What Lily paints

The process

How a commission works

Everything is agreed in writing first: what will be painted, the size and materials, the price, revisions, timing and how the image may be used.

  1. Share your idea

    Send photos, the size you have in mind and any date that matters. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.

  2. Receive a written quote

    Lily confirms the scope, materials, price, number of revisions, timeline and delivery — and answers your questions.

  3. Confirm with a deposit

    Work begins once you accept the quote and pay the deposit it describes, which is credited to the final price.

  4. Watch it take shape

    You’ll see progress photos and can ask for the revisions agreed in your quote.

  5. Delivery

    After the balance is paid, the painting ships with tracking or is collected in person, as agreed.

Questions

How much does a commission cost?

It depends on size, complexity and timing. Your written quote is free, and you decide whether to go ahead.

Can you paint from my photos?

Yes — clear, well-lit photos help most. Your photos are private and are never reused without your permission.

Who owns the rights to the painting?

You own the painting. Lily keeps the copyright in the image; any other use, such as prints or cards, is agreed in writing.

What if I need to cancel?

Before work starts you can cancel without charge. After that, any charge reflects the agreed work already done, as set out in your quote — and your statutory rights are unaffected.
