How to Purchase Paintings?
When purchasing a painting or your first piece of art, it's important to know what interests you, the style of your home, and where you want to place the painting.
It’s as simple as that! What you like, what colors speak to you, and what you relate to, can best enhance your home or space.
Get to Know the Artist
When you are purchasing a painting or paintings, knowing the artist is a “special thing” because you are buying a piece of that artist. You don’t have to necessarily know them in person, but can find information about them. In fact, you should often request a package about the artist that includes their resume, CV, and bio statement. This helps you have an understanding of who that artist is, what they have done, and where they plan to go with their career.
What draws your Attention
When you want to look at a painting for the first time, you want to glean something from it. Find what it is that you like, what draws your attention in the art, and what keeps you interested in it.
When purchasing a painting, always begin with what attracts you, such as the subject matter, color, and size. Art is something you can not duplicate because an original is energy. It has the energy of the artist in it, and that is what you are purchasing.
