- What are oil painting reproductions?
Oil painting reproductions are hand made recreations of original paintings. The originals are made by well-known and respected artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and many more. Reproductions allow you to own a replica of a masterpiece that could only be afforded by the very rich. Many of the originals could only be found in world famous art museums. A reproduction is your chance of owning magnificent art at an affordable price.
- Does the reproduction look exactly like the picture on this web page?
The pictures on this website are of the paintings that we own. However, you must take into account that the view of your computer screen can cause a slight distortion of the colors. Also when we receive more than one unit of the same painting there is always a small difference between each of them. The oil paintings on theArtOutlet.com are hand made and therefore some variation is always a possibility.
- Are the oil paintings made by a computer or are they hand made?
The oil paintings on this website are entirely hand made. They are not machine generated. Individual artists make these paintings. Brush stroke by brush stroke these artists duplicate masterpieces that belong in some of the worlds greatest museums.
- Does the reproduction look exactly like the original?
At theArtOutlet the reproductions are made by hand. We examine the works that we acquire very carefully. We make sure that our reproductions contain the same brushstrokes and techniques used by the original artist. However, since the paintings are made by hand and are not computer generated there is always a slight variation between the reproduction and the original.
- What is the difference between your oil paintings and the prints I see everywhere else?
The prints that you can find on many sites on the Internet and in many stores are just printed images of original paintings. The oil paintings on theArtOutlet are actual hand-made reproductions. These paintings are made by talented artists who replicate works of art made by some of the world’s greatest masters. This is your opportunity to own a hand-made masterpiece. - Why would I buy a reproduction?
Reproductions are an opportunity for the general public to actually see and even own some of the otherwise unaffordable and often safely stored away art masterpieces. Whether it is a Monet in your living room that helps to educate and expose your children to art, or it is a Van Gogh in your office's reception area, these hand painted masterpieces will not only draw great attention, but they will add sophistication to your walls and rooms.
- Why are your prices so low?
theArtOutlet specializes in providing low cost, hand painted oil paintings. We have an unmatched ability to purchase paintings at a low price and instead of increasing our profit we transfer the savings to our customers. Buying from theArtOutlet gives you the opportunity to purchase oil paintings at the wholesale price. - If I order a painting with a frame would I get the painting framed and ready to hang on my wall?
YES. When you order both a frame and a painting we stretch your painting on stretcher bars. Then we frame the painting and put all the necessary hardware for you to hang your painting on your wall. - Can I order my painting unframed?
Yes you can. It is your choice if you would like theArtOutlet to frame your painting or if you would like to order an unframed painting. If you just order a painting without the frame we would roll the canvas and ship it to you in a tube. You would save about $40 to $80 buying your painting framed with us when compared to having your local frame shop frame it. - Can I order my painting framed?
YES! theArtOutlet has a great selection of beautiful frames. Go to our Frames Gallery and pick the frame of your choice. Your painting will be shipped stretched, framed, and ready to hung on your wall. - What does free stretching mean?
In order to have your painting framed it first has to be stretched across stretcher bars. If you purchase your painting along with a frame, theArtOutlet will stretch the painting for free. Your local frame shop will charge you anywhere from $20 to $40 to stretch the oil painting you just bought. - How long will I have to wait for my painting?
Your painting usually gets shipped to you within 24 hours (on week-days). If you choose FedEx Ground as your shipping method, it will arrive within 3 to 5 business days. - What precautions are taken to ship the painting safely to the customer?
Due to the caliber of the product, we take extra care to ship it to you safely. If you choose to frame your painting than it is packaged in a double wall box. It is packed using styrofoam inserts and bubble wrap. If you choose not to frame your painting than it is shipped rolled inside a FedEx tube with paper tissue for additional protection. - How much are the shipping charges?
Shipping is FREE if you choose FedEx Ground as your shipping option. Other shipping options are FedEx 2 Day and FedEx Overnight and those charges are displayed when you checkout. - What is your Return Policy?
theArtOutlet has a 30- Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your art you are welcome to return it for a full refund of the purchase price (refund does not include shipping, if applicable). The above return policy does not apply to special orders. There are no returns for special orders. - Do you charge sales tax?
