    I did this painting of a picture I saw on the net and
    I was wondering is that wrong
    not that it matters that much....
    I am poor ...I saw something I liked
    I couldn't afford to buy it....
    so I painted on of my own......:H

    its not nearly as good as the origonal artist did but here is mine

    it is only wrong if you sell it or get credit for it as your own idea

    thank you Ash that means alot
    and,Ocean Byrd,& dmgreen
    thank you... yes it is nice
    and I must find the artist......
    so we all can enjoy the origonal
    I would never take credit for someone
    elses art...hense the thread.....
    StonerBill.......

    I do...do my own art but when
    I see something that I really like
    I figure I might as well give it a try
    and I think it is helping me to figure out
    some other types of styles that are fun
    I am an unedgucated artist so I try to
    find insparation every where.....

    has any one else done this....?
    hmmmmm?????

    until the mid 1800s when art was considered more a "craft", it was a normal process of studying art, to sketch and paint after existing works. So what you are doing is not wrong.

    the grain looks way cooler in the 2nd one, although i like the deeper red in the 1st

    Is u using oils? I wanna get a oil set of my own....

    and no i dont think its wrong to make a copy, as long as u arent planning on breaking into a museum and replacing the original with urs and selling it...

    BTW... whats the theme or scene or plot of the painting? or does it even have one

    I prefer your copy.
    And, you COULD sell it as a bootleg, but the artists could get angry.
    And it is possible for them to take you to court.
    But, I don't think that is your intention, is it?
    ;)

    Look at the nature of art. Artists in their nature are all plagiaristic. In reality works of art have come from some inspiration or another. While one may borrow an idea, the finished concept becomes its own work. There is a big difference between using someone else’s work as an inspiration and calling someone else’s work your own. Artists get better at what they do by copying other works and discovering their own strengths.
