Unless prior written permission has been obtained from Belinda Louise, you may not:

3. Limited Edition Prints
Where artwork is described as a Limited First Edition or Limited Edition Print, only the physical print is being purchased.
The copyright remains solely with Belinda Louise.
Belinda Louise reserves the right to create future editions in different sizes, mediums or formats unless expressly stated otherwise.
4. Watercolour Artwork Disclaimer
Watercolour is a delicate and naturally transparent painting medium. Its beauty comes from the interaction of pigment, water and paper, creating subtle variations that are unique to each original artwork.
While professional artist-quality materials are used wherever possible, watercolour pigments naturally respond to their environment over time.
To preserve your artwork, customers should avoid:
-
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight;
-
excessive humidity or damp environments;
-
rapid fluctuations in temperature;
-
displaying artwork in areas exposed to steam or moisture;
-
storing artwork in direct contact with acidic materials.
Even when framed behind UV-protective glass, some fading or subtle colour variation may naturally occur over many years. This is considered a normal characteristic of original watercolour artwork and is not regarded as a fault or defect.
Proper framing and conservation practices will significantly extend the life of your artwork.
5. Product Information
Every effort is made to accurately display colours, textures and details.
However, colours may vary slightly due to:
-
individual computer and mobile device screens;
-
monitor calibration;
-
lighting during photography;
-
printing processes;
-
the handmade nature of original artwork.
Small variations are part of the uniqueness of handmade art.
6. Orders
All orders are subject to availability.
Belinda Louise reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order where necessary, including pricing errors, suspected fraud or product availability.
Customers will be notified promptly should any issue arise.
7. Pricing
All prices are listed in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.
Prices may change without notice.
8. Payment

Delivery times are estimates only.
Belinda Louise is not responsible for delays caused by postal services, customs, weather events or circumstances beyond reasonable control.
Risk passes to the purchaser upon delivery by the shipping carrier.
