Reviews

What productions say

Two of the 513 verified reviews on Reviews.io.

  • High quality oil painting delivered on time. Ordered a painting from a wide selection and it came within a few weeks. I needed to chat with support to get the project completed earlier than planned and they were super accommodating. When the painting came, the packaging was top notch and the artist had done a spectacular job in terms of fidelity to the original. Totally recommend Art & See for high quality oil paintings. Thanks!

  • Painting from a picture. The painting from picture was superbly done by the artist. There was a concern with the colors, which turned out to be lighting when the photo was taken for our approval. We are 5-star happy with the painting.

Questions

Questions productions ask before they order

Can we clear the artwork for broadcast?

We paint public domain works only, so there is no rights chain and no licensing risk on the artwork itself. Run your own clearance process as usual, but the painting in shot carries no licence to chase and no rights holder to find.

What is the fastest you can deliver?

The easel takes about 3 weeks, stretching to 4 weeks on complex work, and shipping adds 3 to 10 days. Expedited production is available on request. Send the shoot date with your list so the quote is built against it.

Can you paint a work that is not in your catalog for a specific set?

Yes, at the same wholesale pricing. Any public domain painting is produced from a photograph or a description. Custom sizes up to 72 in are quoted within 24 hours, so a piece can be built to a specific set dressing.

What does a hero piece cost?

A 48 by 72 in canvas is 1,150 dollars retail, which is 920 dollars at the two to four pieces tier and 805 dollars at the ten to nineteen tier, or 690 dollars from twenty pieces. Framing is priced separately by size and takes the same discount.
