, , , , , , , , , Edit
I've only read an first-class in addition to informative article identifying the Top Ten Portrait Painters 2015. It's past times Annabel Elton, Head of Commissions (i.e. the lady inward accuse of the Federation of British Artists’ Fine Art Commissions Service) at the Mall Galleries. This article follows on from her before LinkedIn Pulse article - Portrait Commissions Are Thriving!
The Royal Society of Portrait Painters placed a tape break of commissions last twelvemonth (a rising of 62% from 2013) despite the onset of the photograph, the digital historic menstruum in addition to the selfie.
The latest article lists the acme 10 artists generating enquiries at the Annual Exhibition of the Royal Society of equally existence (listed alphabetically past times surname past times me):

I've done my listing higher upwards inward alphabetical monastic say past times surname whereas Annabel has them inward a dissimilar order. That's because her heading indicates that.....
The Top Portrait painters this twelvemonth are Phoebe Dickinson, Robbie Wraith in addition to Keith Breeden. These are the artists who received the most enquiries at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters’ Annual Exhibition at Mall Galleries.
It would live overnice to know which are the acme artists ranked according to the value of the commissions they after generated!

Personally, I'm all inward favour of express data existence released equally to who are the actually successful artists - inward damage of generating commissions or sales for the next reasons:
  • competition for commissions inward existent life is real competitive!
  • information similar this helps guide upwards in addition to coming artists equally to the type of fine art which sells good at exhibitions at the Mall Galleries. I'm non suggesting people should re-create successful artists - but at to the lowest degree it tells them what the people who come upwards to encounter the exhibitions like.
  • there's zip similar some salubrious contest to get:
    • member artists to upwards their game in addition to submit their real best run to annual exhibitions
    • prompt alternative panels to brand certain they pick out the best run submitted past times members - in addition to to non only hang run because it was submitted!
All the artists except Phoebe are members or associate members of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. Above the links inward their names are to their pages on the RP website in addition to after their names I've listed their professional person signature letters in addition to likewise listed their websites

(Note: If you lot click the commissions heading on the left of their RP page it gives a oil fee-guide for a unmarried portrait - related both to size in addition to media - in addition to what it includes in addition to excludes.)

It's a real interesting slice of data - non to the lowest degree for all aspiring portrait painters equally it indicates:
  • what type of creative individual attracts committee enquiries via the Fed.
  • the fact that you lot don't guide maintain to live a fellow member of i of the Fed. societies to generate enquiries almost a commission!

A website checklist for artists doing commissions

I've added the artists' websites to my listing - non to the lowest degree because it's my belief that anybody wanting to committee a portrait painter volition likewise expect at their website.

Do convey a expect at their websites. I'm personally convinced that the professionalism of an artist's website makes a large departure to whether or non they overstep commissions. Try studying their websites in addition to encounter what conclusions you lot tin flaming draw.

Tell me what you lot intend - practise websites affair to commissions?

Here's my suggested checklist for all artists labor commissions.
