These best tips for artists to accept art commissions will assist them to sell their work to an abundance of clients. First, follow up on leads immediately. Second, make licensing terms clear. Third, ask for between 30% to 50% of the money upfront. Fourth, create and maintain long-lasting relationships with clients.

Lastly, base pricing on the time it took to paint, the size of the pieces, and the different skills it required. An artist should communicate their artistic process to their clients by sending pictures of the ongoing piece. This will allow the client to build a meaningful connection with both the artwork and the artist.
