FAQs
About Our Handcrafted Oil Painting Replicas
Will my oil painting look exactly like the website photo?
While our website images are highly accurate representations, oil paintings must truly be seen in person to appreciate the incredible detail, rich colors, and intricate textures in every handcrafted masterpiece. As each piece is individually hand-painted by an artist, you can expect some minor variations from the website photo. However, we guarantee your painting will be exponentially more beautiful in real life.
How can you offer such affordable pricing?
As one of the largest suppliers of museum-quality, hand-painted oil paintings, we have tremendous global sourcing power. We travel the world to commission thousands of paintings directly from master artists, eliminating middlemen and massive markups. Our huge scale allows us to pass significant savings directly to you.
Are your oil paintings entirely hand-painted?
Yes, we guarantee each and every oil painting is completely hand-painted from start to finish by highly skilled artists using premium materials. Our pieces are never machine-generated, printed reproductions, canvas transfers, or computer-generated copies. No printing or digital techniques are ever used.
Every painting begins as a blank canvas that an exceptionally talented master artist then meticulously paints brushstroke-by-brushstroke until the masterpiece is complete.
How long will my hand-painted oil painting last?
With proper care and handling, your museum-quality, hand-painted oil painting can last for generations. The premium artist-grade oils and canvases we use are made to withstand the test of time. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and extreme temperatures for best preservation.
Shipping & Returns
What is the delivery time?
The total span of time required for the complete delivery of your order is the overarching period from the moment you place your request until the precise instant you receive your purchased item. This all-inclusive timeframe generally extends across a duration of 4 to 5 weeks, though variations may arise due to factors such as artist availability, the intricate complexity of the particular painting, potential delays experienced during shipping transit, and the geographic distance to the final delivery destination. This comprehensive total delivery timeline is composed of two key segments - the processing time period and the subsequent shipping time window.
What is the processing time?
- The processing time for handmade oil painting reproductions is the period from when you place your order to when the handpainted oil painting leaves our studio. Processing initiates once payment is received. It includes order processing and the handpainting process, encompassing painting and drying phases.
- For handmade oil painting reproductions, the processing generally takes 2-3 weeks, but may extend up to 4 weeks depending on artist availability and the complexity of the handpainted oil painting reproduction. Very large or intricate handmade oil painting reproduction orders could require up to 8 weeks.
- Please note:Β Oil paint, used for handmade oil painting reproductions, is a slow-drying medium consisting of pigments suspended in drying oil. Drying speed varies based on humidity and weather changes. Your handmade oil painting reproduction is built with multiple layers of oil paint, each requiring full drying before the next application. As weather is unpredictable, precisely estimating when the handpainted oil painting reproduction will be dry enough for shipping is imprecise.
How's your Shipping Packaging?
At Art&See, we prioritize delivering your orders in pristine condition. Each oil painting replica is meticulously packaged using high-quality materials that ensure maximum protection during transit. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our packaging process:
- Multiple preservation varnishes are applied to safeguard the painting's longevity.
- A protective sheet and film cover the surface, shielding it from scratches or damage.
- The painting is carefully rolled into a durable, reinforced tube for secure shipping.
If your order includes multiple items, they will be shipped separately in their respective appropriate packaging to prevent any potential damage. You won't be charged additional shipping fees for this separate handling.
Rest assured, our expert packaging techniques guarantee your oil painting replica arrives at your doorstep in immaculate condition, ready for you to admire and display.

Returns
What is your money-back guarantee policy?
We offer an unconditional 45-day money-back guarantee on all our museum-quality oil painting replicas. If you're not completely satisfied upon receiving your order, simply return it within one year for a full refund of the purchase price, minus the actual shipping costs. Further personalize your painting or choose a refund, less a small logistics fee ($35 on average).Β If you decide to return the painting for a refund, please note that you will need to cover the return shipping costs. Unfortunately, due to the high expense of shipping frames, frame purchases are final and are not eligible for refunds. While you can return the painting itself, the frame must remain with you, as the costs involved in shipping frames are prohibitively high.
Do you provide a warranty on craftsmanship and materials?
Absolutely. Your purchase is backed by our lifetime warranty, covering any defects in artistry, craftsmanship, or materials used in creating your oil painting replica. If your painting suffers damage from normal use, we'll repair or replace it free of charge.
How do I initiate a return or exchange?
Returning a painting is simple - just contact our customer service team, and we'll provide a prepaid return shipping label. Once we receive your return, we'll promptly process a refund, replacement, or revision per your preference.
How can I verify the authenticity of my painting?
Every genuine hand-painted oil painting replica from our studio includes an official Certificate of Authenticity. This certifies your purchase as an original work created by one of our talented artists using premium oil paints and canvases.
