Elements Incorporated During Oil Painting Reproductions

By Stella Gay


Paintings and simple drawings either on walls, rocks, backside of trees and the ground was among the ways of passing across a message during the ancient times. Modern writing had not been introduced by then but conveniently passed the message intended. It is therefore evident that the art of painting have existed for many years. Today it has been perfected with masterpiece art work resulting from it leading to oil painting reproductions painters.

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.

The same paint used on the original should be the type of paint used in reproducing the duplicate. Similar quality should be maintained. If the paint used to paint the Mona Lisa portrait for example is high premium grade oil paint, the same should be used in coating of the reproduction. This ensures similar authenticity is transferred to the duplicate and quality is upheld.

Oil paintings are done on premium grade commercial canvas. A painter on the side making the reproduction may want to cut the cost and instead opt to use a plain cloth in place of the canvas. The quality of the two can never be compared as premium grade canvas is professionally manufactured by experts who know the history of painting as well as want to maintain 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.

Making a duplicate does not mean that the painter has the go ahead for selling it or displaying it at art galleries yet. The art work has to go through a number of approvals. Photographs of the same are sent to the original creators for multiple strict quality control inspections. If it passes this stage, the painter is given a go ahead to display the art work or even put it up 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.
