Art is an integral part of life. In its many forms art provides an opportunity for artists and ordinary people to express themselves in a way that only art can allow. Some people earn a living through it, more so artists who make original paintings for sale. Painting is one of the oldest forms of art dating back to decades ago.
The original work of a painter is very valuable especially to persons who take keen interest in paintings. Reproductions of the painters work can always be done, but none can ever be as valuable as the authentic piece and none can give as much satisfaction to the buyer of the painting as the authentic piece does. Most art enthusiasts would never compromise on authenticity.
Identifying an authentic piece is not rocket science. There are easy ways of determining the authenticity. Most artists have their signatures on their pieces of artwork. Comparing the signatures with the ones on their previous works is a sure way of determining whether the piece of work is authentic. It is not very easy to successfully duplicate a signature on a reproduction.
Reproduced works will more often than not have bristles left on them because many at times the brushes used to make them are of low quality. It would be wise to carefully examine the artwork for bristles left on them in the paint on the canvas while trying to determine their originality.
If shopping for an oil painting it would be wise to remember that oil takes a long time to dry and an even longer time for the smell of the oil to completely fade away. If the piece of art is meant to be a vintage piece yet the smell of the oil is still very strong or the oil is semi wet, it is obviously a fake.
Many enthusiasts hold their paintings very close to their hearts. Many of them would not mind going the extra mile to land their hands on an authentic piece. Settling for an imitation is not really an option for them. Persons that fall in this category would therefore be very keen before walking out of any store that claims to deal in original paintings for sale, with a purchase.
