5 Tips for selection of paintings online


Online art galleries have a wide range of artworks available for sale and the buyer is confused as to which painting to purchase. If the decision of displaying an artwork is done then there are a few important points one must consider before going in for the purchase of paintings online.

1) Budget - most important. As paintings are available in different price ranges it is very necessary to fix an budget price you can comfortably spend on buying art works.
2) How many paintings do you require? do you wish to display on your living room wall an exclusive artwork or you are interested in displaying art in every room of your home. Even corporates need to select paintings  for their offices so they can select artworks or prints according to their budget and number of paintings required.
3) Size of paintings - this is the most important point which is very often overseen by the buyers of artworks and they land up with a huge painting or a very small one. It is most important to see the details of the paintings given on the website before purchasing the artwork.
4) Colour scheme in the painting - Think about the colours used in the paintings and then remember the wall on which it has to be displayed. If they are in harmony or contrast well and good but if there is too much clash with the home interior decor then you will end up feeling restless and your artwork however expensive a painting it may be becomes a misfit on your wall.
5) 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.
Other sources may sell artworks at a cheaper rate but you may also be at a risk of purchasing an fake artwork.
Hope this helps!
Happy Painting!

Internet and Online Paintings


Since the era of the internet has arrived art is also not left behind. There are many art sites that display artworks online and even sell artworks. Let us explore the vast universe of the internet and art.
Many artists are now aware of the internet and are willing to display their works online. This has become very easy as the images in JPEG form are uploaded and the viewer gets to see the artworks without physically going to the art gallery or the art store. There are many well known art galleries that are now going online. The reason for this is they get global exposure. This is very essential for any market that they get a wide range of viewers and sellers. The internet is the easiest way to get global business and global exposure.

The only consideration coming up here is the transport and shipping cost required to send the home delivery to the customer. Sometimes the art galleries also add commissions for maintaining their websites. To avoid this many artists have their own websites and once the public gets to know these sites the sales of paintings becomes very easy. Each artist have their own clientele that like their works and style of paintings and the internet helps them to be updated with the latest works of that artist.
Check reputed art sites and established artists websites to buy paintings because there are thousands of fake art galleries' and sites sprung up now. Buy art from secure sites only.
You also need to be careful to maintain the copyright of your artworks. Have a logo or watermark on every image so that it is not freely available as art prints. I have had many artists copy my paintings but we can't help this, its their own karma. I have started watermarking my art images.

On my website I have a one price quoted and there are no extra charges whatso ever. Shipping, and Gst are not added on purchase, there is a single quoted price for every painting on sale and you pay only that amount on purchasing my art. I am not selling art from any other website or art gallery and and my artworks are available for sale only through my website razarts.com
All the Best from Rizwana!
