What is the difference between an original painting and a print?

There is only one original. There can be many prints.

Tamara is a detail focused artist and paints using tiny paintbrushes. She layers watercolour which means she paints over parts of the painting many times, and all this takes a considerable amount of dedication and time. Original artwork is valuable because of the time, effort, and sacrifice it takes to create it.

In comparison, prints are reproductions of the paintings. They are made using high resolution scanning, and fine art photographic printers. Prints look like the orginals, but they are easier to produce. Print prices are largely based on size and printing costs.

While time and effort are important factors in art creation, there are many other costs involved in art making including material costs, space rentals, website and processing fees, etc. Artwork also has intrinsic value, a worth much deeper than any material costs.

Tamara puts love into all her artwork, including each print she makes. An original painting further contains the journey of that artwork.
