Special feature of hand-painted oil paintings:

For hand-painted oil paintings, a feasibility check must be carried out after each order. We can only accept it when we release the picture for the painting order.
Even during the course of the reproduction, it can be determined that an ordered oil painting cannot be implemented and completed.

Therefore, in the case of hand-made oil paintings, acceptance ALWAYS takes place only when we hand them over to the shipping service manager.

This special feature applies to all payment methods that can be selected in the shop.
