  With natural texture, vibrancy, and a sense of luxury a real oil painting makes a great original focal point in any environment. Created with the highest quality materials oil paintings will not only look superior to any print, they will also last longer.

  

• Hanging your painting:

  Oil painting reproductions are dispatched un-stretched and un-framed. They come with plenty of excess canvas so they can be easily framed or stretched.

  The most common way is to stretch your painting over wooden stretcher bars. The images below illustrate two ways this could be done with blank canvas sides or with painted sides.

  

  You can either get your painting stretched or framed at a local framing store or stretch it yourself easily and cheaply by doing it yourself following our online guide.
