How is the finished canvas shipped?

Canvases ship either stretched (ready to hang) or rolled in a tube (for you to stretch locally, ideal for large pieces shipping internationally). Your artist will recommend the best option based on your size and location.

What if I'm not sure exactly what I want?

That's normal — start with what you do know: a room, a mood, a palette, reference images you love. Your Book An Artist artist will guide the rest of the brief, proposing composition and subject options before they begin.
