Okay people I am asking your help here I want to put a big picture in my bedroom and one in the "office" so to speak...so where would you recommend I go to look art colleges....where.

Not sure what I want but I will know what I want when I see it.

There is an art shop in the town where I work which sells lots of original paintings and prints... would you have anything like this near you?

What's your budget Karen? That is a huge deciding factor on where you start looking.

Next do some nice large prints at a good price, if you don't mind having non originals

Kazz · 22-11-2007, 08:41 PM

next...I bet thats where I have seen them and Yola my budget is as little as possible.

What sort of art do you like, traditional or modern? I've picked up some very nice paintings at local antique stores, flea markets and second hand places......

Or maybe take a look on eBay......

There are lots of high street places that will take one of your own photos (pet, friend/family, plant, landscape - anything infact) and turn it into a box canvas of any size which you can hang on your wall.

Alternatively, my friend who lives in Droitwich had some students from a local art school (is there one in Worcester?) round and she chose several paintings from them. That didn't cost a lot but they were (a) original and (b) potentially an investment!

Finally, what about going down to Hobbycraft, buying a couple of large box canvases and some paints and have a go yourself

Hi Kazz - I can recommend this internet company if you want to make one of your own original photos into artwork! I have used this company - they took great care about getting the image right.

This is also a good link for huge range of art posters (and others). I have not actually ordered anything from them, but you could get some ideas. They have a useful framing and wall colour guide too.

Of course buying an original from a young artist is probably the best idea - why not try your local art school/college?

Best wishes - would be interested to hear what you decide upon.
