What is a figurative painting?

A figurative painting is one that depicts an object or scene in the real world, as opposed to a landscape painting which shows only nature and not people or other objects.

How do I know if a work is figurative?

If you are looking at your painting from a distance and it looks like a photograph then it probably is figurative. You can also look for details such as clothing, jewelry, furniture, etc. that would be impossible to paint realistically.

Is there any difference between a portrait and a figurative painting? Can they both be considered portraits?

Yes, figurative paintings are just as much portraits as figurative paintings, you will see things that are not normally seen in portraits. For example, you may see a person’s shoes, hair, glasses, etc.

Why should I buy a figurative painting over a more realistic painting?

The answer is simple. When buying a figurative painting you are getting something different than what you might get with a realistic painting. With a figurative painting, you will see things that cannot be painted accurately. This makes the painting unique and interesting.
