It is important that you buy art from reputed online galleries and professional artist. why? Online art galleries are flourishing as people are buying art online. Right from cheaper art prints to affordable new artists artworks and even established precious collectors loved art pieces, all original art is available online.
Reliability of the art gallery - again a very important point to consider before buying paintings online. It is advisable to purchase paintings from a reputed and well known art gallery. Here you buy original artworks and also get authentication certificates signed and dated by the artist. Many websites have sprung up in past decade and collect artists free and then may dupe you of your money luring art sales. Google search to buy spiritual paintings or reiki paintings feng shui paintings you will be loaded with so many shopping sites selling paintings that are mere abstracts and have nothing to do with feng shuii vaastu or symbolism. they just give the titles to sell art quickly and come up in search engine.
Other sources like common platforms and social media art groups like face book groups Instagram groups hashtags may sell artworks at a cheaper rate but you may also be at a risk of purchasing an fake artwork, which may at first seem like a really good bargain, but if you had wanted a real original piece, than you are at a loss! as you pay much more value for the fake, copy of the painting.
You also have a buy back guarantee in case you are not satisfied by the art with a reputed online art gallery and their sales procedures are clear and on paper. Most dangerous is you buy thousands of dollars worth artwork without checking the authenticity and end up buying a print or fake version. Remember fake artwork or copy of world famous paintings have zero value in art market.
Most of the times what is happening is also that you purchase an artwork for a lower price and then when you receive it is is a blurred not such a good quality art print as shown in the photo on website. there is always some difference in clarity colours in photos and real artwork. Do check what you are buying...the price will be according to this. whether it is an art print, canvas print, gallery wrapped canvas, framed or not framed, original painting on paper or canvas so that you are prepared and know what you pay for and what you get. There were times and yet people do visit art galleries and then buy original art. But sometimes your favorite artist might be from a different country! I have sold most of my paintings to Singapore, Dubai, UK, and very few to Mumbai art lovers. They have bought my art from my personal art website being in the art making profession since year 2000.
With a reputed established online art gallery they have a team of assistant curators who help you, guide you and suggest artworks according to your tastes ,budget and decor. I also get emails when buyers want to buy specific intentions art, or have to gift on important occasions and they ask for suggestions so I short list a few according to the budget they offer.
It is also advisable to choose professional artists as you buy original art. Professional artists have been in the art field selling art since more than decades and have their own professional artists website. The artists who sell form only social media are not serious artists, they make few paintings and are in the field for easy quick money. If you want to have value art and wish to invest in art then check the history of the artist online before buying. Google search and social media searches will give you data about the professional portfolio and artworks of any artist. many art collectors personally visit the artists studio and buy original art directly from the artist. I have had art buyers from Dubai who visited after one purchase to my studio for the next buying. India, Mumbai and Thane city art buyers also come personally on fixing a prior appointment as looking at art original art is a totally different experience trust me! the sparkle in their eyes is really what I strive for! It is the touch the feel the vision of original painting, the smell of paper and paint, there is so much to original art buying directly from artist studio. What more they save so much shipping costs!
I would actually give 30 to fifty percent concession on art prices to avoid packing and shipping hassles!
Buying original art is costly hence it is better to be cautious as you are going to spend money and also would want the art you love. Do give a check on the web for art galleries that have a wide range of artworks from around the globe and also those that have consistently completed art sales over past many years. Reviews are great to check about art online galleries' if you choose to buy art from there.
Remember buying art online is one happy experience,
I read with so much excitement my art buyers emails on sending a painting who
wait impatiently to receive their bundles of joy from art sales! make this a happy experience
and visit my professional artist website for the paintings you buy online!
