Quick answer

A hand-painted brief should describe the decision the artwork must support

For a hotel, commercial, gallery, or residential project, start with the room, wall proportion, viewing distance, subject direction, finished dimensions, canvas, frame, surface, quantity, and approval checkpoints. Product-specific values are confirmed against the selected record and project brief.

What to decide first

  • Room or zone: lobby, guest room, dining, reception, gallery, or residence
  • Subject family: figure, portrait, still life, cityscape, or landscape
  • Finished dimensions, frame inclusion, orientation, and quantity
  • Canvas or substrate, surface direction, frame profile, and finish
  • Viewing distance, sample or proof checkpoints, and installation context
Scene and subject

Shortlist by room before choosing a product

A subject is only a starting direction. The final shortlist depends on wall proportion, light, cultural context, viewing distance, and whether the project needs a focal work or a repeatable programme.

Lobby and arrival

Review scale, sightline, lighting, texture, and the role of the artwork as a focal installation. Confirm the finished size and frame before approval.

Guest rooms and corridors

Review repeatability, frame consistency, room-type allocation, and viewing distance. Do not assume one subject or size fits every room.

Dining and reception

Review wall proportion, directional lighting, subject legibility, palette, and mounting constraints for the defined zone.

Approval workflow

Keep the record clear from brief to dispatch

  1. Project Brief: subject, room, quantity, dimensions, and installation context
  2. Specification Review: canvas, surface, frame, colour direction, and open decisions
  3. Sample or Proof Approval: comments, revisions, and final sign-off
  4. Project Records: piece identification, packing references, and photo review
  5. Installation Handoff: wall conditions, hanging method, and site contact

FAQ

Hand-painted oil painting project questions

What should a hotel hand-painted wall-art RFQ contain?

State the subject direction, finished dimensions, frame inclusion, canvas or substrate, frame finish, quantity, installation context, viewing distance, colour direction, and target on-site date. The selected design and final fields are confirmed by project scope.

How should a buyer distinguish hand-painted oil from a printed reproduction?

Use the specific product record and request sample or process evidence when the distinction matters. A material document does not by itself prove the painting process, and a catalog label should not be extended to products without matching records.

What frame details should be approved before production?

Confirm whether the finished dimensions include the frame, then record the frame material or profile, finish, hanging or installation notes, and whether one profile should repeat across a multi-room programme.

How many approval checkpoints should a project document?

Record the initial proof or sample, comments and revisions, and final sign-off. The number and sequence of checkpoints depend on the project brief and should be agreed before production.

What should a pre-shipment photo package show?

A project record can include face and edge views, piece identification, packaging status, and the link to the approved specification. The exact photo and document package is confirmed by project scope.

How does viewing distance affect a hand-painted selection?

Review size, surface texture, lighting, subject legibility, and the closest likely viewing point together. A viewing note for one design should not be treated as a universal rule for every artwork.

Which hand-painted subjects can suit a hotel lobby, dining room, or corporate space?

Shortlist by room function, wall proportion, lighting, cultural direction, and whether the project needs a focal piece or a repeatable programme. Confirm the selected design's scene and specification before quotation.

What should I send for a hand-painted project specification review?

Send the project type, room or zone, quantity, finished dimensions, subject direction, frame preference, viewing distance, destination, target on-site date, and material or installation requirements.

Have a hand-painted project brief?

Share the subject, room, dimensions, quantity, frame direction, and approval needs. We will identify the details that still need confirmation.
