• What is the Price of an Old Master Painting?

The price of a painting is based on its complexity and size. We will discuss the price before starting the work to ensure transparency.

How Long Does It Take to Complete a Painting?
The painting process involves multiple layers, with each layer needing to dry properly before the next is applied. The time required can vary depending on the specific painting. Once I know which painting you want, I can give you a more accurate estimate.

Do You Have Paintings in Stock to Sell Right Away?
No, I only create commissioned work. All paintings are made to order to ensure they meet your specific requirements.

Do You Take on Projects to Paint More Than One Painting?
Yes, I do. If you have multiple paintings in mind, we can discuss the details and plan accordingly.

How Does Your Service Differ from Other Online Shops Selling Copies?
My approach is highly personal and focused on quality. I recreate paintings for art lovers who seek high-quality artwork, not mass-produced pieces. My process is meticulous and time-consuming, ensuring each painting is a true work of art.

What Does 'Museum Quality' Mean?
The term 'museum quality' is often used without clear criteria. High-quality paintings that closely resemble the originals cannot be recreated in a week or two; they can take months or even years, depending on the complexity. This process combines both art and science.

Do You Create Custom Paintings, Such as Portraits?
Yes, I create custom paintings, including portraits and other subjects.

Can You Make a Copy of a Painting by a Living Artist?
No, copying a painting by a living artist is against the law. I only create copy-left paintings. Please purchase the original from the artist.

What is the Payment Method?
We will discuss the payment method during our conversation. You can pay via PayPal or direct bank transfer.

How Do You Ship the Work?
For international orders, I ship the paintings via DHL and FedEx.

Is the Cost of Shipping Included in the Price of the Painting?
No, the shipping cost is not included in the price of the painting.

Do You Frame the Painting?
No, it is best to frame the painting at your local frame shop. Framing increases the shipping cost due to the added weight and size.

Do You Roll the Painting in a Tube Before Shipping?
No, some paintings cannot be rolled as it may damage their structure.

Do You Use Old Canvas to Paint On?
Yes, if an appropriate old canvas is available. If not, I will age the canvas myself.
