So, if you’re planning to commission artwork, here’s the sensible guide to analyzing art.

Determine Your Artwork’s Tone

If you would like to have a custom family portrait painting done for you, perhaps the first step would be to determine what tone of voice your custom artwork needs to have. Would you like your custom painting to be deliberate, honest or autobiographical? While this may sound mind-boggling at the onset, once you get the knack for evaluating artwork, you’ll get used to it.

How would you like to be able to convert one of your favourite family photos into a beautiful large family portrait oil painting and hang it on the wall of your favourite spot in the house?

Evaluate Your Custom Artwork’s Mood

Next, determine your custom artwork’s mood – will it be positive, energetic, exciting, serious, sedate, tense or uneasy? Determine what subject matter choices help to communicate this mood (like weather and lighting condition, the color of objects or scenes). And of course, this would be best done in coordination with your chosen artist or art gallery!

Evaluate Whether Your Artwork Conveys a Narrative or Story

Does your custom artwork convey or communicate a narrative, story or action? This would be all up to you, as you’re the one who has the theme and narrative in mind. Just make sure you clearly convey your custom artwork project’s theme or narrative to your chosen artist or art gallery! And if the artist isn’t comfortable with what you have in mind, make sure you can compromise. Artists needs to retain their personal aesthetics in all of their creations, so learn how to adjust as well.

Would There Be Any Abstract Elements Included In Your Custom Artwork?

And since abstract artworks are so much in demand today, perhaps you could also delve a bit in some subliminal, surreal or even out-of-this-world custom abstract paintings! Perhaps you could talk with your chosen artist or gallery on creating abstract pieces that capture objects in motion, and feature multiple or sequential images, as well as blurred edges, live-action performance or kinetic art.

 And as a truly popular saying goes – “Beauty is, and always will be, in the eye of the beholder”. This means that your decision about beauty, or the lack of it, in a particular work of art will be instinctive and natural.

 In fact, you perhaps won’t even have to make that decision, because you’ll simply be captivated by a piece of art, or you won’t. But then again, if you’re going to have a painting commissioned for you, you will most definitely ensure that it will be done according to your desires and vision!

 Thus, if you plan to have a custom modern family portrait painting done, make sure you communicate all your desires and intentions to your chosen artist or art gallery.  And, ensure that you draft a contract with them too, so that you will attain the custom painting that you truly deserve, and at the price range that you like as well!
