Deposit / Payment

For contracts up to 400,-$ the invoice is payable with the order. For orders over 400,-$ a deposit of 50% is required. The balance will be paid after completion of the image due (see Order). In case you cancel the commission , you have to bear the costs for the work done by then. Minimum 300,-$.

Varnish for oilpaintings
