The Art Reproduction Difference
What separates a hand-painted oil reproduction from a printed canvas: real brushwork, real thickness of paint, and a surface that changes with the light.
What separates a hand-painted reproduction from a print, and why it matters on the wall.
A print is ink on a surface
A printed canvas is an image sprayed onto fabric. Held at arm’s length it can look convincing. Up close there is no relief, no brush direction and no variation in the thickness of the paint, because there is no paint.
A painting has a surface you can see
Oil paint sits on the canvas. It catches light differently depending on where you stand, and the artist’s brushwork is visible in the same way it is visible on the original. That is what your eye reads as a painting rather than a picture of one.
Why we only do it this way
Every painting is reproduced by hand in oils on linen canvas by an artist who specialises in that style. Our artists have graduated from art colleges and the majority have more than fifteen years of professional experience.
What that means for you
A hand-painted reproduction costs more than a print and takes longer to produce. In exchange you get an object that behaves like a painting, because it is one.
Choose rolled canvas, included in the price, stretched and ready to hang for £75, or a fully framed artwork quoted to your specification. Delivery is free worldwide.
