How we paint

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.

How we pack


Our oil paintings are shipped rolled in a sturdy tube ready for stretching and/or framing by your local outlet.

We do not sell frames with the painting. There are reasons for this.
  • Frames are very personal and we leave the decision to you.
  • Every home has its own design and architectural characteristic, therefore it is usually best that our customers choose and decide the frame to match their decoration.

However, all paintings are prepared with a large clean white border 4cm (1.6"} so that your local framer can easily stretch your painting. This also means that paintings can be stretched over the wooden frame, with or without the requirement of a decorative frame. It also offers a very contemporary method of display with the added advantage of being an economic option!
