Blocked-in Commissions

A blocked-in commission is a canvas that has already been started with figures blocked-in and ready to add your personal touches. They are more timely to complete because they have already been prepped, dried, and ready to go. If the size or image isn’t right for you, a blank canvas will be a better option.
