Originals in this selection, Oil on canvas, Impressionism, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Painted wet into wet
Oil on canvas is the classic home of impressionism, since the paint stays damp enough to mix tones right in the picture. Impressionist oil paintings on canvas between 500 and 1,000 euro for sale cover subjects from harbors to sunken lanes.
While painting, new color is placed into still-wet paint so tones mingle at the edges. That gives clouds, water, and foliage their soft motion. The surface gets small ridges and edges that catch light and give the picture body.

Frame and location
A broad, lightly profiled frame in wood or gold suits the tradition, while a plain floater frame makes the picture more contemporary. Hang it where daylight comes from the side, not against backlight.
Condition and authenticity
With oil paintings in particular, questions about varnish, drying time, and year of creation pay off. A signature whose position is given in the listing, together with a certificate, makes the work easy to identify later. Size and weight deserve a look beforehand.
