Payments

Extensions can be granted to the artists discretion.
Any payment plans can be discussed and granted to the artists discretion.
Failure to complete any payments discussed may result in termination of the commission process and the sale of the painting (the painting will be reworked so it no longer resembles the commissioned subject).
No painting will be sent out until the full payments have been made, if any commissions where paid with cheques, cheques must be cleared before commissions will be sent.
