FAQ

How can we contact you?

I am available via Facebook and Instagram (@hannahbruceart). I can be contacted on 07969326011 or by email to: hannah-bruce@hotmail.co.uk

How long does it take you to complete an art work?

Timescales will vary and depends on the mediums I am using and size of the work. An average oil painting with my level of skills and expertise can take 8-10 hours of concentrated work over a period of three weeks. When accepting commissions I set out clearly in advance the timescales that will be involved and provide regular updates to my clients via email or Whatsapp.

Do you do commissions?

Yes - I do commissions on all styles and subjects of work. I am happy to create an art work of your choosing from one of your photographs as long as copyright of the photographer has been obtained in advance and I have evidence of the same. When accepting commissions I will take a desposit upfront and set out clearly to you the timescales for completion. Timescales will vary as this will be dependent on how busy I am.

What style do you work in?

My skill level allows me to work in any medium and across various styles.  So if someone wanted a ink drawing in the style of Aubrey Beardsley I could do it. If they wanted a copy of Flaming June, I could do it. I have suitable Art knowledge to accomplish anything. Time scales will vary for different projects.

What is the maximum size you work to?

I can work to any size and have significant experience posting large pieces of art both nationaly and internationally. The main issue is ensuring that your final piece can be transported effectively, whether in final position or if rolled up. Customers who want super large pieces of work will usually have them stretched to a frame near where they are based. I am happy to discuss and advise on size logistics wherever needed.

Where is your next exhibition?

I list my events and exhibitions on my 'events' page. If and where this is not up to date then please do feel free to follow me on Facebook or Instagram (@hannahbruceart). I am regularly posting about what I am up to, forthcoming classses, my completed works and plans for the future.

Questions re Frames & Display

Can I have it without this frame?

Yes of course. Please contact me to discuss this.

What other colour frames do you have?

White, Grey or Black.

Can I display your art work in a bathroom or kitchen?

Resin - YES       Linen - NO.

Will this art work fade?

Every item of art is capable of fading over a prolonged period, it just depends on the materials used and the lightfastness of them. I use as high lightfastness ink and materials as I can.

 

Questions re Resin Art

What is Resin?

An art version of the chemical mix that make items such as car bumpers and interior trims.

In relation to Resin art work - will the colours change?

This depends on the UV protection in the art mix used. Resin white will go creamier over many years and clear resin will very slightly age yellow. To ensure that my resin art works are of the highest quality with the lowest risk of fading I always ensure that my resin art works have the maximum UV protection that can be bought.

How do I hang Resin Art?

Let me show you. I am happy to advise and assist my clients with placement and hanging.

Can you make a set of Resin Art?

Yes of course. A series of Resin Art is incredibly powerful to look in a spacious kitchen or bathroom for example. 

Can I have a bigger Resin that ones you display?

In relation to the frames that I use, the maximum size I would recommend due to the weight of the Resin is about 90cm on any one side (side length). To go bigger we would need to build a more substantial substrate frame. I have experienced in this and happy to do this. When accepting your commission we would discuss this in detail.

Questions re Postage & Delivery

Do you deliver locally?

Yes. My studio is in Knaphill, Surrey (GU21) and I am happy to deliver to you locally. In addition, I have significant experience posting art works both nationally and internationally and always ensure that the art is posted in a manner that is efficient and safe. If you wish to discuss a delivery slightly further afield then please contact me.

If I buy a piece of art from you and require it to be posted, how quickly will I receive this and how will it be sent to me?

I have significant experience posting my art works both nationally and internationally both through Royal Mail and other worldwide delivery brands such as, Parcelforce, UPS, FedEx and more. My priority at all times is to ensure that you receive your new piece of art both promptly and safely. I will use recorded post so it can be tracked at all times. When i package art I will use sufficient bubble-wrap (if needed) to ensure that it remains safe in transit and provide you with a certificate of authenticity and a business card as enclosures. I firmly believe that purchasing and receiving a new piece of art should be an experience to saviour, with this in mind I always ensure that the package is presented professionally and where appropriate, will use clear paper or a bow. We will be in communication with each other throughout this process.
