Our talented artists use the same techniques as the great masters. They use oil painting techniques such as layering and glazing to recreate carefully the intensity of color and subtlety of light and shadow of the original masterpiece.
Your Fine Art reproduction oil painting will be a very close copy of the priceless original when it was first painted. We do not simulate aging such as cracked paint or yellowed varnish. And, of course, being hand-painted there will be some minor differences in the brushstrokes.
As the color in art book photographs and on computer screens can differ markedly from the original, our artists reproduce your chosen Fine Art reproduction oil painting only from expensive color slides sold by the museums where the originals are housed. This ensures that the vivid colors and expressive brushstrokes exactly mimic the original oil painting.
Oil paintings that do not meet our rigorous quality control inspections are not shipped to you.
Depending on the difficulty of the subject, it usually takes our meticulous artists about 4 weeks to complete an oil painting. Add another 3-4 days for delivery and you will soon be the proud owner of a stunning Fine Art reproduction masterpiece.
9. Will my oil painting be framed?
No. Generally, customers prefer to choose a frame when they receive the oil painting so that the frame matches both the oil painting and their home decoration. Including a frame would substantially increase the shipping costs and, unlike the oil painting itself, would be liable for customs duty. Framed paintings are also more susceptible to damage during transportation.
10. Where can I get my oil painting framed?
Most towns have at least one framing shop. Our customer service staff can help you locate a reputable framer near to your home.
