It is much easier to get hold of a digital camera and photograph it... Go as far back from the painting as your Lens will allow (zoomed in), this will minimise warping/distortion. The more pixels the camera can record, the better.





Lighting is crucial here! Usually the painting is set up in a curtained off area where the light sources can be controlled... but you may find it easiest to photograph the painting in sunlight. Avoid glare at all costs!
