Our oil painting reproductions are a service/product that makes The Untapped Source different from nearly every other art distributor on the planet. For the price of what many art sellers would sell a print on canvas, The Untapped Source provides the amazing look and quality of hand painted oil paintings on canvas.

Oil painting reproductions are hand made recreations of original paintings. The originals are made by well-known and respected artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and many more. Reproductions allow you to own a replica of a masterpiece that only the very rich could afford. Many of the originals could only be found in world famous art museums. A reproduction is your chance of owning magnificent art at an affordable price.

All of our Reproductions are accurate copies of the original works of art Hand-drawn and Hand-painted on the good Canvas by our group of secured Master Painters and talented Artists.

Our Oil Painting reproductions are created by professional artists with years of experience in the arena of oil reproduction. We stand by our reproduction artists and always stand by the quality of the work they produce. This unique approach to reproduction art is something The Untapped Source is excited and pleased to bring our customers!

Digital File : The most important element of giclee printing is the digital file. We scan your original work using a high resloution digital camera to create this digital file. Camera Scan : The digital camera directly captures the image creating a hi-resolution file. Traditionally, the image is captured on film and is then scanned. However, this latter process leads to a loss of color accuracy, detail and does introduce 'noise' from the emulsion on the film when enlarged.

Yes. We have a wide selection of paintings in stock, or you can custom-order any image in any size you want, always with the security of our money-back guarantee. For custom orders, our Master Artists will work from any color copy with which you supply us to create a beautiful hand-painted canvas that you will treasure for years to come.

When we finish the order ( or part order ) , we will take photograph by digital camera ,then send it to you.

If you know the artist's name, do a Subject search in the UH Library Catalog to see if we have an entire book on the artist. You can then check the index in the book to see if the particular work of art is included. There are also several indexes to reproductions of works of art that are useful if you don't know the artist's name, if the Library doesn't have any books on the artist, or if the books on the artist don't include an illustration of the work in question.

Basically, if our artists can clearly see the details of your photo, we can make an oil painting from it.

Oil-based and acrylic paints cannot be mixed. Acrylic paints are water-based. There is a new type of paint out now, called alkyd paint. Although it is water-based, alkyd paint can be used with oil paints. You can never paint in acrylic over a painting previously done in oil paint. You can, however, paint with oil paint over an acrylic painting.

Listed below are some of the most frequently asked questions that I receive via e-mail. I'm sent a great number of interesting and often challenging questions every day (some of which now appear on my Online Forum page).

Reproductions are an opportunity for the general public to actually see and even own some of the otherwise unaffordable and often safely stored away art masterpieces. Whether it is a Monet in your living room that helps to educate and expose your children to art, or it is a Van Gogh in your office's reception area, these hand painted masterpieces will not only draw great attention, but they will add sophistication to your walls and rooms.

It is widely accepted that the first reproduction jars were some wax sealers made in Mexico. They were made in the colors of black-amber, emerald green and olive green. Since then other jars have appeared, some which have risen to become collectors items in their own rite and others, like the recent reproductions from China, will probably never be worth a lot to collectors. Sometimes mold seams can give a reproduction away.

I've only been painting with oils for a short time-in fact I only started to really sell anything in 2001, after I'd been working with them for about six or eight months. I've considered myself a "watercolorist only" for all my professional life. Right now I'm working on a bunch of new ideas, some will be watercolors and some will be oils. Basically, I'm thrilled to be able to do both.

Yes! Our artists can combine from more than one photo into a single painting. You can send several photographs and have people or pets from them placed together into a single painting. Simply give us detailed instructions when placing your order. We don't charge extra for this service.

Absolutely. We know that many of our customers are buying gifts for a birthday, anniversary or wedding and they need their oil portrait in a hurry. That's why we offer a priority delivery service for an additional $50 per painting. You’re guaranteed to have your custom oil portrait shipped in 7 working days.

If you are treating Victorian or older windows you should realise that they have been ‘dead’ since the house was built or the tree cut down. The wood has effectively been ‘drying out’ for over 100 years. Therefore it is not surprising the good that linseed oil does to the wood. Essentially it’s the same principle as applying moisturising cream to your skin.
