Ordering
Private Commissions – Please email me your request and a selection of photo’s and I will provide you with a quote for the work. If you would like a pen and ink drawing you need to be aware that this will take considerably longer than graphite pencil. For example, the ‘Church of Santa Maria’ drawn slightly larger than A4 took approximately 70-80 hours using a .13mm pen, therefore I would appreciate as much notice as possible if the drawing is for a specific occasion.
The quality of card used varies due to the medium used, but I tend to use a 250grm Bristol Graphic Board for graphite pencil drawings and 300grm Acid Free Water Colour Board for pen and ink.
Original graphite pencil drawings are sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudging.
Prints – Generally, all prints will be A4, printed onto 250grm board. Prices will be shown on the individual galleries.
Photo Restoration – Costs for mild restoration, cropping, red eye removal, blemishes, scratches, tears removed and minor colour improvement = £5 – 10 per image. If I am able to carry out slightly more excessive repairs which result in a longer period of time on the restoration, I will send you an estimate of the work before I continue.
Delivery – All prints are protected in a plastic wallet and sent in a board backed envelope, Royal Mail 2nd class recorded delivery. For private commissions, I would liaise with you to arrange a suitable delivery to ensure your commission arrives safely.
Payments – All payments need to be made in full by cheque and once the payment has cleared, I will arrange the delivery of your completed work/prints. Sorry, but payments by credit card cannot be accepted at this time.
Contact details – Please contact me on the following email address with any requests or queries; dawn@theroseart.co.uk and I look forward to hearing from you.
