FAQ’s

The beauty of handmade art.

All of the products on this site are handmade with love and lots of hard work. Brittney Carbone strives for excellent quality and will only sell you her best work that she fully supports. Handmade pieces may be similar in color and design, yet each is one of a kind, as if it has its own signature or fingerprint. Imperfections may appear in a piece, such as small bubbles. Bubbles occur naturally in the epoxy resin process, and some become trapped before curing. Imperfections add to its unique and individual beauty. Many of the pieces listed on the site are currently in inventory. Some pieces are examples of work that will be created just for you. If you have any questions about this, please reach out by emailing brittneycarboneart@gmail.com. Due to change in prices for inventory, prices are subject to change. The colors of work on the site may vary due to different computer or smartphone screens. Brittney wants you to be in love with your purchase! Please contact her at brittneycarboneart@gmail.com with any concerns.

Painting commissions require lots of time and care to create to truly capture your home. Please select the painting size via the shop page, then within one business day from your purchase, email brittneycarboneart@gmail.com with your reference photo(s).

Please note if you have a date in mind to have it completed. A rush order may require an additional fee. An 8”x10” custom watercolor painting can take from 3-6 weeks long to create.
