What a pleasure it was to work with Helen!

I discovered Helen through an internet search on line. The process from start to finish was stress free as Helen guided us through the steps of creating a beautiful watercolor gift . I describe the vibrant  colors and Helen’s style  of painting as “magical”. She was able to capture our local work neighborhood on canvas perfectly- the buildings and landscape draw you into the scene with a feeling of joy. I also appreciated Helen’s personal touch along the way. We communicated with frequent emails throughout the process and she even hand delivered the final painting to my apartment. Her warmth was evident from our first communication, and I knew that she wanted us to be thrilled with the final product- which we were! I was very lucky to find her and so glad I sent the initial inquiry email.

Giving the gift of art is special. Let’s get it done!

Ordering a custom artwork is a personal and collaborative experience, resulting in a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that reflects your unique preferences, ready to be displayed or gifted. I am sure you will love it!
Here’s some common information before we start:

  • Pricing for custom art commissions varies based on the size, timeframe and complexity. Below is the average pricing. Custom sizes are also available. Framing is available for an additional cost.

    5x7 in: from $280.00 (with 8x10 mat: +$10.00)
    8x10 in: from $480.00 (with 11x14 mat: +$10.00)
    9x12 in: from $520.00 (with 12x16 mat: +$15.00)
    11x14 in: from $630.00 (with 16x20 mat: +$20.00)
    16x20 in: from $870.00 (with 20x24 mat: +$30.00)

    18x24 in: from $950.00 (with 24x30 mat: +$30.00)
    22x30 in: from $1,100.00 (with 28x36 mat: +$30.00)
    24x36 in: from $1,400.00 (with 30x42 mat: +$40.00)

  • The timeframe for custom art commissions varies based on complexity, medium, and my availability. Typically, it can take from 2 to 14 days. I'll provide an estimated timeframe during the initial consultation and keep you updated on the progress. While the exact duration varies, I prioritize quality and attention to detail. If you have specific deadlines, please contact me via hi@helendenisevich.art, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your satisfaction is my priority!

  • Paper: I use high quality, professional museum grade 140 lb watercolor paper that lasts for decades. Your artwork will look amazing every day!

    Watercolor: I only use high quality, professional grade watercolor from top industry brands, to give every artwork vibrance and contrast.

    Tools: I use high quality professional natural and synthetic brushes, as well as archival inks.

    If you have any specific material requirements for your artwork - just let me know!

  • Why do I need a mat?

    I am able to provide a high quality archival white mat and a backing with your painting. A mat draws attention to your painting as well as presentation. If you are giving a portrait as a gift without purchasing a frame, then a mat is recommended. Adding a mat adds size to an artwork. For example a 8x10 inches painting with a mat would need a 11x14 inches frame. See the pricing section above for all sizes.

    Framing options:

    Commission prices do not include framing, but I can add it for you. Here are the frame options:

    Wood: white, oak, black
    Metal: black, silver, gold, bronze

    Each frame is 3/8 inches thick.

  • I usually have a 50% deposit before I start working on an artwork. The deposit is refundable within 2 days of your payment , unless I’ve already started to work on your artpiece.

    I accept all major credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal. I also accept Apple Pay or cash (in person).

  • USA: I provide free shipping and packing. Estimated shipping time is 2-4 business days.

    Canada: shipping available at additional cost. Estimated shipping time is 5-8 business days.

    International: shipping available at additional cost. Estimated shipping time is 8-22 business days.

    Expedited: shipping available at additional cost. Please contact me and I will come up with an estimation.

    Processing times, packaging and delivery: I ship within 1-2 business days after your artwork is completed. Large sizes may take additional processing time. Paintings are mailed in a rigid mailer, a tube or a box by USPS Priority service with tracking available. All shipments are insured to protect you and me.

    Local delivery and pickup (NYC area): if you are in the NYC area, I can deliver and hand the artwork to you, or you can come to my studio to pick it up. I am always happy to see my clients!

Art commission process

    What should we know about the services you provide? Better descriptions result in more sales.
