When I'm done, I will email or post a lo-res image to you, showing how the picture turned out. Assuming you're happy with what you see, we must consider delivery.
You have three options:
To avoid delivery charges, you're welcome to collect your new picture from my studio.
We're open all day, on most Wednesdays & Thursdays.
We can deliver your picture at a time to suit you - free of charge within a 10-mile radius.
We will levy a modest charge of 40 pence a mile (incl. our return journey) for longer distances.
Postage. Although fairly robust, a box canvas won't travel unscathed through the mail without substantial packaging. We would also recommend additional insurance. This will raise the overall price but may be cheaper than either you or us making a journey.
What if I don't like the picture? It's worth remembering that when you see the lo-res image, it's your chance to tell me what you think. I hope you'll love it, but you're under no obligation to take delivery if you're not 100% satisfied.
Do you use any smaller canvases? I've tried them, but anything smaller and the word-count tends to be too low to be useful.
Okay, but what about something bigger than the 'large' size? In theory, anything's possible. Contact me with your requirements.
Do you have any prints that I can buy as an alternative to a commission? You'll be pleased to know that, slowly but surely, I'm organising this. Check back 'soon-ish' or drop me a line.
Do you ever draw people? I know my limitations, so the simplest answer is 'no' - sorry!
Do you ever paint onto surfaces other than box canvases? Yes, but the beauty of a box canvas is that I don't have to stretch the canvas and you don't have to frame it: it's 'ready-to-hang'. Painting on other surfaces is possible, however... Contact me witrh your requirements.
I don't like this scratchy style. Can you offer a more traditional alternative? Contact me with your requirements...
I am interested in a sculpture but saw that it was sold. No problem! I can make a copy - of any size - within reason. Contact me with your requirements.
