If you are a first timer and wish to buy simple and cheap artworks then you can visit various online art sites that have displayed artworks of new and emerging artists. Since we all know paintings of established famous artists artworks go in millions of Dollars one can begin with new artist’s paintings or prints of artworks that are available cheap. Even famous paintings owned by art collectors are put up sometimes for sale and if that is on your wish list you can buy these at auctions. Sotheby's and Christie's regularly hold sale of precious artworks by world famous artists and these can be added to your collection if you are a passionate art collector.  Nothing in art world comes cheap, if it is very cheap its probably a fake and that too of a poor quality. We artists also pay huge amounts buying art materials, resources and the precious time over the years which is invaluable , because that would have been spent on doing something else, with some one with family, friends,  with enjoying entertaining, but there is this inner struggle chaos ideas bombarded in thousand thoughts that need an expression, an outlet, it is actually more than life size, more than 24x7 professionalism! hence the famous quote" when you buy art from an artist know that it is not just paint and paper, it has those thousand hours of work behind this, those moments, those precious life choices, that has come about in that art price, you don't just buy a painting you buy a part of the artist" I would actually cry with every sale and hence till after more than a decade, since year 2000, I had not offered my paintings for sale but guess professional table needs the cash to move and create more happiness's to spread in the world and since i started painting reiki artworks my perspective changed. it was for higher cause and yes, it brings immense joy to see my art transforming so many out there.

once an artist always an artist till death! It is a magical world of the artists where everything and anything is possible. In the end I make art for myself.

You will notice prints and even parts of artworks in progress by Picasso, Mondrian, Henri Matisse, kandinski are offered at times. Art collectors buy these and then with the genuine authenticity certificates build up a fortune for the future generations. Work in progress pieces are also valued later on. Studies and sketches too fetch good prices in art auctions once the artist becomes famous. 

Genuine art collectors are so obsessed with the love of owning paintings of specific artists. it is nothing words can describe. I saw a movie on Netflix about an art collector who make special private room displaying larger pieces of paintings, gallery walls, full of art,  and just sitting there for hours alone observing being surrounded by art. This is mesmerizing and surely takes us into another world  because I myself have my artworks displayed in our home, not a single wall remains! I need to be surrounded by art, I cannot stay in a home with barren walls!

From the eye of the art collector paintings are like honey and they cannot but resist buying more and more. It is an obsession that they accept and live for life. History shows that art collectors have struggled to maintain their collections, some have gone mad and killed themselves, mysterious histories in art you get to read when you research about the art world. It is not just the artists life it is also so much about the art collectors. 

I still am awestruck by the prices these artworks sell on famous art auction sites. Whether these are manipulated or not is a question that remains forever. The art world is always hushed up and mums on this subjects. There are bidders sitting in the room hooked to their phones and laptops busy quoting prices and bids where as the actual art buyers are never in the picture. There are not even mentions of names of the art buyers, I guess due to taxes and other hassles the genuine rich arty collectors never come in the front. Never will you find out the name, I used to see videos of famous art dealers and art sellers on YouTube the stress they go through but the passion of offering an genuine rare costly art price and showing off their priciest collections to rare art buyers and collectors, brings a glint in their eyes, always. 

It is such a beautiful profession of paintings and art selling. The pieces are touched felt cared for and loved like babies and why not, art is such an out of the world experience. Paintings are not luxurious lifestyle products only but they have their own beauty and charm and now with affordable are available people are opting for original paintings because of their energy and personal vibes rather than prints which are machine made. When you will enter my home studio you will see there is no dull moment, every time magic being created, we are 24x7 for our life time artists! We just cannot stop till our death! each piece of paper is a masterpiece made with the same amount of love and passion. Artists have been given the power to create art and leave the world with their original hand made master pieces, artists die…art remains…

What happens inside the art auction rooms is a on the verge spine chilling excitement energy. The people look on higher edge maybe to grab the offer and make the artwork their own, which is actually to buy the pieces for their art buyers. Most people sitting in the art auction room are art agents and art dealers or representatives of the rich unknown art collectors. Art dealers too hang on there to buy good deals and later offer these for sale to genuine art buyers at a good price with profits. Genuine art buyers are usually mostly never seen in the front during art auctions. 

