GETTING STARTED WITH COMMISSIONS

WHAT IF YOU COULD HAVE PEOPLE BUY YOUR ART BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN MADE IT?

BEING THE OBVIOUS CHOICE ON YOUR CLIENT'S SHORTLIST OF ARTISTS
KNOWING YOU HAVE A STEADY INCOME IN THE MONTHS AHEAD
CLIENTS COMING TO YOU READY TO COMMISSION YOU WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER A TRICKY SALES CONVERSATION
WORKING WITH INTERIOR SPECIALISTS TO CREATE BESPOKE ARTWORK FOR THEIR PROJECTS
FEELING SAFE IN YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS KNOWING YOU ARE COVERED BY CONTRACT

Imagine

IF THAT'S NOT YOUR REALITY JUST YET, LET ME KNOW IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR:

YOU SEE ARTISTS WITH REGULAR INCOME AND WONDER HOW THEY DO IT
YOU'VE BEEN ASKED FOR BESPOKE ARTWORK BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE THE DETAILS
YOU ARE STRESSED OUT THAT YOUR CLIENT WON'T LIKE THE FINAL ARTWORK, AND IT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF PRESSURE
YOU ARE WORRIED CLIENTS WON'T PAY FOR THE ARTWORK AFTER ALL THE HOURS YOU HAVE PUT IN
THE IDEA OF WORKING TO A CLIENT'S DEADLINE STRESSES YOU OUT

DON'T WORRY, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.

WHETHER YOU'RE AN ESTABLISHED ARTIST OR NEW TO THE SCENE, YOU CAN ADD COMMISSIONED ARTWORK TO YOUR OFFERING, CREATE A NEW REVENUE STREAM, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL-CONSUMING OR KEEP YOU AWAY FROM YOUR OWN PRACTICE.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY GITA JOSHI AND MONA LERCH CREATED THIS PROGRAM CALLED GETTING STARTED WITH COMMISSIONS.

SO ARE YOU READY TO ADD THAT NEW REVENUE TO YOUR ART BUSINESS?

THIS IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE COURSE FOR GETTING CLARITY AROUND YOUR OFFER AND AN ANXIETY-FREE COLLABORATION WITH YOUR CLIENTS.

GETTING STARTED WITH COMMISSIONS IS THE ONLY COURSE OF ITS KIND THAT TAKES YOU FROM CREATING YOUR COMMISSION OFFER AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL TO BOOKING CLIENTS, DRAFTING CONTRACTS AND DELIVERING YOUR ART TO ECSTATIC COLLECTORS.

I NEED THIS

BEFORE WE SHOW YOU WHAT'S INSIDE THIS TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHO THIS IS FOR:

YOU ARE A CREATIVE WHO LOVES SEEING YOUR WORK IN CLIENTS' HOMES, OFFICES AND BUSINESSES, WHO IS READY TO LET THE CLIENTS COME TO YOU, HAVING ALREADY DECIDED YOU'RE THE OBVIOUS (AND BEST) CHOICE.

THIS PROGRAM IS SUITABLE FOR VISUAL ARTISTS WORKING ACROSS ANY MEDIUM OR GENRE.

SPOILER ALERT - YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A PORTRAIT OR PET PORTRAIT PAINTER TO MAKE A BANK FROM BESPOKE ARTWORK!

WHETHER YOU ARE A VISUAL ARTIST WHO:

IS NOT CLEAR ABOUT YOUR COMMISSION OFFER YET
WANTS TO ADD ANOTHER INCOME STREAM TO YOUR PORTFOLIO
WANTS TO MAKE SURE YOUR CLIENTS UNDERSTAND YOUR PROCESS, TERMS AND COMMITMENT WHEN BOOKING A COMMISSION
WANTS TO OFFER BESPOKE ART BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO START OR HOW TO CONVEY THE OFFER TO BRING IN THE RIGHT CLIENTS (YOU'VE TRIED WRITING 'DM FOR COMMISSIONS' ON YOUR INSTA PROFILE AND JUST GOT SOME THUMBS-UP EMOJIS AND NO ACTUAL ENQUIRIES)

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

GETTING STARTED WITH COMMISSIONS WILL GIVE YOU THE TOOLS, CONFIDENCE AND DRIVE TO START OFFERING YOUR COMMISSIONED WORK, RAISING YOUR PROFESSIONALISM, AND HAVING AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS.

SO ARE YOU READY TO ADD THAT NEW REVENUE TO YOUR ART BUSINESS?

I'm not a painter, would this work for me?

This program is suitable for all types of art including photography, collage, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, digital, etc.

Is this program suitable for abstract artists?

Yes. This is suitable for abstract artists and figurative artists alike. Abstract art is often expressive, and frequently popular with interior stylists for their projects. The process of creating bespoke artwork on a commissioned basis, and marketing the offer remains the same and is taught in this program.

Is the content applicable to artists worldwide?

Yes. What you will learn inside this program is suitable for artists working in any location. It will help you set yourself up professionally, and as such draw in audiences for commissions in your home country or abroad.

What do I need to have before enrolling in this masterclass?

You'll need a good internet access as the program is delivered in video format with accompanying pdfs, which include worksheets, prompts and templates.

In the program, we mention software tools to support your commission offer. All the apps have a free version to get you started.

My art is a personal expression, can I offer commissions?

Yes, your art does not need to change. In this scenario, the person commissioning you would be resonating with your work already, and commissioning a bespoke piece.

I'm not based in London. Can I join this program?

This is an online self-paced program, and you can join from anywhere worldwide as long as you have good internet access.

How long will it take to go through the course material?

You can binge-watch or take your time to work through the seven modules. However, you can choose how much time you dedicate to the homework and apply it to your business.

You will have lifetime access to the program.
