Paintings
What medium are your original paintings?
I work mainly in water based mediums; acrylic paint, inks and pencils. Further details will usually be listed alongside each piece.
Are your paintings framed?
Mostly. However, for works on canvas, some people prefer the more modern look of unframed. Please message me before purchase to discuss.
Paintings on cradled wood usually have a contemporary handpainted wooden frame. Details will be with each work. Please 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?
Yes, all paintings will come ready to hang. (with cord, wire or hanging straps).
Purchasing with a deposit or payment plan?
Due to unfortunate difficulties in the past, I no longer offer this option.
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 to find out about new work before it is added to the Shop. But, as I try not to bombard you with emails, you can also follow studio progress on Instagram or YouTube to see work coming up.
How will my painting be wrapped?
It depends on size, but paintings will be carefully packed using corner protection, bubble wrap and cardboard. Each one is unique so I take care that is well protected to arrive in perfect condition. For further details about delivery please see the Shipping details.
Do you do special commissions?
Currently I’m not taking on any new commissions, as I’m working on a new body of work. If you like my style then one of those may be the one for you!
Prints
What is a Print?
A print is a high quality reproduction of an original artwork, the print is so fine you can’t see the printed dots with the naked eye.
How are the prints made?
A high resolution photograph of the original work is taken and carefully colour adjusted to ensure the optimum colour match. The editions are giclee prints made at a specialist printer using archival quality inks on a 100% cotton rag acid free paper.
Do you make prints of all your paintings?
No, most are available as originals only. Certain paintings which I feel would work particularly well as reproductions are selected to be available as prints.
Can I order an print at a different size?
Some prints have some sizing options so you can choose what suits you, although not all are available at the largest size. Remember once you have added a mount and a frame the final dimensions will be larger.
Will my print be framed?
Because of the difficulty of shipping glass I don’t usually sell framed work. If you are happy to collect from my studio in Burgess Hill, I can arrange framing for you. Please email me at info@simonewoods.com or add a message to your order. You could also look at eframe for ordering mounts and frames online.
How will my print be wrapped?
Pieces under 20 x 30 cm will be carefully packed flat. Larger artwork will be rolled and sent in an extra strong cardboard tube to make sure it reaches you in best condition. For further details about delivery please see the Shipping details.
