FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I hope you find the answer to your question here! If not, please email me at cher@cherdeaville.com or message me under the CONTACT menu at the top of the page.

What medium are your original paintings?
I work mostly in water based mediums; acrylic paint, inks, pencils, pens and water soluble crayons. My work occasionally will include collage paper and gel mediums.

Are your paintings framed?
Much like buying art, framing is a personal choice so it varies. I offer two types of works on canvas, one stretched, ready to hang and unframed, many people prefer this look and shipping is cheaper. If you like the look of a frame you can choose when you have the painting with you – it’s easier to decide that way! A slimline box frame looks great on a canvas. Some of my larger works on canvas are shipped not stretched and rolled in a tube, this doesn’t damage the painting in any way, working in acrylic means its very flexible. This option is the cheapest and safest way to ship art. If you have any queries regarding this please get in touch and I can give you advice,  and ship directly to a framer near you for convenience.

Paintings on cradled wood or wood panel usually have a contemporary wooden frame. Details will be with each work.

Please also contact me if you would like bespoke advice or have any further questions – framing can be an art in itself!

Will my painting be ready to hang?
Paintings on cradled wood and stretched canvas will be ready to hang (with cord, wire or hanging straps). All other works you will need to decide how to display, I can help with this, please get in touch.

My favourite painting has sold – how can I be sure to know about new work?
Some pieces sell very quickly. Make sure you join my mailing list at the bottom of the page to find out about new work before it is added to the Shop. You can also follow studio progress on Instagram to see new work coming up.

How will my painting be wrapped?
It depends on size, but paintings will be carefully packed using as much protection as possible. Each one is unique so I take care that it is well protected to arrive in perfect condition. For further details about delivery please see the Shipping details.

Do you do special commissions?
Special commissions are closed, I am however currently working on a new body of work that I am really excited about. If you like my style then one of these could be the one for you. Sign up to my mailing list at the bottom of the page to stay up to date with new works and get first access to new work before it goes in the shop.
