Best Answer

First you try and make out a few letters, then you determine if it is a oil ,watercolor or whatever the medium is. Then you must have a Monograms and Signatures book, either American or European version. Try and match up the signature, Can be very time consuming. I spent 2 years before I think I know the artist on a oil painting.