Breaking the record sales Sotheby’s and Christies always have new records with art sales which break the previous records and mention paintings sold at much greater prices. The amounts seem exorbitant and out of this world, but the art world actually is a mirage and nothing to be understood or reasoned much it is a world out of this world. When you follow the closure of deals with the dramatic hammer banging SOLD,  the art pieces are taken away with utmost care. packed carefully in large special gallery yards spaces and shipped secretly to places we do not know. Lots of care is taken in handling caring storing packing of these paintings to be shipped or transported to the art collectors places.  Special crates, boxes and packing materials are required with efficient and qualified professional packers here. Sculptures and antique artifacts and genuine historian furniture pieces require special packing facilities that are custom made for shipping with care. Authenticity art certificates is what differentiates the artworks from fakes. These certificates need to be carefully preserved because they are the proof of originality of the painting. The series on Netflix original Fake or Fortune shows the struggle of finding roots to found paintings and art displayers owners struggling to find its authenticity, because if original the prices are fortune taking the family out of debts bringing so much moolah that generations would flourish,  and if found fake, the same painting absolutely has no value in the art world! 
 Prints are definitely cheaper than the original artworks and you get to take away the same painting look alike home, just a print in very less price. Personally I have stopped offering prints because the whole concept I bring for the art is about healing, energy and customization with every artwork. I guess prints would not do justice to my art. I had my art offered since many decades as prints but now have removed all art from any gallery. Only my original paintings are available from my personal professional art website now.

I have the habit of closely looking at art displayed in hotels restaurants and famous places. Art brings so much beauty to the world, nourishing your soul.  Usually prints are framed, large sizes, and it is so common to see Picasso Kandinski Van Gogh Raza Hussain, print in many places, of course nothing about genuinity is felt. They have gone viral and wide spread around the globe. And what more prints hanging every where have actually made these artworks more famous and even the common man now knows these are works of famous artists. Technology nowadays is so advanced that you have to give a closer second look to identify the original from the print. You can if you are a professional artist get the vibes of original and print immediately. Prints that are genuine are also available with authentication certificate and signed and numbered by the artist. One can buy art prints of paintings directly from the artist if they are living by visiting their website or purchase this from an reputed online art gallery. Prints too are signed by the artist if they are genuine. Many online art websites have sprung up who have no authenticity value of the print offered.

 Paintings of new and emerging artist are low priced as compared to established artists. For the beginner art collector one can go in for a smaller sized artwork as usually they are less priced. Many artists price their artworks according to measurements of the paintings and here you may get a cheap deal online. Paintings on paper and other material may also be less priced as compared to canvas paintings as the materials used are less costly that canvas and oil paints. This is not a general rule and any artist has the freedom to quote their price and wish to price their artworks according to size, materials used or theme and idea behind the artwork. But usually this has been observed that to get a cheap deal in buying paintings the best bet would be to do a good survey of artworks available online and on different art galleries. Physical art galleries' too have exhibitions going on and if you connect to certain subjects and styles of artists who is exhibiting their paintings then you can personally collect them at a negotiable price if offered. See how many artworks fall into your budget category and then select the theme of the painting.

Advantages and Disadvantages of buying art online
Some small online lifestyle products shops and online websites also sell paintings for cheap, but many times they may not provide an authentication certificate. Why it is important to buy art from reputed online art gallery? And also you do know it is an fake at the price offered. You may see a very famous painting of an big artists available at discounted price online and grab this offer, only to find out later that it is a fake/copy. Yes, copy artists, I wonder why they choose this path, they are excellent painters and these have existed from ancient times for copying world famous artists paintings,  as they make exact replicas of famous paintings which is I think applaudable, especially because I cannot make my own art twice, never can I make the same piece again!  Before buying artworks online consider that if the deal looks too cheap then there may be a question if the artwork is original or not. Buying a fake/copy/print artwork would be as good as buying a poster and that can be got from any roadside vendor and cheaper than buying a painting, so why pay more.
Check details! size and materials used and condition of the artworks before clicking the buy now button. There are mentions in details about the art age and condition if it is precious rare painting offered by the gallery for sale. This year I had to take major decisions by letting go of those paintings that were cracked, not healed, or seemed to have some black formations behind, we have to be really careful in resorting old paintings and sorting them in good health till they sell. It may damage other paintings, these were year 2000 paintings very close to my heart.

Ask in detail if you are paying a large sum of money for buying original art. It is also good to recheck the sources where you are buying art from. The total amount to be paid because taxes additional costs GST can be added and that too will amount to a larger sum in the final figure payable.

 Then there is also possibility of sales on different online galleries the artist is represented by. Online art Galleries have their own promotions and sales discounts so you can grab the deal for your favorite art piece. Even artists share discounts and sales from their own artist personal websites so you have to sign up for their new art alerts or updates to find for latest offers and new art uploaded. I have removed my art profiles from all online art galleries', I had my art on Absolute arts and Saatchi art online gallery for more than decades but I have now stopped showcasing my art there. Now my original paintings are available for sale only from my personal professionalart website Razarts.

Original art is always Best and Original! remember if you buy original paintings, that paintings are original hand painted artworks and who knows after few years these simple cheap paintings of some unknown artist, after becoming known and famous, may give very good returns and become one of your best deals! Fake or Fortune? you decide!
