What Comes with Your Painting: Story and Care Package
All of my paintings come with more than just the artwork itself. They arrive ready to hang, beautifully framed, and with a package to help you display your painting beautifully, look after it easily, and connect with the story behind it.
“The 'extras' that came with the painting - the playing cards and greeting cards, etc. - were lovely, but the 'making of' book was the most unique of all! Really grateful to have found Harriet Lawless and wishing her much success; hope you will find a piece that speaks to you too.”
Custom premium framing
Your painting comes professionally framed, customised to suit both the artwork and your home.
Each frame is handcrafted and hand-finished by my trusted framer. I’ll lead us through the design process to ensure the frame complements your painting beautifully.
Your artwork story book
You’ll receive a custom-designed hardcover book that tells the story of your painting, its inspiration and the process behind it.
Inside, you’ll find:
All of my original pencil sketches and preliminary paintings made as part of creating your painting
A signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity
A handwritten thank you note from me
A piece of the actual palette used to create your artwork
A QR code linking to a time-lapse video of the painting in progress
The work-in-progress story and photos showing how your painting came together
It’s a wonderful conversation starter, especially when guests ask about the story behind your piece.
All preliminary sketches and studies
You receive all the sketches and early paintings that led to the final artwork. These are included in the book and can be removed and framed separately. I think whoever owns the final piece should own the whole story of their painting.
Certificate of authenticity
You’ll receive a signed and dated certificate to verify your painting’s provenance and ensures it can be treasured for generations.
Hanging and care kit and guide
Included is a leather tool roll with elegant tools that I’ve sourced from around the world. These tools are beautifully made and reflect the same level of refinement as the artwork itself.
The kit includes:
A beechwood phillips screwdriver, made in the Czech Republic
A rosewood and brass spirit level, made in England
A brass tape measure, made in Germany
A mechanical pencil, made in Japan
A heavy duty safety picture hook, screw and plug
Two microfibre cloths, to clean the surface of your painting
All combined in a handmade suede leather tool roll, made in England
My printed ‘hanging and care guide’, to make it all easy and straightforward
Greeting and playing cards
To bring a little playfulness to your experience, I also include two custom card sets:
One set of greeting cards with envelopes.
Two decks of classic bridge-sized playing cards, in a custom printed tin.
Each features your painting and is printed on premium card stock.
They’re a subtle and elegant way to share your new piece with friends and family and get the conversation started.
Presented in a magnetic gift box
This package brings together the artwork, its story, and everything you need to care for it, in a way that I hope feels thoughtful and complete.
Humbly,
Harriet
