Originals in this selection, Photorealism, under 500 euro.
Accuracy in small scale
Photorealism paints what a camera would see, only with patience instead of a shutter. For under 500 euro you can find photorealistic paintings for sale that show astonishing fidelity in small format.
A water drop, a hair, a piece of folded foil: photorealists paint things so that you want to touch them. Small formats demand particular fine work, because the brush must be tiny and every line must sit. Anyone stepping close discovers thousands of small decisions.

In the room
Photorealistic pictures work best on walls that offer calm. In small formats they suit kitchens, hallways and studies. Light should be even, so surface reflections do not distract from the painting.
To keep looking
The effect changes with the material: oil paint, acrylic on canvas or watercolor show different sides of the genre. Ask about dimensions and protective coating. In photorealism the motif also decides: still lifes, portraits and landscapes demand different skills. So ask yourself which subject you would like to see every day, and pick the technique accordingly.
