Things To Consider When Buying Your Best Oil Painting Reproductions

Things To Consider When Buying Your Best Oil Painting Reproductions

By Misty Tyler


There is something great about paintings that make them beautiful ornaments in our living rooms. If before only people of high social status can afford to buy a painting, now the product is made so commercial that anyone who has the idea of what he wants, and who can pay for an artist can have it.

One of the most popular picks when it comes to house and office ornaments are the paintings. Aside from the natural glamour and class that they present, there is also an air of mystery but at the same time beauty that the art manifests. You do not even need to buy the original one to get the best appeal. With the best oil painting reproductions available in the market, you can always have a Mona Lisa painted and displayed in your place.

But before you go ahead and make your purchase, you have to be well versed as to the things you have to consider. You cannot just buy anything just because it looks good to you. You have to make sure that they are indeed of good quality despite being a replica of the original art. Here are the things you should include on your list.

Canvas type. Many good paintings are done using a cloth against a surface which is just covered with a special type of glue to achieve the same feel like that of the original one. This can be a viable option. But you can always go for those shops who do their reproductions on top quality canvas which are manufactured from countries who have long history and experience in art like Italy and England. A good choice of canvas means a more durable art.

Size of the material. Depending on the size of the area where you want to place the painting, you may have to request the shop to make a smaller version of the original one. This is fine. But if you want to get a picture of the full details of the painting in its full grandeur, then opting to have the original size of it is better.

Process used. By process, we mean hand painting. Now that the digital world has offer us easier means to print and designs photos, replicating an image digitally is also made easier. You do not want this. Reproducing an image electronically will not have a similar effect to the one that is made using quality oil points. Before you buy, make it a point to ask the retailer the process by which it is made.

Final appearance as compared to the original. Rather than randomly picking a painting you see on stores. It is best if you do your research in advance. Doing so will give you more information like the original painter and the story behind the image. Also, it will be easy for you to recognize whether or not the replica being sold out looks exactly the same as the original one. Consider bringing a clear printed copy of your choice.

Price of the art. Different art have different prices. The image which uses many colors will naturally cost more than that which only employs two. Also, factors such as the size and type of canvas will matter in the pricing. Keep these things in mind along with how much you are willing to spend and work along its range.

Know your options and start your search from it. If you need help in the selection, refer to your family members or your closest friends. It always pays to hear the honest opinion of others.
