We believe we have some of the most talented reproduction artists in our studio. They are educated and experienced artists who have spent many years studying the techniques and palette of the artists whose work they recreate. We guarantee that every one of our oil paintings is 100% hand-painted. All our painting reproductions are done in the traditional way the original artist would paint. The oil painting reproductions are usually completed within 2 or 3 weeks, subject to size and drying time. At every stage of the oil painting, it is checked thoroughly by two separate members of our team. For the final step, a highly accomplished senior artist will be called in to offer a professional opinion and render the final approval.
In general, there are 3 main steps to finish an oil painting:
Step 1: Each oil painting starts life as a bare canvas, which is then stretched over the frame and a gesso primer is applied. The painting is then sketch out by the artist and their palette is prepared.
Step 2: The artist will outline the painting with the main parts of color. Then the oil painting is meticulously recreated, brushstroke for brushstroke.
Step 3: Oil painting will be painted in more detail to reflect the spirit of the museum quality painting.
