Sophisticated and well-made oil paintings contribute a lot to a home’s decoration. It adds a lot of value. Unfortunately, most people cannot afford spending thousands of dollars on original paintings. That’s why art lovers are now discovering oil painting reproductions as a cheaper alternative. Oil painting reproduction sites like a1reproductions.com offer exceptional handmade oil paintings reproductions at affordable prices. Purchasing the right oil painting can be a very rewarding experience and add a lot of pleasure to your home, but finding a reliable and economic source is challenging. But there are a few things to look out for when buying oil paintings and reproductions.
1. Don’t get ripped off by your local gallery. Art, especially those that require tremendous artistry or labor to produce, are very expensive. Local galleries buy their art from factories like a1reproductions.com and sell at a tremendous markup. Shop around online. You’ll find surprising prices. Depending on which site to buy from, they are generally very good quality.

2. Flexible return policy determines quality. Regardless of where you purchase art, you want to make sure that there is a good return policy. Having a return policy like a1reproductions.com and overart.com, provides customers the assurance that they are confident in the quality of their product. Defected or poor quality oil paintings usually start to show signs of deterioration fairly quick (within the 1st month), so be sure to ask for a flexible return policy.

3. Limited selection results in impulsive buying that you’ll regret later. We all hear of horror stories of people who spend thousands of dollars on an oil painting only to discover that they chose the wrong piece. Art is as personal of a purchase as it is to choosing a pet. Having worked in the art industry for over 30 years, we hear of so many cases of people buying art under impulse. This usually results from a limited selection. Local galleries offer extremely limited selections while purchasing from a reliable online company may offer hundreds, even thousands, of paintings to choose from. Do the research before buying! You will have to look at it every day.

4. Beware of poor websites offering oil paintings for sale. There are hundreds of websites that offer oil paintings reproductions, but there are only a handful of legitimate ones. Since 80% of the world’s paintings are produced in China (yes, even the ones at the local galleries), there are many sites that claim to produce great quality paintings and offer money back, but in reality don’t honor either. Oil reproductions still require tremendous skill and effort. It is by no means an easy task. Make sure they are professional painters and research the website for testimonials and reviews. Do your due diligence. I can recommend a1reproductions.com and overart.com.

5. See the details for yourself. If you do decide to purchase an oil painting online, be sure you get a chance to see the full and high res image of the piece you intend to buy. If its unavailable, make sure you ask the website your purchasing from to provide you with one.

The last thing I want for this article to do is discourage you to buy oil paintings, whether at your local gallery or online. But please be very careful and consider all aspects of the piece, and more importantly, the source your buying from
