With the development of the Internet, acquiring art has become so much easier. Whether you want to buy abstract paintings online, are looking for a unique sculpture or an affordable art print, there are a lot of charming artworks to choose from.

Here is a list of 5 tips that will make your navigation in the online art world easier and help you to avoid mistakes.

Buy an original Artwork

There are millions of original artworks sold online, available on well known art sales platforms, as well as artists websites. It seems that buying art has never been easier – just as anything else you buy online. All you have to do is choose a painting you like, add it to the cart and wait until the courier rings your doorbell. 

However, paintings and sculptures differ from other goods sold online, because they are unique, so if you are buying one – be sure you are getting an original, because you don’t actually see the canvas before it arrives at your door.

So if you have decided to go for original art – make sure it comes signed and is accompanied by the Certificate of Authenticity. 

Also, check the terms and conditions and make sure it is shipped insured and that you will be able to return the artwork in case it does not meet your expectations. 

Commission an Artwork

So you have been looking at art on your screen for a while, but you can not find the right one – the artworks you like are too big, or too small or, possibly, too expensive. That is when you should consider commissioning the artwork from the artist.

Before you do this, make sure you know exactly what you want. The more precise you can describe your desires – the better. You need to decide on style, the size and possibly the colour scheme and discuss everything, including the price, in detail with the creator to reach a mutually beneficial agreement and result. 

Choose an Art Print

Art prints are an affordable way to decorate any space and there are so many styles available – from photography, to drawings and painting prints, limited and unlimited editions. The best thing about art prints is that you can have an artwork created by a famous artist without spending millions on it!

Download digital Printable Art

Another customisable way to decorate with art is by finding printable artworks that are really affordable and available for download within a few clicks. You can then decide how to use them – whether you want to print them and hang it on the wall or place it on your screen. The best thing about digital art is not just the price, but the flexibility in terms of sizes and mediums you can use.

Buy a non-fungible token – NFT Art

If you are a passionate art collector you should consider NFTs that are revolutionising the art market at the moment. The NFT technology allows to create digital artworks and make them unique, although multiple copies of the artwork may exist, owning NFT art means you own the original version of the digital artwork.We hope you found this blog post useful, please don’t forget to visit our online abstract art gallery if you are looking for high-quality affordable art!
