Assuming you are not a serious collector yet, if you want to buy paintings for investment, will be better to look for work by artist whose works have been auctioned by the reputable auction house like christi's, sotheby's or even borobudur. This will give you an idea of the trend.

 

Water color is not as popular as oil in general because its more difficult to preserve.

if they caught your attention in the first place, it means that they're pretty good. i certainly think they're nice. sometimes it's not about investing, but simply liking it. if it meets your wallet and fancy, treat it as a hobby first, and if it fares well with the market, then good for you

[Hishercar]

yes watercolour is not popular

 

that is why may be it is worth investing especially if it is also a painting that is acceptable to have it hang up at home

 

do you know any anybody or kaki that collects art

 

thanks

[Hishercar]

you do seem to know alot

 

how much are willing to pay for these paints

 

just your guess

 

it cannot be right or wrong as you say

 

it is something that must be acceptable to an individual

 

thanks

As an amatuer, 1st priority for me is to get a painting I like. Even if it does not appreciate, its still a joy to see it hanging on the wall.

 

2nd in line is to look for a known artist, or at least someone whose work has been exhibited at museums, better still if some museums also collect them.

 

Thirdly, because I don't have special facilities to keep the work in pristine condition, I'll only get media that is easy to maintain, like oil, acrylic or bronze/stainless steel sculpture.

 

There are quite a few gallaries that brings in works by emerging artist. PM me if you like some recommendations.
