2. How long time does it take?
SLOW TECHNIQE
With a lot of details and slow technique like oil paint, an order can take up to two months.
NORMAL SPEED
Depending on how long the queue is, most commissions will be completed in two to four weeks .
PRIORITISED
Time is relative. If it is really urgent, it may take a week. This at an additional cost.
3. Shipping information
Prepayment – When the customer has received a copy of the completed image, the full amount is paid in advance, including shipping. The image will be sent as soon as the transaction is registered. Shipping cost 100 – 300 sek depending on the size of the package.
Trusted customers may in some cases be able to pay afterwards.
4. These are the techniques you can choose from
Watercolour

Graphite or Charcoal
Techniques used mostly for gray scale images
Acrylic

5. Price
The first steps after you send a request via the form below is that JNArt provides an exact price (quotation).
Here are the variables that determine the price:
A smaller image with fewer difficulties and attributes takes less time and becomes cheaper. Details are, for example, a background or texture on a shirt, etc.
More or fewer faces / animals – or if there is a full body or hands in the picture.
Colour takes longer than greyscale.
Some techniques take longer than others.
What influences the price most is the level of detailed. JNArt applies two levels. Do you want a photo with fewer details that are less accurate or do you want one with much details that are more accurate and photographic?
A small image, 20x30cm usually costs less than a large image like 60x80cm.
VAT is added for commercial use of the image.
Shipping and material costs are added: 100 – approximately 300 sek.
Should an order be made in less than two weeks, an additional fee may apply.
For larger assignments – over 2000kr 50% will be paid in advance.
Best is if you look around the page, check what you like and send a request through the form below – then you get an estimate what your picture would cost. If it’s over your budget, we’ll discuss what’s best for you.
