FAQS
Do you need to be at the wedding?
No, I can work from photographs to create the fine artwork. The drawings blend various elements into a unified composition, providing lots of opportunities to incorporate small details personal to you - from canapes to wedding cakes, and bouquets to fireworks!
Could you be at the wedding?
Yes, I can attend your wedding and complete the fine art piece in person - drawing the personal details of your incredible day and then presenting it to you as part of your celebration - often at the end of your wedding breakfast. I provide a black and gold easel for it to be displayed for your guests to view. I have limited availability for 2024 but do enquire and I can have a look at my diary.
What is the commission process?
If you like my artwork, please do get in contact via email, WhatApp or Insta DM - it would be lovely to hear from you. Private commission prices all include a 20 min design call to discuss the piece, mounting, framing, and delivery. The call is usually done via Zoom. Following the call, I then create a sketch for you to review and you can then input on this before I draw the final artwork in person or remotely.
How do you create the fine artwork?
The artwork is drawn in pen, ink, and pencil, and painted with watercolour, acrylic, and metallic paint. The intricacy is created by using a 0.05mm fine line drawing pen with pigment ink.
How much does it cost?
My prices for hand finished prints and decorations start from £40 and can be purchased through my website. The prices for a remote private commission are £450 for an A3 drawing (297 mm (w) x 420 mm (h)) and £600 for an A2 drawing (420 mm (w) x 594 mm (h)). The sizes are for the overall drawing including mounting. The prices all include two hand finished high resolution fine art prints of your commission. These can create gifts for the wedding party or others. The prices also includes mounting and postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery. The price for in person drawing at your wedding price is from £800, please drop me an email for an individual quote.
Can you create fine art prints from the commissioned piece?
I can create hand finished fine art prints from your commissioned piece. These can create gifts for the wedding party or others. My commission prices include two fine art prints. Additional prints are charged at £15 per A3 size A3 (297 mm (w) x 420 mm (h)).
What are your sustainable practices?
I feel really strongly about climate change. All my art drawings and prints are made to order and are fine art quality - meaning they will last a lifetime. I am working to minimise my carbon footprint and I am on a journey to net zero. My studio has solar panels and materials are sourced locally where possible, and where not, suppliers are chosen with strong environmental credentials. Left over materials are re used, packaging is minimised and reused to reduce waste. Any new packaging purchased is eco-friendly and sustainable, plastic free, and fully recyclable or biodegradable. Sarah Custance Studio has Wenta's Sustainability Zero Bronze Certification.
