/Repro/ Reproduction Thread

[Anonymous No.6170019]

Art market's in the shitter, nobody is buying original art and if they are they are lowballing every purchase. You know what that means!? Reproduction market is wide open! Post your studies of famous paintings, obviously the more famous the better. Starry Night, Mona Lisa, Girl With The Pearl Earring, etc.

As much as you all love Sargent, be honest that nobody recognizes any of his paintings. Odds are if you painted one of his or Booger's works you'd have to sell it as an original since it's unrecognizable to the mass market.

So this thread is strictly for things meant to be sold at low prices of very famous work by very famous artists (A tradition as long as art itself)

On average, if you were consistent about making new pieces, you could probably make in the range of $300-$600 a week doing reproductions. The only reason you wouldn't do them is if original artwork of yours caught on that month and was doing very well, but everyone always wants their own version of Starry Night or the Mona Lisa. Always.

Surefire sales are generally:
"The Night Cafe"
"Starry Night"
"Men Walking At Night"
"Sunflowers"
"Self Portraits"
by van Gogh

Cezanne's oil paintings of Mont Victoire or his still lifes

The Mona Lisa

The Creation of Adam

Picasso's Crystal Period (Incredibly high selling as the market for most art nowadays is from baby boomers who love cubism)

"Persistence of Memory"
by Salvador Dali

"The Green Line"
by Matisse

"Girl With The Pearl Earring"
by Vermeer (always a hit)

and feel free to add to this list if you've had success with certain other artworks

You may also have success doing copies of Noah Verrier's still lifes, as they are trendy right now.

Might be a stupid question but is this worth trying if I only have access to acrylics? I've got some canvases for the first time after painting on paper for so long this would be a great first project

[Anonymous No.6171766]

>>6171748
Yes acrylics are honestly probably easier since most famous paintings were done in layers, so you’d be able to work through it more efficiently.

What awful cruddy paintings. And where are the yellow/not yellow lips? Where on this monstrosity am I supposed to be seeing the difference?

[Anonymous No.6172259]

>>6171061
Exactly my thoughts. I still can't figure it out even with the original (but I have spend 15sec at best because quite frankly...)

[Anonymous No.6172268]

You don’t have to like Starry Night to paint it and sell it, money is money

[Anonymous No.6172339]

I know that, but at least pick the least worst option?

Show me the bit that is different

[Anonymous No.6172365]

>>6171061
This, I'm fed up tying to work out what each bit is meant to be, it is so damn ugly.
Why do people want to willingly look at it, let alone pay for it??

[Anonymous No.6172641]

Having a lot of luck with "Impression: Sunrise" by Claude Monet, I think this one's going to pop off

[Anonymous No.6172690]

>>6172641
Can you tell me how much you’ve been selling these for, Brian? Thanks

One ended today at $19 but it adds up and most of the really popular ones haven’t ended yet

[Anonymous No.6173938]

Have you considered prints? They’re cheap and move quickly. It’s been a hot minute since I made any to sell, though, but I can say people love them. I give them out with purchases of $50 or more to get people to spend more on my granny crafts.

[Anonymous No.6173974]

>>6173938
You need more exposure to do prints otherwise it’s a waste of money. I’m not popular in the internet sense, but I sell a lot of art, and usually for decent prices. I sold picture related for $300 yesterday and made $250 today on an antique painting I flipped

[Anonymous No.6174249]

>>6173928
that doesn't seem like a lot, how long do you spend on these and what are your material costs?

[Anonymous No.6174263]

>>6173974

[Anonymous No.6174616]

[Anonymous No.6175136]
