Product & Artwork

Common questions about HTHA artworks before you order.
Are HTHA paintings hand-painted?

Yes. Each work is painted by hand with brushes, palette knives and layered paint. It is not a flat print of an image applied as a finished surface.

Can I choose a different size?

Many artworks list size options on the product page. For another proportion or wall-specific size, start a custom painting request.

Can I change the color?

Selected palette adjustments are possible within the same visual direction through Custom Painting. Exact matching to finishes is reviewed case by case.

Are frames included?

Framing depends on the finish options on each artwork. Gallery-wrapped, rolled and framed choices are selected on the product page when available.

Will my painting look exactly like the website image?

The photograph is a faithful record of composition and palette. Because each piece is painted by hand, brushwork and texture will not be a pixel-perfect copy.

How do I choose the right size?

Use the size guidance on the product page and Buying Guide. Leave space around the canvas on the wall, and share a wall photo if you need help.

What materials are used?

Materials are listed on each artwork (for example oil on linen or canvas). See the product Materials & details section for the piece you are considering.

Orders & Payment

Help with checkout, payment and finding your order details.
How do I place an order?

Choose size and finish on the artwork page, add to cart, then complete checkout with your shipping and payment details.

Which payment methods are accepted?

At checkout you can use the payment methods enabled for your order. Currently available titles include: Direct bank transfer, Cash on delivery. Exact options can vary by currency and destination.

How do I know my order was received?

You receive an order confirmation email after successful checkout. Keep it for your order number and details.

Can I change my order after payment?

Contact Order Support as soon as possible with your order number. Changes may not be possible after studio work or packing has started.

Where can I find my order number?

It appears in your confirmation email and in My Account → Orders when you are signed in.

Can I update my shipping address?

Contact us early with the order number and corrected address. Changes may only be possible before dispatch.

Shipping & Delivery

Common questions about packing, tracking and international delivery.
Where does HTHA ship?

International shipping is available to selected destinations. Availability can vary by artwork size, framing and destination — ask if you are unsure about your country.

What is the difference between processing and delivery time?

Processing time is the period before shipment (review, production when required, inspection and packing). Transit / delivery time starts after carrier pickup and varies by destination and package type.

How long does Ready to Ship vs Made to Order take?

Ready to Ship skips made-to-order production but is not a promise of same-day shipping. Made-to-order and custom projects need production time listed or confirmed for that artwork or brief.

How will I receive tracking information?

When tracking is available, details are sent after carrier handover. Use Track an Order or My Account → Orders. Account order status is not the same as carrier tracking status.

How are paintings packaged?

Protective packing is matched to the format — rolled, stretched, framed or oversized — before the work leaves the studio. Specialised crating is confirmed when required.

Do you ship oversized artwork?

Often yes, with destination-specific limits. Contact Shipping Support with the artwork and destination before ordering a large piece.

Are duties and taxes included?

Duties, taxes and customs charges depend on your destination and local regulations. Confirm the current policy with HTHA before ordering if import charges matter for your purchase. Do not assume duties are included unless stated at checkout or in writing.

Can I change my delivery address?

Contact us as early as possible with your order number. Changes are more likely before dispatch; after carrier handover they depend on carrier rules.

What should I do if my artwork arrives damaged?

Keep the packaging, photograph the package and artwork, then open Order Issue / Damage Claim with your order number and order email. Handling follows the returns and after-sales review process.

What if tracking says delivered but I do not have the package?

Check with neighbours or building staff and review carrier notes, then contact Shipping Support with your order number and tracking history.

Returns & After-Sales

Guidance on after-sales requests — confirm current conditions with support before shipping anything back.
How do I start a return?

Contact Support with topic Return / Refund and your order number. Wait for return authorization before shipping anything back.

Is there a fixed return window?

The window depends on product type and order terms. This page does not invent a 14- or 30-day promise — confirm with support.

Can custom or made-to-order paintings be returned?

Custom commissions and many made-to-order works have limited or no change-of-mind returns. Damage and wrong-item cases are still reviewed.

What if my artwork arrives damaged?

Do not use a normal change-of-mind return. Keep packaging, photograph the issue, and open Order Issue / Damage Claim with your order number, order email and photos.

Who pays for return shipping?

It depends on the reason and approval. Prepaid labels and free returns are not assumed.

How long do refunds take?

After approval, HTHA processes the refund in WooCommerce / the payment gateway, then your bank posts it. Exact days vary by method.

Can I cancel before shipment?

Contact Order Support as early as possible. Cancellation depends on production stage — especially for made-to-order and custom work.

What about gift card payments?

Mixed gift-card and card payments are refunded according to how the order was paid. See Gift Cards and ask support to confirm the split.

Topic

Custom Painting

How commissioned and related custom paintings are requested and quoted.
Can I change the size of an existing HTHA painting?

Often yes, where the composition allows. Send the artwork link and preferred dimensions — we confirm suitability before quoting.

Can I change the colours?

Selected palette adjustments are possible within the same visual direction. Exact colour matching to finishes or textiles is reviewed case by case.

Can I send a photo of my room?

Yes. A wall photo, furniture width and a colour preference are among the most useful starting points.

Can you create a painting from a reference image?

We can use references as direction for a related hand-painted work. We do not reproduce another artist’s copyrighted painting as a replica.

Can I request an exact copy of another artist’s work?

No. HTHA commissions related original paintings. We will not copy protected third-party artworks.

How is custom pricing calculated?

Quotes reflect size, composition complexity, texture, framing and shipping destination. Nothing is painted until scope and price are approved.

How long does a custom painting take?

Lead time is given with the quote and typically includes painting, drying, review and packing. Oil needs time to settle before shipping.

Can I review the painting before shipping?

Where agreed with the quote, we share pre-shipment photos. Revision boundaries are set when the commission is approved.

What happens if I need changes?

Minor adjustments within the agreed scope may be possible. Larger changes are reviewed against the original quote and may require a revised agreement.

Artists & Craftsmanship

About the hand-painted process and studio standards.
Are HTHA paintings fully hand-painted?

Yes. Each work is painted by hand with brushes, palette knives and layered paint. It is not a flat print of an image applied as a finished surface.

Will my painting look exactly like the website image?

The photograph is a faithful record of composition and palette. Because each piece is painted by hand, brushwork and texture will not be a pixel-perfect copy.

Why can texture and brushwork vary slightly?

Surface variation is part of a hand-painted process. Light, drying and individual marks mean two related works will never be identical.

How long does a made-to-order painting take?

Lead time is listed on each artwork and typically includes painting, drying, review and packing. Oil needs time to settle before shipping.

Can I request a different size or colour?

Many listed works offer size options. For a related composition, palette shift or wall-specific proportion, start a custom painting enquiry.

Are paintings inspected before shipping?

Yes. Dimensions, surface, colour balance, edges and packing readiness are checked before a work leaves the studio.

Can I choose an artist?

Listed artworks show the artist when available. For a related commission, share your brief on Custom Painting and we will confirm who can paint it.
