I am an artist, therefore I use acrylic or oil paints and brushes for painting on canvas or cardboard, or I use watercolor paints and brushes for painting on paper, either pencils or crayons for drawing on paper (graphic artworks).
The main technique I prefer is oil on canvas.
My favorite style is impressionism.

Paintings
Most paintings are shipped fully assembled on a stretcher frame in custom-made cardboard boxes, designed to fit the exact size of the artwork.
   • Before boxing, the artwork is:
       ◦ wrapped in acid-free tissue paper,
       ◦ protected with bubble wrap,
       ◦ sealed to prevent moisture ingress,
       ◦ additionally secured with foam or other protective materials.

Large Paintings
   • Paintings with one side exceeding 100 cm are shipped rolled in a sturdy protective tube.
   • These artworks will require restretching, which can be easily done at a local framing shop.

Drawings
   • Drawings are shipped rolled inside a rigid protective tube.
   • To ensure safety and increase the structural strength (to prevent bending), the drawing is:
       ◦ covered with museum-quality, acid-free paper,
       ◦ rolled around a smaller diameter inner tube (spool),
       ◦ protected with bubble wrap,
       ◦ hermetically sealed and moisture-proofed to ensure full protection during transit.
   • The outer tube is selected according to the artwork’s size and designed for secure international shipping.

Calendars
   • Calendars are packaged in protective envelopes, reinforced with sturdy cardboard to prevent bending during shipping.

Postcards
   • Postcards are securely packaged to preserve their condition during delivery.

Custom Order Options:  Sometimes I take orders for the embodiment of some ideas and wishes of customers. Basically it is the creation of portraits. This does not happen often, because drawing a good portrait is a very difficult and responsible job for any painter. You can get 100% hand-drawn realistic Portrait or Sketch in different art techniques (Charcoal, Pencil, Oil, Acrylic, or Watercolor) painted remotely from your reference photos by professional painter.

Price is negotiable.
Average Production Time for Custom Orders:  14 days
