- Your painting will be carefully packed for shipping within the next 5 business days.

Question 2

How my painting will be packaged ?

Accepted Answer

- Paintings on stretched canvas will be shipped in a carboard box.
 
- Paintings on unstretched canvas, drawings or photography on paper will be shipped rolled in a tube.
 
- Paintings with at least one side of 48 inches / 122 cm or larger will be removed from the stretched bars, rolled up and shipped in a tube.  You will have to re-stretch it when you will receive it.

After receiving those informations, I will provide you a Quote that will show the price of the commissioned artwork, the shipping cost and the delays of creation.
 
If you agree, a non-refundable deposit of  50% will be required to begin the painting.
You will receive an invoice and a request for payment.

Creating art is not a science. It may happen that the commissioned artwork doesn't correspond to the collector's vision.
 
In this case, 50% of the initial deposit (which means 25% from the total cost of the commissioned artwork) can be used to purchase any other painting available on artstudio29.com site.  This means that the other 50% of the initial deposit will not be refunded.
