How to Choose a Painting

How to Choose a Painting.

There is massive information in books and in the net about how to choose a painting.According to my experience, there are two kind of art buyers:The emotional ones, those who suddenly fall in love or feel an inexplicable impact by a painting. They buy by intuition and passion. They are not worried at all about the location at home and colour matches with their furniture. Sometimes they simply leave the painting against a wall while waiting for the inspiration about the final placement. If you are concerned about the colours of your room, the armchairs or the curtains and their possible combination with a painting, you belong to the second group of buyers, a lot more rational and less interested in art. Any decoration magazine will provide you directions on choosing a painting that matches with the colour of your curtains.
If you can afford it buy originals where you can. The up and coming artists works are very well priced. Try local art shows, avoid art galleries the price is hiked to pay for there posh galleries. You can access the artists through Google and contact them direct. Or try www.artsability.co.uk.
Buy what you like! don't give houseroom to something that someone else thinks you should buy.
Be careful what medium you buy, if you move house be very careful how you pack, We suggest acrylic on canvas its more forgiving than paper.
