Commissions
How it works
-
Timeline
- Enquire with plenty of time to allow for discussion, creation, and delivery of commission
- Please allow 3 weeks minimum for creating the commission
- Anything needed quicker will have a rush fee added
- Each is bespoke and an estimate
-
Size & Medium
- Let me know what medium and size you want
- My usual is 21x30cm gouache paintings, but I am open to new ideas and you have in mind
- If any of my work resonates with you this can be a helpful starting point for the commission
-
Pricing
- The quote I give is informed by the size, medium, and complexity
- Less detail means less time spent painting, which makes it cheaper
- Additional charges are to be expected for alterations or rushes
- The fee is paid in two parts, half at the beginning and half at the end

I don't tend to paint faces, but I love capturing hands in the middle of doing something!

Bespoke marketing in either physical form or to post on social media for your event / workshop / etc!
I like to work illustratively to make the marketing fun and visually eye-catching for your event!
INTERIORS & STILL LIVES

Hands & Coffee
“I had been searching for a thoughtful gift for a friend for quite some time, but nothing felt quite right. With only five days before her birthday, I reached out to Lina — and she was incredible. After just three short messages about what I wanted, she came back with a few beautiful options and ultimately created the most intimate, meaningful painting. My friend was so moved that she even shed a tear when she saw it. Lina was a joy to work with — quick, attentive, and thorough — making the whole process smooth and personal. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“I met Lina selling cards at an art market and was impressed by her style so I asked for a custom piece. She had a sketch right away, was sensitive to my price range. She finished the work extremely quickly, and it went well above my hopes for how good it would be. I've seen several pet portraits that badly miss the mark, and I was so pleased to see my cats so faithfully captured. She was easy to contact and coordinate with for pickup. Everything went so smoothly and I'm so happy I decided to commission her.”
