Questions about buying a painting

Straight answers on buying an original from Dark Charms.

How much is an original painting?

Originals start at $489 USD for a small painting, shipped rolled. The price goes up with size and with the stretched, ready-to-hang format.

What sizes do you paint?

Three sizes in three shapes. Square: 60 x 60 cm, 100 x 100 cm, 130 x 130 cm. Portrait: 60 x 80 cm, 75 x 100 cm, 120 x 160 cm. Landscape: 80 x 60 cm, 100 x 75 cm, 160 x 120 cm. Anything above 160 cm is by enquiry.

Should I buy it rolled or stretched?

Rolled ships in a tube and arrives in 10 to 15 days. Choose it if you plan to frame the painting locally. Stretched arrives ready to hang, about 7 days later.

Is shipping free?

Yes, on every original painting and every print, to the United States and Australia.

Can I change the colours or the size?

Yes. Every original is painted after you order, so it can be changed before it is painted. Colour changes are free. Size and composition changes are quoted per piece, and you approve a photo before it ships.

Can I return a painting?

Catalogue originals and prints can be returned unopened within 14 days of delivery. Commissioned, customised and oversize work is final sale. Faults, damage and not-as-described are always covered.
