The Painting Process
The
oil painting process at The Ronald Reagan Collection begins and
ends with what you, the customer, wants.
The first step in having an oil painting made is for you to choose
your painting. Choose from any of the pictures or paintings on our
site or, if you still haven’t found what you’re looking
for there, we could also create a painting from any good sized digital
image of Ronald Reagan, please contact us for more information.
Once you have decided which painting(s) you would like to have made,
simply place your order on our website. If you have any problems
with the ordering process please feel free to send us an email and
one of our courteous customer service agents will be happy to give
you any help you require.
Once an order
is placed online we begin the painting process.
The artists begin with a light pencil drawing
on a cotton / linen canvas.
Once the outline has been approved, the artist
will begin painting. The artist will apply paint to the painting
everyday but needs to wait a few days in between coats of paint
as to not blur the colors. It takes between 8 and 14 days to paint.
Once the painting is finished the master
artist will check the painting. If changes are needed, the master
artist will then "touch-up" the painting. We will then
take pictures of the finished masterpiece and send them to you
by email. If you would like to make changes, you have the opportunity
to tell us. We will then send you new pictures of the painting
by email. We will not send you your painting until you are 100
percent satisfied with the painting.
