In the Studio: How a Painting is Packed & Shipped

I often get asked how a painting is packed and shipped.  

Here are a few pictures showing the packing process for a mediums size canvas (36"x36") that was sent to a buyer directly from my studio.

Larger painting canvases are picked up by Freighters & Craters at my studio.   They take care of building a custom crate for the artwork & then take care of the shipping & delivery...and are lovely to work with! :)

These are the wooden crates that I have made for shipping paintings - pre-lined with white foam. I'm adding an extra layer of cheerful green bubble wrap! 💚

If I can fit it safely around the painting in the crate - I add a bow so it will feel like opening a present when it arrives! :)
