Client acknowledges the artist is creating a unique work of art made by hand, and as such, neither "perfection" nor "photo realism" can be a reasonable expectation.

Adjustments ARE accepted throughout the painting process, within reason. Note: There is a physical limitation to the amount of color correction with Soft Pastel. Please let me know if you see anything that needs to be adjusted as soon as possible.
-
"Changes" are defined as additions-to or erasure-of any significant part of the painting, major color changes, composition changes, background changes, etc.
-
Changes are generally NOT accepted after the painting process has begun, but please inquire as early as possible if necessary.

The Artist retains the Right to Cancel any order, with full refund, if she believes she's unable to produce a high-quality painting after receiving the customer's requests and photos.
