How to commission a painting?

Portrait prices vary depending on size, complexity and number of subjects. On the whole, works on paper in pencil or pastel are less expensive than oil paintings. When painting in oils I use only the best Italian or Belgian linen, and the finest oil paints. These paintings are designed to endure for many years … and to be handed down thoughout further generations.

When planning your portrait it is important to consider the size of the wall upon which the painting will hang, whether the portrait will be framed and even particular colour schemes within your home.

“Fedele believes art should be accessible to everyone, not just the rich and famous….It’s for everyone. My aim is to paint an heirloom people can hand down to their kids, from generation to generation …”
