What You Get

My way to thank you for your financial support go make this project reach the goal is to send you either high quality prints (professional materials) of some of my paintings, or, if qualified, to paint for you custom floral original watercolors. For the custom original watercolors I am going to ask you to provide me with a "motivation" (why do you want a particular flower/subject painted?) and any other additional details needed. Depending on size, each original painting will take some time to complete, and as soon as the campaign for the project is finished I will let you know of the estimated time of delivery. I will start with the larger original watercolors first. Please notice that I retain all the copyrights on the image of the paintings, you receive the original painting but you are not allowed to reproduce it by any means without my written permission. We can also discuss the possibility to exchange the perk with paintings available for sale on my website, which means I can send it to you imediately after the confirmation of your contribution.
