RESEARCH & COPYRIGHT
We will first discuss a research brief for your picture, which could be by a particular artist, subject, style or medium.
Once we have concluded our research we will send you a lightbox of low-resolution images from which you may choose.
Having chosen your preferred painting, we will negotiate the necessary copyright fees, and the high-resolution image will be released to us.
PROOFING, PRINTING &
HAND FINISHING
​Once in receipt of the image we will output a number of colour print proofs onto a substrate closely matching that of the original picture.
Upon either feedback provided to us, or our own proofing, we will adjust the colours accordingly to ensure a perfect match, before sending you a final print proof for approval.
Using the highest resolution digital printing technology available, we will ensure your painting is reproduced with the richest colour and perfect tonal ranges.
The final and most critical stage in producing an authentic reproduction is the hand finishing phase, which allows our highly-skilled specialists to recapture the subtle texture of brush strokes by applying top coats of varnish.

"I was referred to Family Copies through a friend to research and reproduce some family paintings which had previously been sold by my great grandfather, they not only found them, negotiated the copyright, but produced wonderful copies."
