Art student scam
The art student scam is a confidence trick in which cheap, mass-produced paintings or prints are misrepresented as original works of art, often by young people pretending to be art students trying to raise money for art supplies or tuition fees.〔Wilton, Suzanne, "Art-sales-scam ringleaders ordered to leave Canada", ''Vancouver Sun'', Vancouver, B.C.: 7 Aug 2004. pg. A.8.〕〔 The sellers mostly represented themselves as French art students, but the scam has recently been copied internationally, with instances of Chinese, Chilean, and other nationalities posing as art students or dealers in Australia, Canada, China, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States since around 2000. The art is often sold in exhibition sites or art galleries.〔〔
〕 Many scammers operate alongside and at the long-run expense of genuine art students who show their yearly work in festivals during the summer vacation.
==Mass-produced paintings==
Most mass-produced prints and paintings originate in Asia. These are essentially posters, sometimes referred to as "Hong Kong horrors," printed on rough paper, making the absence of brush strokes less apparent. Oil paintings cannot be mass-produced as they are handmade. There is a confusion between "mass-produced paintings" which are actually prints. These are being sold over the internet described as real oil paintings, taking advantage of the difficulty of spotting the scam behind the screen. Sometimes a few brush strokes are added to the prints to give them a more authentic oil-painting look.
