“Will the oil paintings look exactly the same as the picture posted in your store?”

A simple question. Yet, my reply can be paralyzed by how I should answer in a comprehensive manner.

To reply a single answer “Yes” or “No” is too straightforward. Basically, as good as showing ignorance and unimportance to the concern of potential buyers. Or by not replying will eventually turn away a new hope of success.

I have encountered quite frequently as an online seller. Usually, there are the new buyers who worry about receiving a poster print, instead of expecting an actual oil painting reproductions.

Now, I have just mentioned another word “reproduction”. To put it in my words relevant to this post, I would explain, “it is the process of generating duplicate copies from the original production”.

In oil paintings, a manufacturer can also reproduced into a poster print using press machines. To certain extend, there can even be mass produced.

So the foremost is to have an understanding of how to differentiate between a poster print and an oil painting reproduction? Below sharing some key factors to identify them.

1. Paintings done with oils require the colors mixed as the artists work & the colors are never the same, whereas, a poster print rely on the mix of color dye and the precision of the press machines.
2. A poster print will have perfectly smooth and lustrous surface, similar to a photograph. Oil paintings will show up some relief on texture, such as impasto paintings. You will see blobs of paint and the brush-strokes.
3. Prints are run on a press on different weights of paper and they can easily reproduce for mass quantity. Oil paintings require an artist to manually hand paint on the canvas, mass production will be too laborious.
4. Oil paintings, generally fetch a higher price, since it require a skilled artist to reproduce. Poster prints using press will rely on mechanical equipments to duplicate the product. The rate to produce prints are much faster than handmade oil paintings.

Back to the questions of “Will the oil paintings look exactly the same as the picture posted in your store?” With the common understandings listed, I will be able to answer more correctly.

Oil paintings will never be the same as a poster prints. However, experienced artists will try to reproduce as close as the picture posted in their online store.

A slight variant may be visible in contrast with the posted picture. This is typically true, and every online buyers should view and appreciate it as the creativity aspect from artists.

Do you view hand-painted oil painting reproduction as poster print?

Adding to last week topic on Chinese calligraphy painting, I thought it will be good idea to illustrate further about writing text on an oil painting artwork. I did some searching and hoping to compile a summary of what I have learn and share it on my blog. However, to what I have realized is not about the content, but about someone who has been an active contributor in Yahoo Answers. Her name appeared as “Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao” Member since April 07, 2007. In her profile, she mentioned that she is a professional acrylic artist and have 40 years of art painting experience under her belt. By her name, she is a Vietnamese artist. I would be interested to find out more about her work and perhaps invite her for a guest’s post.

Ok, back to the topic of the title today: how to add text to oil painting? You may be interested to read it here, which was also the answer by Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao. Or do you have a better answer than her?

Beside this written work for today, I have also realised that eBay did not list out my 9 items I have posted yesterday.. Its more than 24 hours. Without wondering why, i log in to ebay sg. Relisted the 9 items individually.

Next, I also realised that the price of my 2nd 9-sets posting has its price changed. I didnt do it.. who else could it be?… Well, minor change of price by cents.. But if someone buy it and im the one who lose out… So who gain eventually? The bigger dot com company who suck up through fees charging.

Anyway, ebay sg has not yet charge for listing fees.. I hope there will maintain this for next 10 years..

Oil painting is a form of aesthetic expression in which designs are accentuated by representational, imaginative or abstract; created in two dimensions by the application of oil colored media to a flat surface, called canvas. In early 18th century, oil painting was introduced to China, where talented artist started to adopt Western techniques; learning through painting replica from old masters and famous artist. Modern Chinese painters like Zhao Wuji, Wu Guanzhong, Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun, are topping representatives.

Everyone has different response to color, and it is highly personal, especially when choosing a piece of painting artwork to hang on the new wall. It brings in new color in another dimension. Oil painting is the most amazing artwork that every new interior should not miss out. It simply beautifies with colors from within a hanging frame. The subject is always there, it adds new color and interests on the wall, decorates and transforms a room, and adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to one who appreciate it.

As time goes by, we will be adding more artwork from other regions by professional artist who acquire good painting techniques and art style. We do not sell so-called art paper prints or pretentious posters that you can find at shopping malls. However, we do offer artistic reproductions of decorative art, with authentic and genuine 100% handmade artworks on canvas.

All paintings are shipped from oversea, delivery time may possibly take up to 20 days upon payment received. Usually, this happens when there are no stocks, and artist has to spend 4 days to a week to produce the art piece. Also taking into consideration that each painting is colored for several times, for some colors can not be drawn on before the former dry. With respect to its inherent nature, we still have to ensure oil paintings are totally dry before packing. We are also working towards 2 weeks delivery, including shipment transition.
