There are a few aspects of commissions we discuss this week on the Self Taught Artist podcast:

  1. Why commissions are so hard
  2. As an artist or painter, when is the right time to start accepting commissions?
  3. How to choose when to say yes or no to a commission opportunity
  4. How to reduce pressure when you're doing a commission
  5. How to price commissions and how I price my artwork

For any artist or painter who is considering taking on commissions, this podcast is for you! I've started taking commissions very recently and this week I'm talking about some of my considerations and the challenges I've gone through. I tell the story of the big commission I'm working on right now, how it came to be, and how it's going.
