Key Considerations To Oil Painting Reproductions

By Stella Gay


The art of painting has existed since time immemorial. Before the modern writing was introduced, ancient people would portray their massage through simple drawings or paintings on rocks, backs of trees and even the ground. This art has been perfected in the modern world with masterpiece paintings such as the Monalisa costing a fortune. Not all can afford this and oil painting reproductions has been introduced to cater for the demand.

A lot is put into consideration during the reproduction process. It is not possible to make the exact original copy as it is but a duplicate can be made such that it may be difficult to distinguish it from an original. Similarity is a key consideration. A duplicate should be able to portray every element portrayed by the original. Similar color, paint job, brushes and mode of painting have to be 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.

Oil coat reproductions products should also be made of same size as the first one. Size matters as it tells that every inch of a drawing is of the same dimension as that on the original. It also helps in creation of a sense of originality as a big or smaller size automatically gives a conclusion that it is fake despite it being a reproduction product.

The duplicates also have to go through a number of pre-approvals before they are sold or displayed. This is achieved through verification of numerous photographs sent to the creators of the original mostly as email attachment. When the coating has passed multiple, strict, quality control inspections, it is given a go ahead for sale.

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.
