Watch your painting come to life

Throughout the creation of your painting, I'll be sending you photos and time-lapse videos every time I work on your custom piece until its completion.

Step 1: Order a Digital Mockup

$120 per painting with Unlimited Edits

  • Think of this as the necessary first step toward the creation of your custom oil painting.

  • After mockup payment is received, Alex will personally contact you to discuss your vision for the painting and begin the design process once reference photos are provided.

Step 2: Send Reference Photos

Send to alex@ledermanart.com

  • Reference photos may be sent via email, Dropbox, Google Drive, or any file-sharing platform that is most convenient for you.

  • Alex designs a custom digital mockup painting based on your photos and preferences. The mockup is edited and refined until it reaches a point where you are happy with the final design.

Important Things to Consider

There's no such thing as sending too many photos!

  • Multiple angles, expressions, and lighting conditions are extremely helpful in the design process.

  • Choose photos that show personality, form, and unique details

  • Professional photography is preferred, but high-quality cellphone photos are welcome.

Consider your design preferences

  • Monochrome or Full Color (Chroma) painting
  • Any metallic or gold leaf details
  • Favorite colors
  • Least favorite colors
  • Where the painting will be displayed

Step 3: Receive your Digital Mockup

Timeline

  • 1-3 weeks is needed to complete your digital mockup

  • Alex will remain in contact with you throughout the design process with updates until you approve the final mockup design.

Step 4: Discuss Price & Contract

If you choose to proceed with a custom painting

  • We will discuss the final painting size and price (listed below).

  • Creating your painting will begin after contract is signed and first payment is received.

  • Optional custom frame will be charged after painting is complete (in addition to your final payment).

Material Details

  • Paintings can be any size but no smaller than 4" x 4".

  • Painted on wood panels with cradled 1.5" edges and an installed hanging wire (unless specified otherwise).

Painting Timeline

  • At least 3-6 months needed for creating your painting & allowing it enough time to dry before archival varnish is applied then shipped to you.
