How do I buy originals?
I create as many life drawings and paintings as possible and then release them on my website either as a collection, a set or individually, every two weeks or at the end of each month.
They will be advertised ahead of time via my social media, my blog and my mailing list as well.
These paintings go pretty quickly so be sure to be prompt! Originals will be available here.
You would like a larger print?
Contact me with your request at karanminhas@karanminhas.com and let's discuss what you have in mind.
As the Image quality, the aesthetics of the work are very important to me, with that in mind, hopefully you will be amazed when you see your large print in person.
If you are interested in occupying a larger area of your wall with either my photos or my artwork ( which I think is awesome and I would be honored and thank you!!!) I would also recommend putting together a collection of 3-4 pieces, again do email me at karanminhas@karanminhas.com to discuss it all!!
How is my artwork going to be shipped?
Life Drawings and paintings will take 4 weeks to receive ( unless the painting is in oil then do allow about 7 weeks as it takes time for the oil to dry from the painting to completion).
All artwork is properly wrapped up and padded well, and sent in the proper format.
Allow 6-12 days for US and Canadian deliveries, from the time of shipping.
Allow 14 - 25 days for international deliveries. For international buyers, please take into consideration that shipping charges may vary from the amount you pay at checkout. Do email me with any inquiries or to get an estimate.
Artwork which is over 50 inches and in paper format will be rolled in a tube, a local shop in your area can handle the framer, if need be. The overall cost will be $100 - $200 and it will depend on the size and the location. This can be arranged as well without any effort from your side, just let me know via my email karanminhas@karanminhas.com.
Most items will be shipped in their respective frame and format and beforehand an estimation will be sent to you via email.

Shipping costs cover fees, packaging supplies, time, and labour and these are calculated at checkout, based on weight and distance.
You will be notified via email if there are any discrepancies. We estimate 10-12 days for US and Canadian deliveries.
