Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, at this time all of the paintings and digital creations are solely created by LaTanya Renee. At the time this is an exclusive online art boutique. We look to feature more artists soon.

The difference is the depth/thickness of the canvas on the sides. For instance, in art galleries, the standard canvas would be 1.5” inches or larger, whereas a traditional canvas is .75” on the sides (half of the gallery size). Traditional canvases fit effortlessly into a floater frames and can save you money on the canvas too.

Yes, all of our stretched art on canvases will arrive with a picture hook in the back or with professional wiring, depending on the size of the art.

This part is challenging for a lot of new art buyers. Hanging the art is just as important as the art itself. You don’t want to hang it too high or low, nor do you want to hang it crooked or away from the correct wall position. Please sign up for our mailing list to receive our free wall hanging guide. This will give you photos and easy detailed descriptions.

Limited editions are prints with set production limits and open editions/prints can continue running without an end. For instance, when you order a limited edition print, you may purchase the first Edition print #5 out of a total of 10 prints in that series. When those are sold out we may offer a second Edition up to 10 prints. When both editions are sold we can chose to not print anymore or to open up a new edition. Either way it goes the collector should always have an idea of how many editions will be available before purchasing. The less prints available the more valuable the artwork.

Open prints have no limit; they can be manufactured at low or high volumes if you choose. They are worth less than a limited edition. Most large furniture and chain stores run open edition prints. This is why they can sell them for cheap and this is why you can go to the home of friends and family and they all have the same artwork.

Our digital art prints are open edition as we will print these ongoing. However, our fine art giclee prints from originals are limited editions that may go up to 3 series. This will be noted on the product page.

In some cases we will print the signature as it will be photographed on the original painting. In other cases we may have to sign it after printing. Nevertheless, all paintings are hand signed on the back of the artwork except digital downloads.

Yes, we offer framing services. Actually some of our canvases (.75” traditional) are great for framing with floater frames, and our paper prints can be framed. Give us a call for options and we will send them via email.

The original is considered the master painting. It is the canvas that took in every emotion and everything within its environment. The colors saturated that work of art in raw form. You will absolutely be the only person in the world with this original. Therefore, it holds a higher investment. Prints are created via a high quality scan or photo of an original work. It is a copy. The art you see in furniture stores and the like all sell mass produced prints. Also note that the scanning, photography, and editing involved in creating reproductions can be quite costly and the less prints an artist runs the more expensive they will be.

Commissions are an average of 15-25% more than works in our inventory because the art is being customized to your specs. You select the size, colors, and concept/idea of what you want to see on your canvas. There is great care, planning, and thought that must go into a custom piece. Even if you tell the artist to do what they want with the color choices, this is still a work for hire that must be placed on the production calendar for completion and approved by you. In some instances custom art may cost the same as a similar work in our inventory—it all depends. But you won’t know until you ask.

According to many galleries and working artists, original artwork is to be priced at a minimum of $2 per square inch when working in the professional realm. Thus a 16” x 20” will yield a base cost of $640. Once production, gallery pricing, time, marketing, professional photography, and materials are calculated this can add up to about $1400. We use a similar formula and price between .50 to $1 per square inch. Stephan Beaumann made a detailed video about this on YouTube.

With prints we determine how much the original painting will cost. We then consider the time to create and professionally photograph the original. Additionally we incorporating partnering, and coordinating with our high quality print associates, the high quality archival ink used, the canvas quality in various varieties, whether or not they are embellished giclees, and the limited editions.

We are not able to share with you why others will take such time to create original paintings and sell them inexpensively. We don’t know what their business plan/model includes or the type of market they are catering to. However, at CFBW we arrive at price points according to our experience level and what we bring to a canvas. A high price was paid to bring our expression to canvas and we stand behind it. The artwork we’ve sold over the years, time invested into running a business, education, our goals for growth, the quality of the materials, time spent on creating and concepts, the efforts placed into marketing, and day to day expenses .

Many hours are dedicated to the study of the craft, the art business, and business in general.

When working together on commissions we require excellent and timely communication. We are very thorough when it comes to replying to emails and returning calls and we graciously ask for your consideration in return.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the final result, you will not be obligated to finalize the purchase, any monies paid over the 50% deposit will be returned. Due to the nature of this business time invested into a project from the first initial contact to completion is time that cannot be redeemed. However, per your agreement you will note your options before coming to this conclusion. We make every effort to satisfy our clients, but we do realize that in each case this may not be possible.

Please note the pricing/investment section for more info on commission pricing questions. We look forward to quoting out your next project and thank you for considering a LaTanya Renee original in your space.
