Key Considerations To Oil Painting Reproductions

By Stella Gay


Painting as an art has been put to use since the ancient times. Archaeological sites give evidence to this as the early man used paintings as well as simple drawings on their habitats and surrounding to convey massages. The art has greatly been perfected in the modern day with facilities such as art galleries put up to showcase it. Here one finds original paintings which are hard to own. Oil painting reproductions has made the dreams of owning such masterpieces possible.

While undertaking the reproduction, the painters have a number of considerations to put in place. It is a difficult task creating what may be termed as an original duplicate but making the reproduction similar with the original have bridged this gap. Duplicates therefore should comprise every element present in the original form color, paint job and materials used.

The same techniques used to come up with an original should therefore be incorporated in the duplicate. The reproduction therefore does not give room for use of any mechanical or electronic device at any stage of coming up with it. Photocopying and repainting an original art to ease your work is therefore forbidden. These precautions are at most cases documented at the initial painter terms and conditions of carrying out reproductions.

Specific oil paints are used to make masterpiece art work. Their reproduction should therefore be made of the same quality of coat. If for example only newton premium grade British oil paints were used, they should not be mixed with any other while coming up with the duplicate. This is well documented on an original painter website since they value their work and would not like anyone to lower the standards they set.

Oil paintings are done on special materials known as premium grade commercial canvas. A painter involved in reproduction may decide on cutting the cost incurred and opt on using a plain cloth which they stretch on a frame by use of glue or staples in place of canvas. This lowers the quality as the specified material is manufactured by experts of this field with the history of art work as well as with an aim of maintaining quality.

The size of a duplicate and an original design should exactly be similar. This not only makes it difficult to differentiate between the two but also ensure that every inch of paint job is done exactly as it is on an original. It also contributes in upholding standards when it comes to reproductions terms.

Approvals have to be done on a reproduction before it is made available to the public. This greatly help in ensuring that all the key components are well in cooperated as well as maintaining the required standards set. Photographs of a duplicate are sent to experts where the product is expected to pass multiple strict quality control inspections for approval. When it passes this, it is considered fit for the public.

Painters also have to be considerate when it comes to pricing the oil painting reproduction. It is expected that the prices will be relatively cheap compared to the price of the original product. They therefore have an obligation of publicly publishing their prices to the outside world through their website of preferred channels.
