Quite a journey of discovery you've led me on  there; the original is a painting by Richard Alexandrovich Bergholz, and if it IS an oil originally, that would be an exception for him.  Most of his work is in watercolour.  There is no useful advice that can be given regarding the colours used in the copy you - or your company - have made: for one thing, it's translating from watercolour to oil, for another the copy has none of the subtlety of the original.   What troubles me much more is your link to a commercial site which sells generally crude copies of out of copyright paintings - as it's in Turkish, I doubt many people on this forum will be drawn to it - but that was the intention of your post, wasn't it?  If you want to advertise, contact the advertisements manager of this website rather than  pose a specious question.

Robert my initial reaction was to remove this as it’s a blatant advertisement, however as you have added to it since I last looked , I will leave it in place for now. However if the new member adds more information about that advertisers I will remove it and ban her as it taking revenue from the site owners .

Both the above pieces of ‘artwork’ are identical in every minute detail…apart from a change of colour which was probably done in photoshop or something similar. So, the top one isn’t a copy using the original as a guide, it’s a digital copy! When I say original, it’s most likely a print, so none of this thread has anything of value to offer… So, I’m thinking of deleting the original post, I’ll mull it over for a while!

Leave it long enough for them to get the message, I suggest - then remove it.  But as I very nearly removed it myself, I'd entirely understood if you just whipped it away!   I wanted to make the point: point made, and I agree, it's probably better gone.

I am trying to find out what is behind the web site , this site is run  by a commercial company who make a charge to advertise on the site . It crucial income to maintain the forum and gallery, I would suggest you contact them and ask how or do you need to pay for link to your website , even if it only to attract commissions it’s still advertising and its that  I am commenting on .  As to your paintings I have no comment on how they are painted or indeed if they are prints or copies, nor do I question your ability as a painter , all I woukd like is that you pay a fee for the link if it’s required if not then post away happily .

We aren’t out to target individual artists, we want to encourage them in fact, that’s what this website is about. Yes, that is a painting, but the two you posted earlier were identical in every detail apart from a colour change. So, one of them at least must have been a digital print! I honed in on a specific area at 600%, and they were identical, impossible to paint and copy that accurately!
