’ll send you images for final approval. Upon your satisfaction, the finished portrait will be packaged with care and delivered to you, or it will be available for pickup.
Why Choose an Oil Portrait?
Oil paintings are known for their rich texture, depth, and longevity. When you commission an oil portrait, you’re investing in a work of art that not only captures the likeness of the subject but also conveys emotion and storytelling through every brushstroke. These timeless pieces are ideal for family heirlooms, gifts, or personal keepsakes.
Custom Options and Flexibility
No matter the occasion, the number of subjects, or the size of the canvas, your portrait can be tailored to your exact preferences. Whether you want a single portrait, a couple's portrait, or a large family group, you can choose a canvas size that fits your vision and space. I work closely with each client to ensure every detail is perfect.
