Original Art Oil

Original Art Oil

Examples of Master Class copyists defined:

Andrea del Sarto's copy of his Raphael's portrait of Pope Julius ll does not lack the quality of the original.

Rembrand's copy of Holbein's drqwing of an English Lady, has not been made to resemble the original as closely as possible.

Ruben's copy of his Leonardo's Battle of Anghiari does not show an over careful halting line and soggy treatment of form.

Goya's copy, or adoption, of Flaxman's outline does not show lines of any less free and sure than from the work he is stealing.

Thus we may ascertain that not all copies and their attributes of reproductions are created equal even by the great master artists:

- Of the same quality as our model

- Not necessarily to resemble the original as closely as possible

- Free of halting lines and soggy forms

- Contains lines as free and sure as those set down by an artist in the freshness of creation or observation.

How do I sell my art? (I purchased them, didn't paint myself)?

Without resorting to ebay...how could I sell my art collection? They're all original oil paintings that I paid well over $1000 for. I'm having a hard time advertising them. Is there such a thing as a company who buys art, then would turn around and sell the pieces? I'm not looking to make much back on them. The right person could make a decent profit...

There's also a web-site where you meet face-to-face called craigslist.com and you sell your stuff locally and art collectors are always on it looking to pay big bucks for classy stuff.

Beware though of people trying to scam you saying you send the art and then the money will come.. or they're try to give you a lame story about their priest dying and needing the paiting for donations.

Hopefully it works out!
