Q: Can I buy original works of art from you?

A: Yes. We have an international art brokerage where artists showcase their original and limited addition art works. Also, you can create your own original oil painting or charcoal drawing by sending in a photograph of your choice.

Q: What can I have painted?

A: We can paint anything you have a photo of. We can do favorite photos, portrait photographs, photos of houses, landscapes, graphics, other paintings, celebrity posters, movie posters, or black and white photographs. Please send your digital photo when inquiring.

Q: Can you create a charcoal drawing from a painting?

A: Yes. Our artist’s are very talented and can replicate any image or painting into a detailed charcoal drawing.

Q: Can you paint or draw my photograph?

A: Absolutely. We are constantly creating original paintings and drawings from pictures that our clients provide. We paint and draw portraits, wedding photos, animals and any photo you desire.

Q: All I have is a hardcopy photograph. Can I mail it to you?

A: Yes. Just send your photograph to our mailing address. Remember to enclose your email address, so we can contact you once it is received. Your photo will be shipped back to you along with your painting. You can also scan your photo and email the image to us for immediate service.

Q: Are your reproductions copyrighted?

A: Our gallery is comprised of artworks found in the public domain, so don’t worry about copyright infringement. However, if you happen to find a work of art in our gallery which you suspect violates a copyright, please contact us immediately.

Q: Does the artist sign the artwork?

A: No, but if you would like your painting or drawing signed by the artist just let us know.

Q: What does it mean to maintain image proportion?

A: To maintain image proportion means to avoid distortion by using accurate dimensional variations of the original image. In most cases, the preferred size will not need to be altered, but if changes do need to be made to maintain accurate proportion, we will automatically slightly vary the desired size at no additional cost. This applies to oil on canvas reproductions ONLY. If you do not want to maintain image proportion simply request for an EXACT size in our suggestion box upon checkout, and we will proceed accordingly.

Q: Can I request any size of painting?

A: Of Course. You may choose from the various sizes listed on our order form, or you can request a special custom size. There is no limit to what our artist can do. However, to maintain accurate image proportion on your oil reproduction, sizes may slightly vary at no additional cost, unless you want an exact size. Please note- if you prefer an exact size, for example an original 30”x 40” replicated into a 24” x 48”, the image(s) will be altered or cropped to fit the desired size.

Q: Will my reproduction painting look exactly like the original?

A: Our artists are very talented at painting reproductions and use the same techniques and styles as the original artists. However, no two paintings ever look EXACTLY alike. Not even the master painters from centuries past could make two paintings look exactly the same- incorporating the exact colors into every detail. Nevertheless, we will get extremely close to the original, and all details will be integrated. Please view our Testimonials page to see examples of our artwork.

Q: How long does it take to receive my artwork?

A: Between two and three weeks. Our artists will spend between 7 and 14 business days creating your masterpiece. Painting with oil on canvas can be complicated and is time consuming. The artist will spend a bit more time on your painting if it is a special custom size exceeding the largest size listed on our order form or if it is extremely complex. At no additional cost, we will ship by UPS the painting or drawing upon completion and will email you a tracking number. Shipping takes 4-7 days depending on your location.
