The following three factors dictate the final prices we will quote you for an oil painting. This section is a guide and indicator to what you can expect to pay. Pease read it carefully, we want all of our potential clients to be aware of the costs involved.

Original or Reproduction
Original oil paintings will generally cost more than reproductions.

Size
Common sense makes one think, "the larger the painting, the more it will cost." However, there is an economy of scale that plays a part here and choosing a painting twice the size may not necessarily cost twice as much. Conversely, choosing a smaller painting to reduce the cost may not be practical either. When the artist has to paint small and fine details, this means more time and we all know what time costs.

Complexity
The more complex a painting is, the finer the detail, and this will be reflected in the price you should expect to pay. To make things a little easier for you we have divided our price structure into five different complexity categories: O A B C and X, and you will find these codes displayed in the details of each painting.

O: Original paintings of a medium complexity
A: Simple paintings in a Impressionist or loose brush style having no figures
B: More complex paintings in a realistic style with one figure
C: Complex paintings in a realistic style with two figures or more
X: Complicated fine detail paintings with many figures
