About Us

Our Studio

Art House Reproductions was founded in 1996 with a staff of 2 in a small office in Seattle, Washington. The company has grown to over 35 artists and a full time support staff.

Our Painters

Part of the reason we are successful is by choosing the right artist for the style chosen. This is one area where we are superior to our competition, as our artists stick with the style they are most suited for. Each artist in our team is adept at different art genres - whether it be abstract, modern, cubism, landscape, folk, expressionism, baroque, greek, renaissance, or gothic. Bottom line - we deliver a great painting.

Materials

We use Pebeo oils and 100% canvas to replicate exact matches to each original piece of artwork.

The Process

Step 1.
We begin the process with a rough outline of the shapes. It doesn't look like much because we are concentrating on the general masses. After having the general composition right in relation to the original, the artist can move onto the next step.
Step 1

Step 2.
We now begin to apply paint to the canvas using large brushes. The background is filled in, leaving only the outlines for the subjects in the foreground.
Step 2

Step 3.
We now build up the painting by defining the dark values of the subjects. We slowly build depth by modifying the hues and apply the base coats for each subject.
Step 3

Step 4.
We now start to replicate the technique used by the original artist. Are the brush strokes bold or soft? Is the oil liberally applied? We should begin to get an essence of the original painting. Shadows, density, and contrasts in the subjects now begin to appear, while giving texture to each element.
Step 4

Step 5.
The artist applies the finishing touches. This is the step that is sometimes the most painstaking, as the original and reproduction should be nearly identical.
