Travel Montages
Travelling shapes us.
The places we go.
The people we meet.
The adventures we undertake.
Or the relaxation we embrace.
When we travel, we leave with heavy luggage and return with precious memories.
If we’re lucky, across a lifetime we will gather precious memories from many places.
Travel montages are a wonderful way to bring those special memories together.
On the rest of this page, you’ll find information about the process, timings and costs of travel montages.
I hope you’ll find the answers to any questions below. But if not, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at: scottbrenmanstudio@gmail.com
Process
Step 1: Back and Forth
The first stage of commissioning a travel montage is a relaxed chat. You might have a clear idea of what you want, or you might still be working it out. It doesn’t matter. In this initial chat my aim is to see if I can do justice to your ideas and intentions.
We'll likely discuss the number of travel monuments you wish to include in your painting. I recommend a minimum of six and up to twelve.
The chat most often takes the form of a back-and-forth on e-mail. I’ll only accept a commission if I think I can create something wonderful.
Step 2: Options and Invoice
Once we’ve had an initial chat, I’ll prepare you a recommendation. I try to include a few options in my recommendations. For example, I’ll give you the option of different canvas sizes. Once we’ve agreed the details of the commission, I will send you an invoice for 50% of the total amount. The remaining 50% is due once you’ve received the painting and you’re happy with it. I accept bank transfers or PayPal.
Step 3: Mock-up and Check-in
For all commissions I start by creating a digital illustration. This helps me get a feel for the colours and the composition of a commission. Once I’m happy with the illustration, I’ll e-mail it to you. At this stage you’ll have a very clear idea of how the final piece will look and yet this is also the best time for you to make any comments or suggestions. Once we’re both happy, I move to the next stage.
Step 4: Painting and Framing
Once I've got going, I'll send you regular photos of the painting via WhatsApp or e-mail. When I’ve finished, I’ll send you a photo so you know what the final piece looks like. I then carefully wrap the painting and arrange a convenient time for delivery.
Prices
The price of a travel montage is determined by its size, complexity and the time it will take to complete. I strive to price fairly: reflecting the time, materials and care that goes into each one. I’ve given an indication of prices below. Suffice to say, I will provide a detailed, non-obligation quote before I start working on a commission.
Framed A2: From £975
Framed A1: From £1,100
Framed A0: From £1,250
Timings
I operate a first-come-first-served policy, as well as a wait list.
Before confirming your commission, I will discuss timings with you. As a rule of thumb, a painting will take a minimum of four weeks.
If you are really tight for time, I can often have an illustration printed on to a card for you to give on the day of the birthday/wedding/anniversary, with the promise of the painting to follow. Please discuss this with me at the time of booking.
Shipping
UK shipping is included in the price. If I can, I like to deliver paintings in person. If that’s not possible I use a courier. I can ship internationally – however, I charge this at cost price. This is something to discuss at the time of booking.
