The Components Of 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.

The painters have a lot to consider while carrying out their work. It is definitely difficult to come up with an exact paint work as the original but similarity between it and the reproduction bridges the gap. The duplicate should therefore include every single element portrayed in the original be it the color, brush pattern or even the type of brush used.

The techniques used to come up with the original should also be the one used to make a duplicate of its own. Mechanical or any electronic device used is out of context in this procedure. One may consider making a photocopy and repainting it while making a duplicate but this is greatly discouraged as it does not promote art.

Simple components such as paint should not be altered. If for example an original was painted with high premium grade British oil paints, the duplicate should be painted using the same. This helps in preservation of authenticity as well as bringing up a sense of originality.

This work is normally done on premium-grade commercial canvas. Low end painters may want to cut cost and instead use plain cloth which they stretch and cover with clue or staple pins to create a canvas. This can never at any point be compared to professionally produced premium grade commercial canvas manufactured in countries well known for its expertise, quality and history in fine art.

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.

Again the price of oil art painting reproductions varies a bit from those on original works. Pricing is crucial as duplicates should never at any point be sold at prices higher than the original since it is already someone else job redone. A painter has to publicly publish their prices on their respective communication channels.
