Key points

Rights and references

A commissioned piece does not reproduce someone else's work, a protected character or a brand logo: reproducing without permission exposes both the person ordering and the person making it. For a portrait from a photo, the agreement of the person shown and of the photographer is needed. Agree in advance what is delivered, which uses are allowed and how the author is credited.

Products, ventilation and rags

Paints, varnishes, glues and solvents are used with a window open, no flame nearby, with gloves and a mask suited to the product. Never mix two products. Rags soaked in oil or varnish can heat up and ignite on their own: dry them flat outdoors or soak them in water before throwing them away, never bundled up in a bin.

What affects the price

• area or number of rooms;
• complexity of the project;
