Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about commissioning art, our process, pricing, and delivery — all in one place.

01
Commissions
How do I commission an artwork from Kalakosh?
It starts with a conversation. Reach out to us through the website or WhatsApp, share your story, references, or inspiration, and we'll guide you through the rest — from concept and sketch approval to the final handcrafted piece.
What types of artwork can I commission?
We offer five categories — Folk Art commissions rooted in Indian traditions, Intuitive Paintings shaped by your personality, Creative Caricatures that celebrate individuality, Memory Collages that preserve your most meaningful moments, and Bespoke Commissions for custom portraits, landscapes, and special occasions.
What information do I need to provide for a commission?
Share as much or as little as you're comfortable with — photographs, stories, the occasion, colour preferences, size requirements, and any references that inspire you. For Intuitive Paintings, we'll schedule a 20–40 minute personal call with the artist to understand you deeper.
How long does a commission take?
Timelines vary by complexity and type. Most commissions are completed within 2–4 weeks after sketch approval. Larger or more detailed pieces may take longer. We'll share an estimated timeline upfront so there are no surprises.
Can I request revisions during the process?
Absolutely. Every commission includes a sketch approval stage and two rounds of revisions. We want you to feel fully connected to the piece before it's finalised. Additional revisions beyond two rounds can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
02
Artwork & Formats
What mediums do you work in?
We work across watercolour, acrylic, oil, ink, mixed media, and digital illustration — depending on the artwork type, your preferences, and what best suits the piece. The medium is always discussed and decided together.
What formats are available for Intuitive Paintings?
Intuitive Paintings are available in three formats — on paper, on canvas, and as a scroll. Each format carries its own character and presence. We'll help you decide which works best for your space and the story behind the piece.
What sizes do you offer?
We work across a range of sizes — from intimate A4 pieces to large statement works. Custom dimensions are always welcome. If you're unsure about sizing, share a photo of the wall or space and we'll recommend what works best.
03
Pricing & Payment
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the type of artwork, size, medium, and complexity involved. After our initial conversation, we'll share a detailed quote before any work begins — no hidden costs, no surprises.
When do I need to pay?
We follow a simple two-part payment structure — an advance to confirm the commission and begin work, and the remaining balance after sketch approval and before final delivery. Exact terms are shared with your quote.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept UPI, bank transfers, and online payment links. All payment details are shared once the commission is confirmed.
04
Delivery & Shipping
Do you ship across India?
Yes, we ship pan-India. Every artwork is carefully packaged to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition — protected, secure, and ready to display. Shipping charges are shared along with your quote.
Do you ship internationally?
International shipping can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. Reach out to us with your location and we'll work out the best shipping solution for you.
Does the artwork come framed?
Framing is available as an add-on and can be discussed during the commission process. We can recommend framing options that complement the artwork and your space.
05
General
Who is behind Kalakosh?
Kalakosh was founded by Yashvi Shah — an artist with a strong foundation in fine arts and a deep inclination toward visual storytelling. Rooted in Indian artistic heritage, Kalakosh is her vision of making meaningful art accessible to everyone.
Can I visit the studio?
Studio visits can be arranged by appointment. Reach out to us via WhatsApp or email to schedule a time. We're based in Sion West, Mumbai.
Can I gift a commission to someone?
Absolutely — many of our commissions are created as gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other milestones. We'll work with you to keep it a surprise and ensure the piece carries the meaning you intend.
