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.

Now, owning a replica of works by popular painters like Van Gogh, Monet and Da Vinci is within reach. Cities around the world have businesses that focus on selling the best oil painting reproductions to the public. If you look around, you should be able to see some.

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.

Type of canvas. While the image painted on it is still the main attraction, you cannot set aside the importance of the canvas used in making it. The wrong choice of canvas may affect the durability of the material. Those paintings done on premium type canvas are proven to be of best quality and can blend easily with the paint that the artist is using.

Painting size. For smaller houses, getting a reproduction that is smaller than the size of the original painting is appropriate. But if you do not have any problems placing a really huge one in your living room for instance, then better go for the original size.

Painting technique. It should be done through hand painting. Other than this technique will yield a visible difference on the art. You should be able to see the brush strokes and all other details that says it is made by hand. There may be shops that uses that uses digital images to complement the material. Be mindful of this.

The overall quality. This is where you take time to compare and contrast the original and the replica. If you cannot spot any, then the work is considered great. However, if there are visible marks or areas that are painted differently, you may want to consider some other choices.

Price. You also need to take note of your budget. You cannot just simply set aside the fact that even reproductions, when done using high quality products will still cost high. Find the best deal.

Paintings are more than just works of art. They have a story to tell which is open to different interpretations depending on how you feel by just looking at it. Get the best reproduction by choosing the right shop.
