Originals in this selection, Oil on canvas, Photorealism, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Glaze by glaze to illusion
For skin tones, glass, and metal, oil is the classic paint, and in photorealism it shows how soft and exact it can be at once. Photorealist oil paintings for sale between 1,000 and 2,000 euro reward a look at glazes and highlights.

Choosing the spot
Photorealist pictures call for diffuse light without glare. A place to the side of a window or with indirect lighting avoids disturbing reflections in the varnish. Do not hang them too high: the illusion is strongest when you face them head on.
Details of workmanship
An oil picture means patience: full curing takes months. Ask about varnish, year of creation, and condition. An evenly stretched canvas matters here, since every ripple disturbs the precise surface.
