Finding Reliable Water Color Artists

By Marissa Velazquez


It is possible to stare at some nice pieces of paintings and wonder who might responsible for them. Locating good water color artists is an uphill task and in many cases, it depends on if there are signatures on the paintings. Sometimes though, even if they are signed, you can not be sure if you can obtain enough information from them concerning the individuals behind the job. In order to locate a good artist, you must be patient.

The first step towards finding an artist is to check if the painting is signed. Normally, if there is no signature on the front, it has to be in the lower corner on the right or left. If you doubt that the painting is attached to a substrate, you will have to decide whether to damage the watercolor paper to check. However you can also consult a professional if you have questions. You may also find the services of an appraiser to be of use. He can help you with assessment.

Another individual you should seek in this task is a restorer. He can help you with the safe removal of the substrate. Once you know the source, you can also know the person responsible for a certain painting. If you are aware of the gallery that a certain work came from, the people in that gallery can recognize the work and direct you to the artist who did it. If after all these you find out that you still do not know the artist responsible for a certain collection, seek the services of an arts professional who works in a nearby local museum or arts organization.

He can help you in identifying some artists or can approximate the dates that some certain type of work was done. Most paintings are recognized by some style which in most cases is either date or place. If the individual responsible for a particular work is reputable, it will be easy enough for an art professional to recognize him. If it is still impossible to recognize him, you can try the internet. Search for images on the internet and see if they do match.

The internet can also help with direct searches. Provided you have a good search engine, you should be able to see lists of dependable artists from various sources. Some websites even contain the artists profiles and all the achievements they have made in their careers.

However, trying to match a paint with those that can be found online can be a long and tiring process that does not guarantee success. This is because there are many works by great artists that are still unnoticed. You can also decide to ask your friends for assistance especially those that know something about painting.

They may know how to find a fine artist or can assist you with tracking the one responsible for an incredible painting. You should not trust your pals fully though. You can be misled if you are not cautious.

Friends tend to favor other friends when it comes to doing business. So they can lead you to a certain artist not because the person is good at what he does but because he is his friend and wants to do him a favor. There is no way you can fail to locate dependable water color artists if you will follow these steps.
