Every painter has a pile. Test pieces, colour experiments, the ones that went somewhere unexpected, and a few I never quite finished. They've been leaning against my studio walls for far too long. Rather than send them off to the op shop, I'd love for them to find a home with someone who'll actually enjoy them.

So every Sunday I'm auctioning a piece over on Instagram. No reserve, no fuss, just a bit of fun and a chance to own an original Char Paints piece for (potentially) less than the price of a bunch of supermarket flowers.

How it works

Each Sunday I'll post the week's piece on Instagram at @charpaints_. Bidding starts at $10 AUD, and you bid by commenting on the post, going up in $10 increments. Bidding closes at 6pm AEST on the Monday, and the highest bid in the comments at close takes it home.

Winners will hear from me by DM within 24 hours with payment details. Please note: shipping is not included in your winning bid. The winner covers the full cost of shipping, which I'll calculate based on the size of the piece and where it's headed, whether that's around the corner or overseas. I'll confirm the exact amount when I message you, and it's paid together with your winning bid. Once everything's through, I'll pack your piece with love and send it off.
