No, purchasing an original artwork gives you ownership of the physical piece but not the copyright. As the artist, I retain all copyrights to the artwork, including the rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the image.

It means I, as the creator, have the right to create prints, use the image for promotional purposes, or include it in my portfolio. The buyer of the original artwork cannot reproduce, resell reproductions, or use the image for commercial purposes without prior agreement.

No, making copies or reproductions of the artwork violates copyright law. If you’d like to have a print or reproduction, I’d be happy to provide one for you.

If you’re interested in owning the copyright to a piece, this can be arranged for an additional fee. Please contact me to discuss terms and pricing for a copyright transfer agreement.

Yes, I value transparency and will inform buyers if prints are made of any artwork they have purchased. Originals will always remain unique and special, and prints are often limited-edition to preserve the exclusivity of the piece.

For commissioned artwork, I retain the copyright unless we agree otherwise in writing. I may use the image in my portfolio or promotional materials, but I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand. If exclusive rights are important to you, we can include this in the commission agreement.

Copyright ensures that artists get to maintain control over their creations. It allows us to continue sharing our work through prints, merchandise, or promotions while protecting the integrity of the original piece.

If the original artwork is sold, prints may still be available. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll let you know if a print can be made.

For watercolors, it’s best to frame the piece under UV-protection glass to prevent fading. Keep all artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures.
