DURANGO, Colo. - eTradeWire -- Matt Payne, Colorado-based landscape photographer and outdoor enthusiast, announced today the publication of his guide on Fine Art America (FAA). Curated for those who are thinking about purchasing art from FAA, which has become one of the largest art marketplaces on the internet, the guide contains everything prospective customers should know.

In the article, Matt talks at length about Fine Art America's business model and how it's not ideal for artists who want to put their work out there. While it's true that FAA eliminates considerable hurdles for artists who want to sell their work without taking on a large-scale printing operation, the quality of most of FAA's products is lacking.

Matt also warns potential customers that the legitimacy of the work in question is often suspect. "Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping someone from passing off images they found elsewhere as their own," he said of the process for setting up a seller's account on the site. "This makes it incredibly difficult to confirm the authenticity of the products being sold on FAA."

Furthermore, even when the art is authentic, the quality of the print—and the product it was printed on—leaves much to be desired. After scouring reviews from actual buyers, Matt concluded, "Common complaints include poor customer service, cheap materials, and distorted imagery."

Thankfully, there are a lot of alternatives to FAA for those who want to purchase decor for their homes and offices. Matt shares that buying from artists directly is the best way to purchase fine art in America. In doing so, you're supporting the creator. Moreover, you'll likely receive a piece that's of significantly better quality than anything on Fine Art America.
