Will the colours on my monitor be the same as the original painting?
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the images on the website match the paintings sometimes this is not possible because of lighting, varnish on the painting or individual computer setting. Many of our paintings use metallic and textured paint, this unfortunately cannot be captured on camera,. In this case we will state the use of metallic or textured paint on the required painting description. Paintings on the website may seem quite ‘flat’, in reality our artwork is slightly textured, the 3D liners help make the painting 3 dimensional.
