Ordering Process
1. A simple question of choice
First of all, you have to choose the photograph(s) that you think are the most representative of your faithful companion.
There are certainly photos that seem more representative of your companion: a habit, a posture, a look... It's up to you to let your heart and your emotions speak. Don't stop at a background or an embarrassing detail, in painting everything can be changed. Only your animal counts.
As far as technique is concerned, only one thing is important: the quality of the photograph. This one must be of good quality and especially present the maximum of details: hairs, colors of the eyes well visible, etc...
I am here to advise you and to choose with you The Photograph, the one which will make of your painting a Unique Work!

2. Your photographies
You can send me the photograph(s):
- Either by e-mail to the following address: laurencesaunois.art@gmail.com
- Or by mail if you only have "paper" photographs. I will then scan them. Once the painting is done, I will return your "paper" photographs with the work.
Once I receive your photos, I examine them and make a first selection of those that seem to me the most appropriate to make a good composition. I can crop them, modify the luminosity or the contrasts. Once this is done, I send you my selection.
You can then choose the one that suits you best. Of course, I will be at your disposal to discuss and answer all your technical questions (for example the size of the painting).

4. Participate in the creative process
Throughout the process of creation, I send you by mail photographs on the evolution of your work.
You will be able to see all the different stages of the realization of your painting, from the preparatory drawing to the final work before the varnishing.
When the work is finished, I send you a photograph for approval. If you agree, I varnish your painting to reveal all the colors and nuances.

5. Payment
You have the possibility to pay by :
- Check (for France only)
- PAYPAL, reliable and secure payment method
- Credit card (via Paypal)
- Bank transfer (For foreign countries, the payment is considered as effective after the notification of my bank and collection time passed)
There is always a deposit and a balance, i.e. a payment in 2 instalments, but you can choose to pay in several instalments if you wish (contact me)
6. Deadlines for realization of the project
The delay depends on :
- according to the orders in progress.
- depending on the drying time of the oil paint and varnish. This is an incompressible technical constraint. The different layers of oil paint dry slowly and the varnish must always be dry before shipping.
If you want to offer an oil painting for a birthday or other, you must place an order a few months in advance.
7. Shipping
For large paintings, the shipment is done by carrier for France and for the international. The transport insurance is free.
All my paintings are shipped in wooden crates, or solid packaging, thus guaranteeing the transport.
(For the miniatures, shipping by the post office in Colissimo recommended rate R2).
There is no charge for packaging.
