Do I need to frame a Rolled Canvas Painting?

In order to make a Rolled Canvas painting ready-to-hang it needs framing. We have professionals in our team that deliver the best framing services in order for you to hang the painting directly after delivery.

If you choose to not make use of that service, we recommend you to bring the Rolled Canvas painting to your local trusted frame shop and let them prepare it to be ready-to-hang.

Do you keep stock of paintings?

We do not have paintings in stock, all the paintings are made on orders. This ensures that we provide only original pieces. 

We can also make adjustments to anybody's wishes. For any wishes, send us an email on artcision@gmail.com

Yes this is possible. We paint every painting on order so we are able to modify the size with the artist as you wish. What we need are just the right instruction and details.

Can I make some changes in the painting?

You can send us details at artcision@gmail.com so we can discuss it with the artist and make it happen for you. 

Can the canvas be hung the other way around (landscape)?

The hanging system is mounted on the painting so it hangs as shown in the images. 

But It is possible to modify the hanging system to your liking. 

Art is relative and is perceived differently from anybody's perspective. If it satisfies your vision then all you need to do is make it happen. 

 

Let us know before you order so we can make sure the hanging system is built such that it satisfies your wishes. 

Since it is original art, how is Artcision able to offer different sizes?

This is possible because every painting is made to order. This means that the Artist will start working on your painting after you order. This ensures the originality of the painting.

  •   Gallery Wrap
  •   White Frame
  •   Black Frame

How can I communicate other than email?

Frames And Framing Process

Does the painting come with a frame?

If you chose any option other than “Rolled Canvas” the painting will arrive framed and ready-to-hang.

If you chose the option of "Rolled Canvas", the painting will not come with a frame and will not be ready-to-hang. 

(In the "stretched" option the fabric is stretched over the wooden frame.)

What kind of frame is used?

We use floating frames for our paintings as we believe they are aesthetically the best choice for the designs we have. 

Why is the Rolled Canvas painting we received larger than showed on the website?

This is done because we leave open space on every side for framing purposes. This ensures that the Rolled Canvas can be framed properly without any loss of canvas and quality.

How do your make your flowers so realistic?

Each of our flowers are hand made and hand painted making each one slightly different from the next, perfectly reflecting nature. Not only do we ensure that the heads of each of our flowers are incredibly realistic but we have paid a lot of attention to the stems of our flowers as well to ensure that these too are as close to nature as possible. Our roses are a great example of this with their realistic thorns and beautiful detailing on the stem and leaves.

How do I care for my faux flowers & plants?

Artificial flowers really require very little maintenance but there are a few tips that we recommend to keep your blooms looking 'fresh'. We would suggest each month putting your hairdryer on a cool setting and using this to blow away any dust that may have settled on the petals. This is especially important for the white and lighter coloured flowers as it's the dust that tends to cause marks whereas these don't show up as much on the darker colours. If you do see a mark on the blooms we would suggest using a damp cloth to try remove any stains. 

For the more delicate flowers such as our tulips, lilies and magnolia these are made from a special type of treated foam and it's important not to get these wet! If you do spot any marks on them then the best remedy is to use a baby wipe to try to remove the stain. We do not recommend placing the flowers in direct sunlight, in case there could be some colour-fading over time.

Can my flowers be placed outside?

Whilst our flowers are not specifically designed to be outside (as they have not been tested to be photo stable) several of our retail and trade customers use our flowers outdoors very successfully. 

Things to consider are that darker coloured flowers won't show dirt as easily however over time they made fade from the sun, whilst the opposite is true for white flowers. The materials used for berries and foliage tend to tolerate outdoor conditions the best while our tulips and lilies are not suitable for outdoors. 

What are the stems made of?

All of our flowers have stems which are comprised of one or multiple soft wires (depending on the flower) running down the centre which has been wrapped in paper and finished with a layer of plastic. As each of the stems are wired, they can easily be bent to fit any height of vase and straightened later if you decide to change how you want to display them! 

How do I cut the stems?

As there is a wire running through each of the stems, we would ideally recommend using wire cutters to cut through the stem however if these aren't available then a strong pair of garden or kitchen scissors should do the trick!

One tip if you are having trouble getting through the wire is to cut through the paper and plastic with your scissors and make a small knick in the wire. Bend the wire back and forth which will help to weaken the wire and ultimately break it. 

How long will my artificial flowers last?

It's hard to determine exactly how long your artificial flowers will last however our estimate would be at least 5-10 years depending on the environment that they have been displayed in. We have had ours for years and they are still looking as 'fresh' as ever!
