  • Information and Policies

    Paint and Canvas

    Melanie paints using high quality, rich and vivid acrylic or oil paints; sometimes additional mediums are used to acheive texture, shine or other effects. Canvas paintings are done on 100 % cotton stretched canvas that has been double primed and is acid-free.

    Gallery Canvas and Frames

    Paintings that are "gallery" are 1.5" deep and typically are not to be framed, the paint goes all around the sides to give it a nice finish. Regular 3/4" deep canvas can be hung as is or framed (preferrably framed). Some of the paintings will be available to purchase with a frame. Frames add anywhere from $60 - 120 to the price depending on the frame. To have a painting custom framed is often $180 and up. I can suggest frame shops if you would like to go that route. I can offer you frames from my own collection, or can help you choose something suitable for your painting from the store.

    Custom Art

    Melanie can take your photos and create something custom for you. Perhaps you have old photos of an ancestor you'd like a sketch or painting of? Maybe your child in their toddler years, or your wedding captured by an art piece? Perhaps it's your favourite place to go... a cottage, trail, lake view, or your beautiful garden. Whatever it is you'd like to add to your walls, if you have a reference photo that you took or found online, we can do a custom piece for you. If you don't have a photo but have an idea and colour scheme, we can work with that too. Melanie will do a rough scketch of the concept first. If you are unsatisfied with the custom work, she will make efforts to correct the painting. See POLICIES for returns and exhange on custom art.

    Shipping Outside the Ottawa-Gatineau Area

    If you live outside our area, please choose the shipping option or arrange your own shipping with us. For the paintings that are stretched canvas, we will build a box (wood or foam core) to keep them safe during travel. We are currently not shipping outside of Canada but are open to it if there is interest from outside Canada.

    Policies

    1) The cost of the painting is due when you pick it up, unless other arrangements have been made. For Custom Commisioned Work, a deposit is required before the Artist begins.

    2) Clients may pay by cheque, cash, with their credit card through PayPal on this site or email transfer to design@melaniegraphics.com. Cheques should be made out to Melanie Graphics. A receipt will always be given.

    3) The Client can view the ART in their home or office and if they feel it doesn't suit their space, it can be returned or exchanged. To help in your decision, please ask us for more photos. For a full refund, returns must be done within 2 weeks of purchase and the art should be in original condition. We do not cover the cost to ship it back - please purchase the insurance coverage as we will not give a refund unless the product is returned in good condition.

    4) Referals: If you refer a customer who purchases a painting to Melanie Graphics, we will give you $25 off a painting or a $10 Gift Card for Tim Hortons, or Starbucks, your choice!

    5) CUSTOM COMMISSIONED WORK, apart from portraits of people or pets: Should the Client be unsatisfied with the painting, they will receive a full refund and the painting will be returned to the Artist. In the event that the custom portrait or pet painting is unsatisfactory, and attempts to fix the painting fail, a 40% discount towards the next order will be given. Your happiness is important!

    6) The Artist always retains the right to use photos of the sold paintings to use in their portfolio, online, and in some cases, sell prints of the art (for commissioned art, prints sold only with permission).
