liuhao 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 just an update: i tried to get painting collection books and also download photo of paintings from internet but in general very hard to find high resolution scan. i intent to print at 40cmx40cm size. however most scan i have is less than 640x480 resolution and also suffered from heavy jpeg compression. the size of pictures on the collection books are too small. i am sure when enlarge to A3 size, the quality loss will be very visible.i found a shop in paragon called "images of china" selling the exact size of paintings i am looking for. it's close to what i am looking for but the paintings are too generic. some were hand paintings by artist with good quality but not the antique style. some were reproductions (print) from original antique paintings (they need to pay very high per-print royalty fee to the musum who owns these original paintings) but unfortunately they only choose those which look more "modern". the owner says these days people do not like too antique style. hehz...i know hongkong or maybe china got more variations but just hope to get from local if possible.

francaisco 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Try the shops along chinatown. Went looking for paintings last weekend. Seems to have quite a variety of antique drawings.There's a painting shop along south bridge road, i think quite near to smiths street. They selling oil paintings and those chinese water color paintings, dunno you can find what you want there.There's also quite a few shops selling antique paintings, I saw some going for about $200, but unfortunately I can't remember the shop name. You'll have to try your luck. If I'm not wrong, it should be along pagoda street.Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
