Choosing
artwork is a very personal exercise and can be quite difficult when making the
selection and/or choice for your client.
My
steps for this process are as follows:-
Step 1:
Sit down with your client and find
out what their preferences are i.e. acrylic or oil, abstract or contemporary,
bold or subtle you may need to have examples on hand so that they are able to visualise
what you mean by each of the genres.
Step 2:
Be aware of the already existing
colour scheme within the area in which you are working. This would also include
furnishings (traditional, contemporary, eclectic) and don’t forget about the
size of the room. The last thing that
you would want to create is a space which is overwhelmed by an enormous piece of
artwork. However, if your desire is to
create a larger space, then an option is to look at a series of art across the
wall (either 3 or 5) odd numbers are always best.
Step 3:
Where are you going to exhibit
your artwork? Do you want it to be the
main attraction or are you seeking a subtle effect?
Once
you have gone through each of the above steps, I guarantee that you will have
had success and be happy with the outcome.
Below
are some examples to help you along this path.
