01 / Start with your shop’s surroundings
Use a view visitors can place along their walk. Agree which bridge, bank and background buildings must remain in the picture. A broad river view can be your main subject; a closer architectural composition can provide a second choice without repeating the same scene.
A basilica view and a neighbourhood street scene serve different memories of Montmartre. Decide whether the dome, the stairway or the street itself is the focal point. Do not add an unrelated skyline simply to include more Paris landmarks.
Your collection can also explore Île de la Cité, the Luxembourg Garden, Canal Saint-Martin or the street beside your shop. Choose subjects from your customers’ visit, using reference images you own or have permission to reproduce.
These photographs illustrate possible subjects, not paintings we have delivered. For location context, see the tourist office’s Montmartre walk and Paris neighbourhood walks.
02 / Give the range a role in your shop
A visitor who recognizes the bridge they crossed or the stairs they climbed has a concrete reason to consider the painting. Visible brushwork and a ready-to-display frame give staff something specific to show when presenting a higher-priced gift alongside smaller souvenirs.
Choose the price position first: an unframed memory to take home, a finished gift, or both. Our studio trade quote lets you compare the cost of each version against your intended selling price. You keep control of pricing and display; our Shenzhen team does the painting.
| Place in your display | What to test |
|---|---|
| One main painting | Can someone identify the place from normal viewing distance? Give the principal view enough space to be seen. |
| A second subject | Does it recall another part of the visit, such as a Montmartre street rather than another near-identical dome view? |
| An optional framed version | Does its finished size fit your display, and does the delivered cost leave room at the retail price you plan to charge? |
03 / Check the actual composition
Any Paris location, your chosen viewpoint. Commission the landmark, street, garden or river view your visitors remember. The examples below explain what to check when approving a painting; you can choose other locations too.
Specify your own image width and height before agreeing the composition. A scene that works across a wide canvas may lose its defining building when reduced to a narrow crop. A separate sample order is useful when you want to inspect those choices in person.
| Check | River & bridge views | Landmarks & street scenes |
|---|---|---|
| Viewpoint | For a river view such as the Seine, keep the intended bridge, bank and background in the agreed relationship. | For a landmark such as Sacré-Cœur, agree the front, stairway or street viewpoint. For another location, identify its defining feature. |
| Recognizable detail | Keep the bridge outline and important buildings clear at the chosen image size. | Check the dome or focal façade before deciding how much surrounding detail to include. |
| Colour and mood | Agree daylight, weather and water colour from the selected reference. | Agree the treatment of pale stone, rooftops and street shadows. |
| Presentation | Check image proportions and whether any edge detail could be lost during framing. | Check that the frame does not crowd the architectural focal point. |
Paintings are made by hand on premium linen with no printed image underneath. Acrylic is the standard medium; request oil if that suits your range. A sample is a separate single-piece order, and the later collection is priced separately.
04 / Help visitors take it home
Format illustration
For a customer who wants to choose their own frame, offer rolled canvas. Explain that the extra 5 cm of blank canvas on each side is for stretching, outside the image they are buying.
Format illustration
For a finished gift, quote the frame with the painting. Check its outer dimensions against your shelf or wall and its packed size against the customer’s travel needs.
Illustrations explain presentation only. Artwork, frame and packing are agreed for your order. Heavy texture is best kept stretched or framed; packed dimensions do not establish airline baggage approval.
05 / Launch, then replenish
Tell us where your shop is, which Paris subjects you want, your chosen image dimensions, quantities, presentation, delivery postcode and required shop date.
Review the quote and agree the references. If you need a physical sample, order and review it first. Confirm the collection with the usual 50% deposit.
We share progress and final daylight photographs. Approve the completed work and settle the balance before shipment. Check production time and shipping time separately in the quote.
Track the design, format and selling price in your shop. To replenish one view, send its order reference and revised quantity; we confirm the new price and schedule.
Short of time before an opening or busy period? Ask for rush production with your deadline. We will confirm what is feasible for your chosen work and delivery address.
You can begin with one piece; mixed designs qualify together for better quantity rates at 6 and 21 pieces. For the delivery quote, include the painting, presentation, packing and transport, and confirm which duties and taxes are included.
06 / Specific buying decisions
Yes. Send reference photographs you own or have permission to reproduce, and identify the view that matters to your customers. Include any lettering or façade detail that must remain recognizable, so its treatment can be agreed before painting.
Yes, but approve a composition for each proportion. A narrow portrait crop may lose a bridge span or riverside building that makes the view recognizable. Mark the features you want to retain rather than asking for a simple crop of the wider painting.
The agreed subject, composition, dimensions and colour direction guide production. Individual brushwork varies because each piece is painted by hand. Use progress photographs and final daylight photographs to review the work before final approval.
Yes. Send the previous order reference or a photograph, the image dimensions, frame or rolled specification, and the new quantity. We quote that replenishment on its own specifications and quantity; you do not have to repeat the original assortment.
