01 / Who is in the picture
Ask anyone recognizable in your image before a painted version goes on show or on sale
Kuwait's copyright law is Law No. 75 of 2019, and WIPO Lex lists that text as the latest version. Its Article 29 says a picture of a person should not be published, exhibited or distributed without that person's permission, unless they agreed otherwise. The article adds that this covers pictures made by drawing, engraving or any other method, not only photographs.
How the article applies to one image is a question for your own adviser. Our practical suggestion comes earlier, when you choose what to order. Look at each image and ask whether a private person in it can be recognized.
| Your image | What to settle before you order |
|---|---|
| A model or sitter you photographed | Ask for their permission for the painted version. We suggest a short written note that names the image and the use, such as a client order or stock for a shop. If the sitter wants a canvas for their own home, see our custom portrait paintings. |
| A street photo where a passer-by can be recognized | Ask that person, or choose another frame where nobody can be recognized. |
| A group photo from a family event or private gathering | Ask each person who can be recognized, or choose a frame without them. |
A village above the sea or a beach at sunset, like the two catalog scenes here, shows nobody who could be recognized.
Landscapes, sea views and empty streets from your own portfolio have no sitter to ask, so they can make a simple first order. Portraits can wait until each sitter has answered.
Two catalog scenes with no people in them. Neither is a customer's work.
02 / Who is in each image
One sitter still deciding? We can quote the rest of your images for Kuwait City
Does any image show a person who can be recognized? If so, tell us whether you already have their permission for the use you plan. Mark any image still waiting for an answer, and we can price it later.
Our guides to how we quote and how we paint explain each line of the quote and each stage of the painting. The photo to painting page shows how a photograph becomes a canvas.
- Each image, whether a photo, a painting, a digital file or an AI image, with a note on any person who can be recognized in it.
- The image width and height you want, and how many of each.
- The job of each canvas: a client, a shop or your own archive.
- Rolled, stretched or framed.
- Your delivery address in Kuwait.
Studio order & delivery terms
- Made by hand
- Painted directly on premium linen, with no printed base. Acrylic is standard; oil is available on request. One painter takes each canvas from the first marks to the last.
- One piece or a collection
- Orders start at one painting, with quantity tiers from 6 and 21 pieces. Mixed designs count together. A sample is a separate single-piece order, priced on its own and not credited against a later order.
- Rolled, stretched or framed
- You choose the image width and height. Suitable rolled work includes an extra 5 cm of blank canvas on every side for stretching or framing. Please mention a larger allowance before production. Heavy texture should travel stretched or framed.
- A complete delivery quote
- Your quote sets out the artwork, presentation and delivery charges. We work with more than 200 logistics partners to compare express and sea options. Most destinations are served on DDP terms, with exceptions where local customs rules require another arrangement. The quote states the delivery terms for Kuwait.
- Time for each stage
- Painting, your review, transport and any local framing are separate stages. Rush production can be requested, and we confirm a feasible date for the actual order.
- Payment
- Usually a 50% deposit, with the balance after final approval and before shipping.

Permission notes, likeness checks and private files for Kuwait City portraits
What does Kuwait's copyright law say about the form of a sitter's permission?
Article 29 of Kuwait's copyright law speaks of the person's permission and does not name a form for it. Your own adviser can tell you whether any other rule applies to your image. A dated note from the sitter also gives your buyer a clear record later.
Can my sitter see the painted portrait before it ships to Kuwait City?
Yes, you can share the daylight photos of the finished canvas with your sitter in Kuwait City before you approve it. The canvas waits for your approval, so you can hear from the sitter before you decide.
Do the portraits I send from Kuwait City stay private?
Yes, portraits and other images you send from Kuwait City stay private by default. If a sitter has asked for more than that, tell us your requirement and we confirm in the quote what we can do.
Who paints the portraits I send from Kuwait City?
Portraits you send from Kuwait City go to a painter matched to portrait subjects, who mixes the colors on the palette against your photo. In your note, point out the details your sitter will look at first, such as the eyes, the smile or a piece of jewelry.
Can portraits for different Kuwait City clients ship separately from one order?
Yes, we can ship a Kuwait City order in batches, so a portrait you have approved can travel before the others are finished. Tell us which canvases belong to which client when you order, so we can plan the batches from the start. Each batch is its own delivery, so ask us to price a single shipment and separate batches before you decide.
Permission in hand?
Which of your images have no one to ask, and which already have a written note?
Share those images with us, and add where each canvas will go: a client's home, a shop or your own wall.
