Answer: First, you must fill out the Reproduction Commission Form, after which I’ll send you the quotation. If the quotation is acceptable then a 50% deposit must be paid into so that I can order the canvas and paints and start the reproduction. The outstanding amount must be paid before the completed artwork leaves my studio.
Question: Will the quotation include shipping, handling and import taxes?
Answer: No. The shipping can only be arranged after the reproduction is complete. These costs will be for the client’s account.
Question: Will I see the artwork before I make the final payment?
Answer: Yes. I will send you weekly progerss images via email and a final high-resolution photo of the finished artwork for preview.
Question: How long does a reproduction take?
Answer: An oil painting that measures 90 by 120cm usually takes about 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the amount of detail and technical complexity of the Artwork. Once I get started, I work tirelessly until the reproduction is complete.
Question: Can I have the painting removed from the wooden stretcher and shipped in a tube?
Answer: Yes. The 12-ounce Cotton Duck canvas or Belgium linen that I normally use is a very durable canvas and can easily be restretched.
Question: Can I commission more than one reproduction at a time?
Answer: Yes. There is no limit, however, each artwork will require its own Reproduction Commission Form to be filled out.
Question: Do I need to frame the artwork?
Answer: The edges of the artwork are neatly finished off so that it is ready to hang, giving it a modern clean look. However, framing is optional.
