Downloadable Vintage Art
Picking vintage art online that you can instantly download is an inexpensive and quick way to get beautiful artwork for your home!
I LOVE vintage artwork.
I find a lot of my vintage art at thrift shops (like the one above) or antique shops. When I was in France last (four years ago!) everyone in the Academy group was on the hunt for vintage oil paintings of portraits or landscapes. Sadly, I didn’t score any.
You can find many gorgeous portrait, landscape and sketch or engraving artwork at many online places too. But these need to be shipped to you and can be quite pricey.
Lately, there have been so many places that have downloadable or printable art prints that you can get instant downloads!
Here are my favorite online vintage art shops.

I then bought some Ikea frames and turned them into these gorgeous gold vintage frames. They look so good in my dining room!
The tutorial for turning black frames to vintage gold frames is super easy!
Printing
Although you get an instant download straight to your inbox, I wouldn’t print these from home. I would print them at a printing office place like Fedex or Staples. They usually have same day printing and it’s very easy to do all online. My most favorite online place to use is Posterjack and I pick the poster print/fine art paper.
Here are some ratios to keep in mind when ordering printable or downloadable art.
4:5 – 8×10, 11×14, 16×20
2:3 – 12×18, 20×30, 24×36
3:4- 9×12, 18×24

I love vintage art as well and it is getting harder to find at a good price point. I love this idea. My question is what type of paper do you print on? I assume a heavier card stock?
Thanks!
I agree, Susan. The prices have definitely been increasing. I would use a heavier card stock paper to print on, yes.

Thank you Jamie for such an informative post and great sources! When you have your art printed at Staples or FedEx, what type of paper do you prefer to use?
Thank you,
Sondra
Hi Sandra,
So glad you liked the post! I would use a card stock type of paper.

Hello! I would like to suggest the etsy shop Apolo Prints (https://apoloprints.etsy.com). They have great tree sketch printable items. Just check!
I wonder if you could use watercolour paper…..
I’m sure you could try that. If you cut it the exact same size as your printer paper, it could work as long as it’s not too thick. It would have to be no thicker than card stock and you’d just have to practice with your printer on how thick it can print on. Good luck!
Hugs, Jamie
Hi Jamie! I absolutely love this post! I’m wondering if you might be able to help me identify a piece so that can do a search for it? I would truly appreciate it if I could forward the picture I do have.
Thank you
Jann
Hi Jann,
It seems like there are only specific vintage pieces that are downloadable. There are a few that seem to be repeated on different websites so I’m sure it’s a copyright issue. Have you check out all the Etsy shops listed above?
