FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between an 'Original Painting vs. a Print'?

Original paintings have been hand painted by Chelsea, therefore they will be one of a kinds.  Prints are replicas of Chelsea's original paintings that have been printed onto a canvas material.

What is a canvas print? 

I offer prints on canvas. The canvas material is a beautiful upgrade on a typical paper print. It has textural quality that mirrors the canvas I paint on.  This canvas material gets you close to the look of a Chels Made originall!  

Some prints include gold leaf that is added before shipping. This is done in order to get your print just as metallic and shiny as the original painting!  

How do I care for my print?

Prints should be framed as soon as possible to avoid damage.  A framer in your hometown will be able to mount your canvas print onto foam boards or stretch around stretcher bars and can also be framed.

Do you do commissions?

Yes, I do.  Please refer to my commissions tab on the websites home menu.

Will 'Out of Stock' paintings ever be restocked.

Unfortunately not.  These are one of a kind original paintings.  Therefore there will not be one painted exactly like a previous one.  I do recreate similar paintings to my previous works.  So always be checking back for my newest listings.

How long does it take for me to receive my artwork?
