Commisions

Once I’ve confirmed that I’m accepting commissions, briefly write me an email telling me what you are looking for in terms of style, size, and any other relevant information. For abstract landscapes, please provide a colour photo of the image you would like me to paint.  I’ll then organize a brief conference call for us to connect so that I can ask any further questions, and you can ask me as well!  We will discuss your vision, expectations, timeline and costs and payment.  This is your opportunity to tell me the story behind the image, colours you prefer and the mood of the piece that you would like me to aim for and also the time of day.  Would you like a serene piece that is a sunrise or sunset? Are you looking for a pop of vibrancy and a dynamic landscape?

I will then work out a basic geometric design, which I use as a guideline to inform my design as I work on the canvas.  Please note that the final piece will not look 100% like the first design, however if there is something that you like or dislike at the outset this is a good time to discuss this.

Before any painting begins you will need to deposit 50% of the cost of the project.  I will use this initial fee to buy materials and begin painting.

If the canvas size you requested is not in stock, I will order the size that you’ve requested, which can take up to a week.

I will send you photos of the painting mid-way through and once more towards the end of the work. Then you can provide me with feedback (e.g. if you’d like to see more or less of something), however it will be up to my discretion in terms of the overall impact of the piece, in terms of how much is changed.

I will make up to two changes, and will send you photos after each request.  Once the painting is completed, you send the remaining balance due on your invoice, then the painting will be packed and shipped to you.

This will depend on my schedule at the time of the order, as well as the size of the piece, plus any iterations.  It is a case-by-case basis; however you can expect it to be anywhere between 4-8 weeks plus shipping time.  This will also allow for curing of the paint and protective varnishing to take place.

I work hard to listen and understand what you are looking for, and what you have in mind for the final piece.  It’s possible though the finished piece doesn’t match your vision.  If this happens, 25% of the total invoice can be used towards purchasing any other painting available on my web site.

For international shipments, unless otherwise requested, the painting will be removed from its stretcher bars and wrapped and rolled in acid free paper and shipped in a tube.

If you would like it shipped directly to a framer, please contact me at charlotteharron.art@gmail.com to make the arrangements.

If you prefer to have your painting shipped on stretcher bars, I will provide a cost for you.

Shipping is paid separate to the cost of the artwork. Once the size of the artwork is confirmed, and before the piece is commissioned, I will provide you a cost of shipping based on the least expensive option.

For paintings being shipped outside of the Switzerland, the cost of international shipping and customs will be paid by you. 

If you would like a more expedited shipping option arranged, I can also provide you a cost for this.

When I make shipping arrangements, I’ll arrange for you to receive an email notification informing you of your packages travel status. 

A signature is required upon receipt of your package, so please make sure someone is there for the delivery.  If you are unable to have someone present at the time of the delivery, please make alternate arrangements, such as picking it up yourself, or having the courier company deliver it on another day.
