If you are interested in buying original art online you probably won’t be able to buy the Mona Lisa! However, there is plenty of art available – just remember that images, in terms of scale, surface quality and colour on the web can be very misleading. You should ensure that you are buying from a site that has a returns policy. Art supplies and art books are also available in abundance – in fact, any kind of art-related product you can imagine is probably available online. However, before you buy anything online, it is worth reading the Lifesteps guide Using the Internet for…Shopping (also available at in your local library and on www.lifesteps.ie), and remember, the old adage ‘Buyer Beware’ also applies to art.
