Does anyone know where I can buy Quality Oil Paintings on the Internet?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are willing to spend and what you consider quality oil paintings. There are many on-line galleries that host an array of artists. There are also on-line databases that house artist directories and samples of their artwork. For one Saatchi Gallery http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/ is a great website that has numerous artists offering works of art for sale. Another site to visit is http://www.askart.com/AskART/index.aspx This site offers information for 52,000 American artists-works for sale, works available through auction, etc. Ebay is an OK source for artwork. If you are looking to get some original work cheap, that would be the place to go. But be mindful, what you pay for is what you get. Most artwork offered through Ebay is of marginal quality.

Answer 2

There are hundreds, probably thousands of art websites out there that showcase artwork, and you can buy over many of these. Just google 'original art' and see how many come up.

If you're looking for reproductions of famous artworks, then you should look at museum/gallery websites, but I think that originality is always best and that you should buy artwork that you like.

The problem with e-bay is that there are a lot of hobby painters trying to sell their work though these, so it's not always the nicest or most original work.

I have stuff on NewIrishArt.com if you're interested, but there is lots there. And a very valuable tip: because you have to live with this artwork, it is much better to only buy what you absolutely love.

Answer 3

Check out eBay. The prices are usually cheaper than dedicated art sites. I should know, as I sell oil paintings there! Take a look - my id is under skirrow2 but there are many others.

Hi Pagreen
My art teacher is John Constable. Great Grandson of said same.
I therefore have a small range of Constables on the boat, of a Neo variety.
In oil.
Call me back, as I am a bit fed up with some of the original oil Constables, which he did give to me, and certainly not pleased with my oil copies.
Oh, they are OK.

I don't know, say
£50 apeice ?

A search under fine art galleries will yield many results, but it helps if you have a budget and style you are looking for.

Many fine galleries carry contemporary masters and the prices can be high, because it is expected that their work will appreciate in value.

Other galleries handle up-and-coming artists who are less well known, but who are much more affordable. It helps to do your homework here, and can be fun. Almost all major galleries, as well as less reputable galleries have web access now.

Good luck, and happy hunting.

Answer 6

Try ebay.

You can find some really high quality paintings for a fraction of the price you would have to pay in an art gallery.

For example:

This would need to be an abstract painting, as I don't think anyone has seen the internet.
