FAQs
Archival Grade Prints
I offer two type of papers for the prints of my work (printed reproductions of my paintings): Semi-Gloss and Fine Art Cotton Rag. Prints are made/printed to order and hand signed.
Semi-Gloss Prints
These are printed on 250gsm premium semi-gloss highly saturated paper, with a resin coated base for a photographic feel. These are printed using genuine Epson archival grade inks ensuring they last 300+ years.
Fine Art Cotton Rag Prints
These are printed on 260gsm acid free 100% cotton rag fine art paper, with the highest D-Max of all cotton papers. The paper is slightly textured and coated with Enhanced Matte coating for exceptional colour gamut. The high quality velvet surface gives the look and feel of an original painting. These are printed using genuine Epson archival grade inks ensuring they last 300+years.
All prints should be displayed in glass/acrylic frames, away from direct sunlight and high/low temperatures to ensure they maintain their archival quality.

I ship from the UK. Orders are dispatched within 2-3 business days (Monday-Friday). Shipping estimates:
United Kingdom: 1-2 weeks
Australia: 1-5 weeks
Canada: 1-4 weeks
Ireland: 1-2 weeks
New Zealand: 1-5 weeks

Actual shipping times depend on the shipping method chosen.
I am not responsible for delays due to customs, holidays, the pandemic, strikes, or any other postal service delays. Shipping times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Standard shipping takes longer than Tracked. If you need an item for a specific date, contact me first to see if this is possible.
Do you combine orders?
Yes. If you have more than one open order, these will be combined where possible and any additional shipping charges refunded. If you plan on purchasing multiple orders, RTS items or custom orders in the near future, get in touch to have any open orders held and combined once ready.
Customs and Import Taxes
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs. Refunds will not be provided for orders returned due to unpaid fees.
Custom Orders/Commissions
I accept painted custom orders and commissions only, not custom prints. These include watercolour paintings, bags, wallets, shoes, ornaments etc. Prints are printed reproductions of my paintings and cannot be changed in any way. Custom openings are announced and held on my Instagram page: @taskreationstudio

What is RTS (Ready To Ship)?
RTS items are pieces that are pre-painted and ready to be dispatched. These can be watercolour paintings or handpainted items and are available every few weeks when time allows. They are specially priced. RTS items are announced and shared on my Instagram page: @taskreationstudio
Care Instructions
Display prints and paintings in glass or acrylic frames and keep away from direct sunlight and high/low temperatures. Handpainted items are UV resistant, waterproof, peel and crack proof. Hand wash only using a damp cloth. Do not use chemicals, hand sanitisers or abrasive objects.
Returns
Returns, exchanges and cancellations are not accepted. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase please contact me and I will do my best to resolve your issue.
Wrong Address Provided
If you fail to contact me about a wrong/incomplete address Before I dispatch your order, it is out of my hands so a refund/replacement will not be provided for undelivered/lost mail.
Standard International Untracked OR Tracked Shipping (USA/Canada)?
Standard shipping is untracked for semi-gloss prints and stickers to the USA/Canada. This is a cheaper service and takes around 2-6 weeks. Tracked has tracking updates from dispatch to arrival, is insured and arrives quicker, around 1-3 weeks depending on country. Tracking is a priority mail charged service and does not come as standard when shipping from the UK.
Digital Files
I do not sell nor provide digital files of my work. I only sell printed reproductions of my own handpainted pieces or original paintings.
Do prints come framed?
I do not sell framed prints. Images are provided as an example only of how prints can be displayed.
