Not everyone can afford to buy a genuine John Sargent or a Van Gogh. The truth is that art lovers all over the world have started buying quality art reproductions to decorate their homes and offices to get a feel of the ?real thing?. Although there are various techniques to reproduce art, the most common technique is photographing authentic art and creating high quality prints of the images. The problem with photographic techniques is that the art reproduction can never reproduce the same colours or textures as a hand painted replica. In fact, when it comes to art reproductions photographic technique are considered obsolete.

Apart from photographic reproduction, a newer technique used for making art reproductions is canvas prints. Using advanced imaging techniques and the latest in printing, it is now possible to print images directly on to canvas. Canvas reproductions have become increasingly popular with art lovers, and people looking for a cost effective means of owning canvas based art reproductions have started turning to canvas prints. Canvas prints can offer an authentic look and feel, but they cannot match the textured look of oil paintings. In fact, when it comes to art reproductions nothing can match the texture and finish of a hand made art reproduction.

Advantages of hand painted replicas

A big advantage of hand painted replicas is that they are the closest thing to the original. In fact, some replicas are so good that museums and art owners have to take special precautions to ensure that the art reproductions can never match the original. (A popular technique employed by museums is hiding the borders of original paintings so that the replica can be easily identified by looking at the borders of the painting.)

Apart from offering high quality replicas, a hand painted art reproduction can be made in various sizes. Contrary to popular belief, an art lover can order popular paintings in various sizes and most art reproductions are made such that they maintain their aspect ratio while they are ?resized?. The fact that art reproductions can be resized also makes them affordable.
