FAQ
If your question is not asked here, feel free to reach out to me and I can help answer any questions you may have.
What's the process of getting a customized painting?
A high-res image of the subject that you would like painted will be provided (preferably in your favorite angle). The background is not a priority, but it'll be a bonus if it is provided as well. This can be discussed during the process.
Select the dimensions of the painting. Please be sure you’ve measure the area you would like the painting to be hung or set to get an accurate estimation of size desired.
I'll draft up a contract for you to look over and sign. Once you've agreed to the terms and conditions, an initial deposit will be made on the painting. Once the deposit is received, your painting order will officially be added to the queue. I will begin once others ahead of you have been completed.
Easy peasy, right?! :)
How long does a custom painting take?
From beginning to end, paintings usually take about 4-5 weeks. The painting process itself (sketching and literally painting on the canvas) usually takes around 2-3 weeks to be completed. I have a daytime job apart from painting, so I usually allocate at least 2-3 hours every evening to paint. It takes about a week or two for the painting to be completely dry before I can apply the final varnishing coat. After the varnish is applied, it has to dry for an additional week before I can package it up to be sent off to its new home!
Will it cost extra if I want 2+ cars painted in one painting?
Yes it will! For every additional car there will be an increase in the pricing.
How does shipping work? Is it free?
Shipping is not included - reach out to me to get a shipping quote. Depending on your preferred delivery method, I will either ship it in a box or tube. If your canvas is larger than a certain size or if it’s an international shipment, then it will default to being rolled up in a tube. Client is responsible for custom/import fees into their country.
Why is the painting blue/yellow/gray before?
The solid color you see applied prior to the actual painting is a tone that I brush on before I start. It helps balance the color on the painting and accent specific colors. For instance, if I were to paint on a stark white canvas, it might deceive my eye from perceiving the true color I am trying to achieve. Having a base color helps brings it altogether.
What paint are you using?
Oil and acrylic paint! Mainly Winsor & Newton and Gamblin.
Can you paint my car for free?
Unfortunately, I'm in the midst of growing my business so doing free paintings isn't always something I can always luxuriously afford. The cost for materials alone is not cheap. :x
