Questions & Answers

What motifs are possible?

There are no limits to your desired motif. Gladly you can send me several photos, which I then combine into a draft. Before the implementation of the portrait painting you will receive one or more drafts so you can decide in peace whether you like the design. If you are satisfied with the draft for the desired portrait, I begin with the implementation on your painting.

When do I pay for the portrait painting?

When ordering, you pay for your portrait painting in full upon order confirmation. Then I start with the implementation and you get, during the painting process and after completion, a photo of the work sent. Should you do not like the picture, 50% of the order amount for material and effort remain with the order taker.

What materials are possible?

Let me know in what size & with what material you want to have your picture painted. Gladly I advise you for the appropriate technique. The following materials are possible: oil paint, acrylic paint, pastel paint, pencil, tempera paint, pigments, varnishes, watercolor paint etc. Since all techniques of painting are treated equally in price, you do not pay extra for this.

What payment options are available to me?

Online Bank Transfer. You simply transfer the amount directly from your account and receive an invoice & proof of purchase.

Cash payment. You can pay for your portrait painting in cash.

How long is the delivery time?

The delivery time depends on the effort & size of the portrait painting. For a motif less elaborate work with fast-drying colors, the waiting time is about 20 working days.

For a possible framing and shipping of the commissioned artwork must be added another three to five working days. Larger paintings in oil paint need a little longer to dry before they are ready for shipment. Here the waiting time is between 20 – 30 days plus shipping time. The insured shipping is worldwide.

What do I need for an order request?

With a request I need the desired size of the image & a description of the desired motif. Best you send me the desired motif by e-mail. You are also welcome to visit me in my studio in Erfurt. Each work is made according to a template. The detailed and careful working method guarantees a maximum artistic result and a unique portrait painting.
