Donna Liguria Art FAQs
- Do you accept commissions?
Yes, I love to! I have been commissioned to do a number of pieces for clients and they have come back for more! I would need to know what size of painting you are interested in, if you have a time frame in mind, and I would need at least one good photo of your subject. More photos are better and any additional bits of info help too, for example: did you want to emphasize anything in particular in the photo? Commissions are subject to my availability as well of course. - What do you like to paint the most?
Tough one to answer as I generally like all of my work. I do like painting water scenes and animals. Getting the eyes just right feels like a righteous, "Woohooo!" - Have you always operated in the same mediums and styles?
Growing up, I mostly painted in acrylics and did oils occasionally. I have practiced recently with watercolors, but acrylics are where I am living now. As far as style, I like painting as close to exactly as I see it as I can. That's photorealism in my book. - Do you paint people?
I am not comfortable painting people at this time. I have painted in some very small images of people in a few paintings, but until I get more practice in, painting people is not my forte right now. - What are the payment terms for commissions?
I am working on a commission contract. Typically, I take a third of the quoted price to pay for materials to get started and the remainder at pickup. (More on this later) - Is there a return policy?
In my Etsy Shop, there is a return policy according to their rules. There would be no returns on custom made artworks. - Where can I shop for your paintings?
I am on Etsy and that shop is https://www.etsy.com/shop/DonnaLiguriaArt. I'm working on Facebook Business page too. - What shipping options are available, and do you ship internationally?
Answer - How do you prefer to be contacted and when?
Contacting me is preferably by email as I could be painting especially during the day! Text will work, but you should always give me an idea for your request and I will get back with you as soon as possible. Facebook message works too, but again, if I am painting, especially with acrylics and as fast as they dry...again, I will get back to you as soon as I can. - Do you accept visitors at your studio?
No, my studio is in my home and not open to the public. - Do you offer a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes, I have and I can. - Where is your art currently on display? How can I see it?
To see my art in person, I am currently on display at Clearbrook Center of the Arts at Tacketts Mill in Lake Ridge, VA (in Woodbridge). Clearbrook is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4. I am also on Etsy as noted above. - Are you interested in being contacted by agents or galleries?
Yes. - What sizes of prints do you offer?
Answer pending - Do you use environmentally friendly and/or archival materials?
Answer pending - Do or have you accepted wholesale purchases from corporate art consultants and/or interior designers?
I haven't as yet but am open to the idea. - Do you teach any art lessons, on video?
I haven't as yet, who knows in the future! - What do you consider to be something that every artist should have?
Answer pending - What inspires you?
Nature, oceans, big blue sky, cute furry critters. - Is there a story behind your paintings?
There very well may be a story behind most of my paintings and they are all here on my blog. I would look at the keyword tags and find a topic you are interested in and see which blog posts and paintings pop up. - How long have you been blogging about your art?
Honestly, I only started this blog late 2020 so at the time of publishing, not quite a year. I appreciate the followers and the comments that people leave for me.
