How to Buy a Picture? Practical Tips

Have you decided to buy a painting? Read it!

On modern sites for the sale of paintings you will find thousands of motifs, usually divided into thematic categories. For the convenience in search of a picture, avoid sites where the motives are not divided into categories. On the sites involved in the sale of paintings, you can buy paintings on order or choose among ready-made motifs. Very good when you can choose the motive, and only then decide what technique of execution we are interested in.

What should I enter into the search engine in order to find exactly the picture you want?

Try not to enter just the phrase picture. You will find many sites with themes - which are related to paintings, but not engaged in sales.

The best way is to enter the phrase picture and category in which you can find the pictures you need, for example:

- paintings flowers

- pictures landscapes

- pictures of nature

If you still do not know what category you are interested in, I advise you to try - paintings for interior, modern paintings, paintings for sale (sale of paintings in Moscow, online paintings, sale of paintings in St. Petersburg).

Techniques of execution: hand-painted. Paintings performed by a professional artist is a classic, which will never become obsolete. These pictures are suitable not only for classical rooms, but also for modern ones, it is enough to choose a suitable frame. These paintings are more expensive, but this is a manual work that will be relevant for many decades.

Print on canvas . Some designers believe that modern paintings are more suitable for painting printed on canvas. In this there is some truth - these images look extremely modern. When buying such a picture, remember that not all seals on the canvas are the same. If you get UV (ultraviolet) printing, your picture will hang for years, keeping brightness and color. In addition - you can wipe it with a wet sponge, which turns it into an ideal element of the design of the children's room.
This technique can be slightly embellished - covering it with a colorless gel. Thanks to this it will look like a hand-painted.

The last, the so-called cry of fashion in the interior design is a seal on the organic glass (print on plexiglas), the so-called plexiglass. The technique is extremely popular in the west of Europe. Great for modern offices. On the glass is printed the right image - for example Picasso, under the glass is a white foam, through which the image is gaining the necessary shades. As fasteners, metal, chrome-plated elements are used, giving the picture in this form a unique brilliance.

What motives to choose? This question is certainly a matter of taste - but remember that the motive must match not only your taste, but also your interior. The most popular motifs are at the moment - abstractions and reproductions of great artists - both world and domestic. In addition, parents increasingly buy paintings for their children, because of which children's motives are becoming more popular.
You can not forget about the motives with flowers - for today, poppy and magnolia are in great demand . Magnolias perfectly fit into modern interiors.
For large interiors, I advise you to choose a triptych (a picture consisting of 3 parts), on a gallery stretcher (width 3 cm).


For premises executed in a modern style - the most suitable will be printing on plexiglass.
For a cozy, domestic hearth - hand painting, preferably in a neat frame.

I wish you successful purchases!
