There is something therapeutic about fine art, which is why there are so many art lovers around the world. A visual treat that immediately has some positive effect on the mind. All kinds of businesses be it healthcare industry, hospitality, finance or for that matter any corporate set up, you can see that they own admirable collections of art. The art displayed at businesses help create an environment which immediately has a positive effect on their clients. This is the power of fine art. However, not everyone can afford an original art by popular artists like Pablo Picasso, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali or Monet, and that is where the painting reproduction industry comes into the scene.
Reproduction involves recreating a masterpiece with all the legal permissions. The first thing to consider when you think of reproduction is the caliber of the artists, to imitate a masterpiece to the extent that one cannot differentiate between and require experts to differentiate it in itself is a feat. So obviously the artist must be very good at what he does. Moreover, the recreation has also been handmade and done by an artist so it does have value. The reproduction works sell in a few hundred while the masterpiece sells in a few million bucks, so it is definitely affordable while you can still get the feel of the original. The prints and posters lack depth and are kind of flat. Painting reproductions, on the other hand, have a certain depth and dimension. You can enjoy the brush strokes and you can easily capture the nuance and shape, the reflection of light off small irregularities.
If you are planning on purchasing a painting reproduction, then here are some of the common mistakes to avoid:
1. Almost all painting reproduction companies have websites and sell online, but what you have to watch out for is that you can see a clear picture of the art piece that you are planning to buy. The details such as the brush strokes and the colors must be clearly visible in a full dimension image. If the image online is not clearly visible, then email the company requesting for a larger image that could be sent via email to you. Only when you are satisfied with the image you should decide on purchasing the product.
2. You do not have to buy a painting just because they are a reproduction of a popular artist or artists or just because you have seen some of your other friends own them. Paintings that are reproductions of art from popular artist do not necessarily imply that you will like the painting, and if you purchase it you might end up with something you do not like. Instead ask yourself what appeals to you, what instantly attracts you, and go for that. You can ask the seller about the details of the art and then read more about it so that you will know to answer when someone asks you about it. This way it will also show your unique taste by not following a hype created around what the others are opting for.
3. Before you buy your product, make yourself familiar with the seller. It could be an individual or a company. Since you are investing your money in it, you should know who you are buying from. It is recommended to buy from a well-established individual or company with a few good years of experience under their belt. With such reputed individual or companies, you can be sure that you are getting a good product and not some cheap work. A reputed individual or company hires experienced artists to do these painting reproductions. You can check out the reviews or testimonials from other clients to know how good they are. Also do ask about their customer service beforehand if you need to contact them back with an issue.
4. When you order your art by mail or online, it is preferred to opt for the best shipping methods with order tracking technique in place and the quality of the packaging is good. If you opt for the cheapest shipping method, the packaging might not be that good, there may not be a way to track your order, so you will probably not know when your order will arrive, and when your order ultimately arrives there are chances that they could be damaged. Then you will end up spending more dollars for shipping to return the damaged product.
By taking these important precautions you can enjoy your painting reproductions to the fullest extent and flaunt them when you have some guests over.
