Tiny Brushstrokes Q & A

Ever thought of ordering a custom painting from tiny brushstrokes? For a gift or for yourself? In this post, I'll outline the easy process & answer a couple common questions.

It all starts with an idea & in most cases an email! Either you would like to order a painting as a gift for someone (ie: to welcome a new baby) or you would like to get a painting done for yourself (ie: to add to your baby's nursery decor). In either case, I can work with your ideas or provide you with an idea or 2 to choose from and provide sketches of the idea if preferred. I mostly focus on artwork for children - but am open to other requests as well!!

Q: What are your canvas sizes? 

A: The standard canvas sizes I offer are:

8" x 8" for  $50 + shipping
10" x 10" for $70 + shipping
12" x 12" for $90 + shipping

I can work with many canvas sizes and will quote upon request. The above canvas are 1.5" thick and ready to hang. Shipping rates range from $5. to $20. depending on size and distance.
Pick up & delivery options are available - this can be discussed during our initial communication.

Q: How long does a custom order take?

A: My normal timeline for a custom painting is 2 weeks. If you have a deadline, please let me know and I will work my best to meet it. If production times are slower (ie: I'm busier!) I will advise you during our initial communication.

Q:  I want to get my friend a custom painting for her new baby but not sure what she would like - do you offer gift certificates?

A: Yes, of course! Gift certificates are a great way to give the gift of custom artwork. To purchase a gift certificate, email wendy@tinybrushstrokes.ca or {update coming soon} visit my shop & etsy shop to purchase. Choose the size of canvas you like & the certificate can even be mailed directly to the recipient if you like with a message from you included. The recipient will then email tiny brushstrokes to place their order at their convenience & choose whatever design they wish! When completed, the painting will be shipped directly to them.

Q: What methods of payment do you accept?

A: I accept cash, Visa, Mastercard & Paypal. Paypal can be used through my shop & etsy shop & I can process Visa/MC payments directly.

 Other details...

* with every order, free gift wrapping is included. I can mail the gift painting directly to the recipient with a gift tag including your message. It couldn't be easier!

** when the custom order is complete, I can email you a picture of it prior to shipping if you like.

*** my paintings are actually paintings! no computer has touched the canvas! they are not prints - each painting is individual and unique.

**** my paintings are popular & memorable gifts! perfect for baby showers, birthdays, housewarmings, weddings, etc.

Custom artwork is the perfect addition to complete the interior design of nurseries, kids rooms, playrooms, etc. 

If you have a question, an idea or just want to inquire about working with tiny brushstrokes  email me at wendy@tinybrushstrokes.ca - I look forward to hearing from you!
