After sharing how our custom commission process works, I wanted to pull back the curtain and show you how August’s custom artwork actually came to life in the studio!
The Materials & Color Selection
This client wanted a bold, light-reflective statement piece featuring our Rose Gold Mirror Acrylic base. We paired this warm metallic background with a cool, vibrant palette:
-
Steel Blue for deep structural lines.
-
Violet for rich, maximalist energy.
-
Pale Green for light-catching contrast.
The Process: Speed vs. Precision
In the process video above, you see quick snapshots of the layout, line work, and final framing. But in reality, painting on high-gloss acrylic mirror requires slow, deliberate strokes. Acrylic paint markers adhere beautifully to the surface, but every line must be placed by hand with zero digital assistance.
Once cured, the piece was matted down to 8 in. x 8 in. and mounted in a sleek 12 in. x 12 in. frame, ready to hang and catch natural light from every angle!
