Landscape commissions
Commission an original landscape from your photographs, memories, or a place an artist can visit. From a family property to a distant coastline, the goal is not only to record the view but to preserve what it felt like to be there.
The people behind the work
Some artists paint on location; others build a composition from photographs and studies. Compare how each artist handles color, distance, weather, architecture, and light.

The commission process
Landscape commissions can begin with a single image, a group of travel photographs, a property address, or an in-person visit. The artist helps decide what to keep literal and where interpretation will make the scene stronger.
Share photographs, location, season, time of day, and the memory or occasion connected to the landscape.
Compare plein air, realist, impressionistic, expressive, and contemporary work, then select the artist whose atmosphere feels closest to your idea.
Agree on orientation, horizon, focal point, color, architecture, people, and whether several references should become one composition.
Review progress as agreed, then arrange varnishing, framing, packing, and delivery for the finished painting.
Planning your commission
Clients commission landscapes to remember a childhood property, wedding site, vacation, hometown, favorite trail, or changing skyline. Tell the artist which details anchor the memory so they are not lost in a beautiful but generic scene.
You can also discuss combining the best light, weather, and composition from several photographs. The result remains an original painting, guided by your references and the artist's judgment.
Every MadeMay artist is selected before joining the marketplace.
No AI-generated art and no factory or mass production.
Scope, messages, payment, and delivery stay connected on MadeMay.
Questions clients ask
Yes. Many landscape commissions begin with photographs. Multiple images can help the artist understand the larger setting, details, season, and light.
Often. An artist can build a composition from separate views when perspective and lighting can be reconciled. Share the references before agreeing on scope.
Usually. Tell the artist which figures or structures should appear and provide clear reference photographs for each.
Price depends on artist, medium, dimensions, complexity, travel, framing, and deadline. MadeMay shows starting prices, followed by a project-specific quote from the artist.
