How can I tell the difference between an original painting and a print?It would be actually very easy to test the authenticity of a watercolour paintings!, watercolour paintings are affected by water, hence if you were to take a tiny piece of damp cotton wool and dab the painting the cotton wool would absorb/lift off some of the paint/pigment, it would be very easy to see paint on the cotton wool, but if you tried this same procedure with a print there would be no paint/pigment on the cotton wool. You should however never need to resort to this invasive method, most respectable artist would never dream of ever selling a print as an original!, it's just not what artist do. You may however occasionally see an artist "reworking" one of their original paintings, this is perfectly acceptable practice, they may do this occasionally if the painting hasn't sold after some time or if they are unhappy with some elements of the original composition, hence they may tweak it at a later date, I've even seen artists add extra characters into their initial painting (a sleeping fox for example), sometimes even re-signing the piece when they are finished, this is all perfectly acceptable and normal and not the same thing as passing off a print as an original painting. Hope this helps clarify. L J x
