Travel Commission Paintings
Nic LOVES to travel to new places and exploring new landscapes AND she appreciates that others have places they have travelled and absolutely adored. This shared passion for travelling with many of her collectors has bought about the Travel Commissions, these commission paintings can either be re created from photographs taken by you on your own adventures (and don't worry if you don't feel like you're a landscape photographer, Nic is able to re build the landscape from whatever images you have!)
​​
Introducing MINI TRAVEL COMMISSIONS!
At the start of each Month Nic opens up 2 spots for Mini Commissions - either in size A4 or A3, Nic will create custom artwork for you based on your travel images! These are a much more affordable way of owning custom art and are a fabulous way of capturing your favourite travel images in a lasting memory! The best part? You don't have to be a landscape photographer to turn your memories into a lasting piece of art for your home - Nic can take your images (no matter the quality) and turn them into masterpieces!
​
PLUS! The best part about creating a custom painting from your travels is we have the liberty to change the original image as much as you want, a tree in the way of the scene? Let’s move it. The sunset didn’t reflect off the cliffs like you’ve seen in other images, let’s add it in! People in the background, deleted!
​
We can use multiple images to combine together to create the perfect piece for you!
​​
Standard Travel Commissions!
OR if you want to create a statement piece from your travels I can absolutely use your images to create a masterpiece *but* if you simply didn’t capture the image/s you want recreated you can absolutely send me to the destination and I can photograph and sketch images for you that we can use to create your custom piece!
Simply fill out the form below to book in your spot and I’ll be in touch to confirm your spot with a deposit.

Feel free to email info@niceverist.com if you have any questions or if you need your piece in a timeline that is not available on the booking system. *Sometimes* it is possible for me to move projects around to accommodate timelines!

Below are examples of Mini Travel Commissions and Standard Travel Commissions!
Travel Commissions
How it works
01
Once you've signed up to the waitlist and we've confirmed the type of Commission (mini or normal) then;
Mini Travel Commission; I'll be in contact to briefly discuss your idea, timeframe and confirm the size you're looking for (A3 or A4) and ask you to send me through your images you'd like to use for your piece!
​
Standard Travel Commission; I'll be in contact to briefly discuss your idea, confirm if we are using your own images or If you are sending me to your epic location (if so we'll also discuss logistics of this and travel costs!), timeframe and confirm sizing (or at least a rough idea of the size you are looking for!) Then I'll be able to provide you a quote and confirm if I'm able to work within your timeframe!
02
Once you've confirmed the quote
You pay your 30% deposit and I book you in and let you know when I'll be in contact to discuss your piece in further detail. When that time comes we'll either chat via email, over the phone or catch up in person to discuss your piece further, whatever you feel more comfortable with. In this meeting we will discuss more in depth what you're looking for, talking colour pallets and what you are hoping to capture in this piece, I'll likely ask more information about why this location is meaningful to you and what the vibe of the piece is (don't worry, I'll lead this convo hehe). Once we have more of an idea of your piece I'll either head to the studio to start sketches or go on a site visit. ​
​
Mini Travel Commissions: Most likely I'll be able to create a quick mock up of your piece using editing tools then be able to start on your piece straight away. If we are collating multiple images and this is a little more challenging then I may do some sketches also :)
2a
Site visit
Standard Travel Commissions: This is where I get to visit the location of your painting, explore the surroundings, take pictures and sketches and really get a feel for the place. During 2020 I was able to complete many commission paintings from photos, so a site visit isn't always necessary, but I do love them! Once I have captured the location with sketches and photo's I'll head back to the studio, collate all the info and send you my ideas.
03
Time for sketches!
Standard Travel Commissions: From here I'll make mini mock ups of your painting through sketches, this is an opportunity for us to both clarify the idea's we have in our mind and make sure we are on the same page. We will go back and forth until you are happy with the sketch and then I'll start the final piece! Step 2 and 3 could take as little as a week to as many are needed to get this sketch just right :)
​
Mini Travel Commission: As above I'll create sketches only *if* we need them to gain clarity on your piece before starting the final piece.
04
Time to start the final piece!
Stand Travel Commissions: I'll start on the final piece, and once the piece is looking the way I envisioned I'll send through some photos with some progress images from along the way. This gives us an opportunity to make any changes before I start the final details and make sure you are super happy with it before I finish it off.
​
Mini Travel Commission: Once I'm happy with the piece I'll send through for your approval and will make small changes where needed :)
05
Final details and framing!
Standard Travel Commission: I'll add the final details, send images through to you to approve, if you live locally we can organise a studio visit here also :) Once the final piece has your tick of approval I'll take it to the framer (if it's being framed) and then we wait 2-3 weeks for framing to be complete. At this point I'll ask for your final payment so your piece is all paid for by the time of pick up/shipping!
​
Mini Travel Commission: I'll send through final images and once you are happy and in love with your piece I'll send through to the framer (if framing) and we wait 1-2 weeks for framing to be complete. I'll also ask for your final payment to made before shipping/pick up is arranged.
06
Your piece is ready!
Depending what we discussed in our first meeting, your piece will either be shipped to you at this point, hand delivered or you'll come to my home studio in Barwon Heads to pick it up!
​
This is my favourite part, I've even had clients bring their partners to the studio to show them their surprise piece that they had no idea about.
I find so much joy collaborating with clients on special pieces for themselves and their loved ones. If you'd like to work together please add your details to the Commission Waitlist above or simply email info@niceverist.com with any questions.
​
I can't wait to work with you!
Frequently asked questions
Do you travel interstate?
Absolutely! We can discuss all travel fees in our first meeting but I'm more than happy to travel interstate!
​
Do you take payment instalments?
Absolutely! We can discuss this in our first meeting but if you'd like to add in extra payments along the way we can organise that at any time.
​
What is the general timeframe from start to finish?
Usually 4-8 weeks once we catch up from your book in date. This varies depending on painting complexity and how long we spend in the sketching stage. I'll keep you updated on timeframes all the way through and am committed to finishing paintings on time if they have a specific date.
​
What is the general timeframe for Mini Travel Commissions?
From the agreed upon start date your Mini Commission should be ready in anywhere from 1-3 weeks + framing + shipping.
