All gifts have a hidden meaning. If a painting becomes the subject of donation, then it should carry a reflection of the soul of the donor. The painting is the perfect gift. She will delight a person and his descendants with her beauty for many years.
The article will discuss how to properly sign a painting as a gift if you are the author of the painting or if you ordered a painting to be made.
Can I donate a painting?
To begin with, it is worth figuring out whether it is worth giving a picture or is such a gift considered bad manners? The answer is unequivocal: you can give pictures. You can present the following canvases to your loved ones:
Landscapes - they will be considered a talisman. It is important that a bright, colorful landscape is depicted, representing happiness
- Still life - this picture should bring prosperity and abundance to the house. When choosing such an image, consider the interior design of the room where the picture will hang.
- Portrait -it is worth giving only to those people who occupy a high position and will gladly hang a picture with their image at home. It is not necessary to give a portrait to those who are distinguished by modesty - this can confuse a person.
When you have chosen the painting you want to buy or write for a loved one, you should immediately think about the signature on the gift.
How to sign a painting if you painted it yourself
You are the author of the picture, so you have every right to write your congratulations or wishes on the image itself. This can be done in verse or prose.
But it's better to do it in an original way to impress the one who will be presented with a gift. To do this, remember famous artists and how they signed their paintings:
- Italian artist Dosso Dossi did not sign his paintings at all, but encrypted the signature in the image. You can borrow this idea and capture in the picture some symbols and objects that bring good luck to the person to whom the picture will be presented. For example, this person loves white cats, then you can draw a small cat that will be in harmony with the general image and, at the same time, carry a secret meaning.
- Marinist Aivazovsky signed the paintings on the sand, which was depicted on the canvas. You can also write your wish in the sand or draw it as if the congratulations are lined with stones. For example, picture a child playing on the beach and posting a greeting.
Howsign the painting that was bought
If you made a painting to order, then you can use the tips given in the previous paragraph. But if the painting was bought by you, then you should sign it differently.
How to sign a painting that has been bought? It should be signed on the reverse side so as not to interfere with the content of the art object. On the reverse side of the canvas, you can write a congratulation in verse or prose - this is a personal matter.
You shouldn't write your congratulations with felt-tip pens or markers that will be visible on the picture itself - this will ruin the gift.
In conclusion
The picture is the perfect gift for the soul. The object of art will always remind you of you and bring joy. The picture always speaks of the good taste of the one who presented it and the excellent education of the one to whom it was presented.
