Frequently Asked Questions
Product Details
Giclée (pronounced jhee-clay) is the highest-quality fine art printing process. Using microscopic ink droplets and up to 10 archival inks, giclée printing captures an exceptionally wide range of colours and produces remarkable detail and depth.
Originals are the actual, one-of-a-kind paintings I create by hand. Each has its own texture, depth, and unique details that can’t be replicated.
Fine art prints are high-quality reproductions of my original paintings, created using archival giclée printing. They allow you to enjoy the artwork at a more accessible price point while maintaining exceptional colour, detail, and quality.
Limited edition prints are produced in a fixed quantity. Each print is numbered and signed, and once the edition sells out, no more are made.
Open edition prints have no set quantity, so they can continue to be reproduced and purchased over time while available. They are typically not numbered or limited in quantity. I periodically retire open edition prints to make room for new work.
The vast majority of our fine art prints are hand-embellished with paint and/or metal leaf to recreate the texture and shine of the original. Because each is finished by hand, every piece is unique. Embellishment details are noted in the product description, with final touches thoughtfully determined by the artist.
Commissions
I recommend using a measuring tape to decide on size. The general rule for artwork above furniture like a couch or bed is the artwork should be approximately 2/3 the length of the furniture. If you have any questions or would like my input to help determine the size of painting that best suits your space, please don't hesitate to reach out and send me pictures and measurements.
Every artwork is designed according to details and references you provide. For large/complex pieces or if you request it, you will receive progress pictures as I work on the painting to ensure we are on the same page. You will also always receive photos of the final painting, which must be approved by you prior to delivering the painting to you. At that point, we can make any minor adjustments you may want before your new painting is professionally packaged and shipped with the utmost care.
My work has a slight abstract modern impressionistic style that is textured, expressive and often bursting with color although I do work with neutral colors as well. Please familiarize yourself with my work – I do not paint portraits, pets or hyper realistic pieces that are a copy of a photo. The subjects I am interested in painting include various types of landscapes (including mountains, seascapes, forests, deserts, cliffs etc), all types of flowers and semi-abstract work. For inspiration from my previous works, browse through my website, Instagram and Pinterest - these will give you a good idea of my style and the types of subjects I typically paint.
I work with high quality acrylics to create texture and I often add mixed media such as gold leaf, silver leaf, sparkles etc. for an extra touch of magic. The surfaces I paint on are ready to hang stretched canvas or birchwood and they do not require a frame although we can add a frame if you would like. All paintings are sealed with a varnish to protect the surface of the painting long term. A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase and the painting will be signed.
Depending on the waitlist, orders take about 2-3 months. Please be sure to contact me with adequate time in advance of the deadline you would like and let me know if there is a certain date it is required by.
I require a 50% deposit to begin the work and take the remaining 50% upon completing the project and receiving your full approval. Personalized payment plans are available by request.
Pricing is based on the size of the painting and the complexity/detail you are looking for (for example a detailed landscape painting is more complex than an abstract floral painting). All quotes given for custom work are valid for only 30 days - if 30 days have passed without the deposit being received, a revised quote will be provided.
Nada Khatib, the artist, retains all rights to her artwork, including reproduction rights, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
