Basically, we don't. By a diversity of factors we decided to offer each painting only in the sizes and qualities as indicated. However, you can send us a request about ordering a painting in an alternative size or quality.

Economy Quality: this level is a general reproduction of the elements, colors, shades and details of the original. Retail quality lacks the precise care to the details of the painting. The color and shades will be similar but distinctly different even to the untrained eye. The caliber of the oil paints and the canvases are medium quality. These are the quality of paintings that are suitable to offer to budgeted customers.

Medium Quality: these are, compared with the High Quality level, a bit less in richness of coloring and detailing. The matching of elements such as paint tone and brush stroke features is still excellent and done with the finest materials.

High Quality: this level of reproduction is virtual impossible to distinguish from the original. All the details have been painstakingly duplicated and only the most trained eye can make a distinction between the original and its impostor. Materials such as paints and canvas are exactly matched to the original. Shades, coloring and details are identical.

No, the displayed pictures on this site are the original grand master artworks. Every reproduction you order will be painted by an experienced and very skilled artist.

All our oil painting reproductions are 100% hand painted from scratch by experienced and talented artists based in the Chinese province of Fujian.

The reason is very simple: we supply you from the source. You do not pay any middleman! No importers, no distributors, no salesmen in between. We supply you straight from the artist's studios.

Although they do anything to disguise the fact in their wonderfully written 'About Us' sections, we can guarantee you that the oil painting distributors in your country, do in fact import their entire merchandise from China, in majority from the area around Shenzhen and the province of Fujian. All of them do.

What we offer is to supply you directly and thus skip the middleman. This middleman (the importer or distributor, mostly combined) takes the majority of the amount you pay for the paintings for him. We can guarantee you that this middleman is completely unnecessary, and that you can easily skip him. When you choose us as your supplier you'll pay only a fraction of what you are used to and we'll send you the same or even better quality paintings right from the studios to your front door.
