Art Reproductions As Good as the Original - even the experts can tell them apart!
Introducing Brushstrokes®…The New Original.
In the last hundred years, there has been a great divide in the art world. On the one hand we have master artists painting incredible originals; on the other hand, we have art publishers trying to find ways to reproduce these originals. Throughout, art publishers have been trying to reduce this gap. Although some advancement has been made, the quality of reproductions has greatly lagged with respect to capturing the intrinsic nuances of color, light and texture inherent in the originals…until now…
Welcome to Brushstrokes®…The New OriginalBrushstrokes® is a revolutionary new art form that fully captures the exquisite color, shadows and every stroke of the artist's brush in three dimensional detail. In a side-by-side comparison, even the most discerning eye will find little difference between a Brushstrokes® image and the original oil-on-canvas. Faithful to the artist's vision, the result is amazing — an authentic painting that is closer to the original than any other reproduction. So much so, that we call it…The New Original.
The Making of a Brushstrokes®Brushstrokes® offers the unique combination of modern day technology and Old World craftsmanship. We start with a proprietary process that captures with incredible accuracy, all the vibrant and subtle colors of the original painting as well as the depth, sweep and force of each of the artist's brush strokes. This information is then used with our patented process to create a painting on canvas with three-dimensional texture, rich in authentic colors that are indistinguishable from the original.
At this stage in its creation a Brushstrokes® is far superior to any other reproduction including Giclees. This is only the beginning. Our master artists, academy trained from some of the finest art schools in the world, apply a variety of special finishes to each painting to allow the light in your home to highlight its vibrancy and beauty, as well as to provide protection to the finished product.
For limited editions we go one step further and apply genuine oil paint to selected areas of the painting to enhance the three-dimensional texture. Each work becomes an original while still remaining faithful to the artist's original creation. In our Signature Collection the original artists hand sign the Brushstrokes® version of their work. No other reproductive process, that we know of, comes close to a Brushstrokes®…The New Original.

Oil paintings are one decoration to really enhance your decor. Oil painting is an art form with terminology that may seem intimidating at first. In order to help you narrow your selection of paintings, this article will discuss different sorts of oil paintings that you might want to add to your own collection. Types we'll discuss include landscape, still life, and so forth.
1. Landscape paintings: this category speaks for itself. Except for vague images in the background, humans and animals should not appear in the paintings. Keep the focus on beautiful natural landscape. Paintings featuring the beach, lake, or coastline make an interesting subcategory of water landscape paintings. Other important qualities distinguish landscape paintings, such as the use of light and color, and the particular genre, whether it is impressionism or naturalism.
2. Portraiture: this painting style focuses on people, shown close up and realistically. A subtype is animal portraiture when the painting features a family pet or other non-human, also close up as a rule. Extreme styles are the exception because the concept is realism and great attention is paid to detailing the subtleties of facial structure, body composition and the setting the subject poses in.
3. Still Life: these oil paintings are close-range renditions of objects, often arranged on a table or other flat surface. Traditional subjects of still lives might include fruit, glassware, flowers, and other objects often arranged on a table. Like with portraiture, most still life painters focus on realistic details over impressionistic technique.
4. Abstract : These types of oil painting don't specifically focus on just a bit of realism. Here, the artist in question tries to create an aesthetic balance between shapes and colors, for visual interest as well as communicating a mood or a feeling. There are many different styles of abstract art, so it is critical to attempt to match the color and visual appeal of the art to the rest of the decor in your home.
It does not matter if you desire original paintings or giclee copies, there are plenty of pieces available and you will find something to match your taste.
