Select a Medium for a Painting

The medium is more than just the look. The texture, strength of colour, character and feel of the work of art in a room is affected by it.

• Acrylic Paintings - Use acrylic paint for vivid colour, sharp shape, layered texture or flowing contemporary effects. It is frequently used for abstract, modern, landscape, figurative and ornamental compositions . 
• Oil Paintings - Oil paintings are valued for their depth, blending, richness of colour and artistic surface. They are particularly useful for collectors who desire a more traditional fine art presence and a sense of visual depth. 
• Water Colour Painting - Watercolour is a softer, more flowing character. Its clear washes and subtle tonal transitions suit themselves particularly to landscapes, architecture, floral topics and expressive studies on paper. 
• Mixed Media Paintings - Mixed media art combines paint with different materials, textures or techniques. The sculptures tend to be more tactile and exploratory and are particularly at home in contemporary environments. 

When choosing between mediums, think about the artwork itself. A painting you identify with is more vital than a decorating rule in general.

What is Original and Hand-Made Painting?

When buying paintings online it is important to know what you are getting.

Original painting is a piece of art made by the artist on its final surface with real painting materials. Brushwork, colour application, layering, texture belong to that particular artwork. A print or reproduction, however, is a copy of an existing work of art or design, made mechanically or digitally. Prints can be ornamental but are not the same as an original hand-painted piece.

Signs of a handmade original can include:

• Visible Brushwork and roughness – Unlike the smooth surface of a print, painting typically gives a true roughness to a surface.
• Material and Medium – Real art should include the medium and surface it was made on. It should read something like 'Acrylic on Canvas'. It can also say watercolour on paper.
• Artist Info – It’s great to know who the artist is. It gives context, attribution, and transparency to your purchase.
• Natural artistic variance – There may be some variations in hand painted surfaces. These are part of the artist's technique, not production flaws.
• Professional Finishing – Well-finished edges, mounting, stretching or frame will help protect the artwork and present it properly.

Artoreal’s Painting collection is made up of authentic, hand-painted pieces of art by real artists. It does not include mass-produced printed copies.

Vastu Inspired Interior & Paintings

Some homeowners also take into account traditional Vastu associations while picking artwork. These are cultural and symbolic interpretations, not necessarily hard and fast decorating guidelines, but they might affect what people decide to represent in a certain place.

Waterfalls are typically considered as symbols of movement and abundance, mountains as symbols of stability, sunrise sceneries as symbols of optimism and fresh beginnings, and Buddha or Radha Krishna paintings as symbols of peace, harmony and spiritual connection.

If you are thinking of Vastu for your home, consider the subject along with the colours, size, direction and the room, where you want to show it.

How to Maintain an Original Painting?

Simple preventive care is good for original artwork.

• Avoid exposing paintings to direct sunlight for long periods, as some colours and surfaces may be altered slowly by this.
• Avoid extremes of dampness and areas of high humidity unless the work of art and framing are appropriate to those conditions.
• Wipe off surface dust with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not use household cleansers on painted surfaces or use water.
• Use clean, dry hands when moving or installing artwork.
• Proper framing or protective presentation of works on paper and other fragile surfaces.

If you have valuable or antique artwork that needs cleaning or restoration, it’s better to seek professional conservation than to attempt harsh cleaning yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all paintings on Artoreal original and handmade?

Yes. Artoreal's Painting collection features hand-painted artworks made by artists. It does not include mass-produced prints or AI-made artwork. Product pages provide details about the artwork's medium, material, artist, and available format.

You can buy original handmade paintings online through Artoreal. The collection includes artworks by Indian artists in abstract, landscape, contemporary, spiritual, portrait, folk, traditional, architectural, and nature-inspired styles. Free shipping is available across India.

What is the difference between an original painting and an art print?

An original painting is made by an artist using paint and materials on canvas, paper, wood, or another surface. An art print reproduces an existing image through a printing process. Original paintings therefore have individual brushwork, texture, and surface characteristics that printed reproductions do not.

How do I choose a painting for my living room?

Start with the size of the wall and the visual role you want the artwork to play. Large paintings can create a focal point above a sofa or console, while smaller works can form a gallery arrangement. Abstract, modern, landscape, and cultural paintings are all good choices.

The best artwork matches your room and shows your personal taste.
