How can I distinguish a genuine hand-painted oil painting from a printed reproduction?

  • Thick, uneven paint brushstrokes

    Real hand-painted artwork has tangible raised paint layers and irregular brush marks across the whole canvas. Prints have flat, smooth surfaces with no texture of paint.
  • Color transition characteristics

    Hand-mixed oil paints create natural, imperfect color gradients. Printed pictures show uniform, mechanical color blocks and tiny digital dot patterns under close observation.
  • Our commitment to eliminate your worry

    All our portraits are 100% hand-painted by professional oil painters. We provide mid-production work-in-progress photos during creation. Every finished order comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

    Guarantee: If you can prove your artwork is printed instead of hand-painted, we offer a full refund plus a free repaint.
