What is a commissioned painting? As a trained theater painter, I dedicate myself to answering this question and explaining what a commissioned painting is.

What is a commissioned painting?

A commissioned painting is a work that is commissioned by a client. The commissioned painting is realized according to the client's ideas, the artistic execution is carried out by the commissioned painter.

For example, the painterly realization of a picture based on a template, the application of a decorative ornament in a stairwell or the design of a facade with a mural. You can find some pictures here: Commissioned painting references

Using a variety of materials such as oil paints, acrylic paints or watercolors, the commissioned painter can offer the client a wide range of painting possibilities:

  • Interior and exterior design such as wall and ceiling painting in stairwells and on house facades
  • Illusion paintings, material imitations, e.g. marble, wood, concrete, ornamental bands, coffered paintings, plinths
  • Murals with landscapes in trompe l'oil
  • Advertising posters, signs, wall and font logos
  • Commissioned paintings based on models of buildings, rooms, landscapes, people, animals and objects
  • Painted stage, film and trade fair decorations
  • The reproduction and reinvention of paintings

Many years of experience, spatial imagination and a confident handling of materials are of central importance in commissioned painting. Traditional painting techniques offer the ideal prerequisites for authentically realizing old masters, modern oil and acrylic paintings or art-historically relevant paintings such as Renaissance or Baroque paintings to a very high standard.
