That’s the good thing about teaching yourself from Timelapses You’re just lucky the paint is sticking to the canvas. I have been doing portraits for the last six months. I haven’t really settled on a style yet. It seems to depend on the subject or at least the reference. I think I might have two or three styles but mostly it comes out how it comes out, it feels like I don’t have much say in the matter

Thanks so much for stopping by! Sounds like your portraits have a mind of their own! 🎨 It’s amazing how the creative process takes us on unexpected journeys. Keep experimenting, those different styles are all part of your unique artistic voice. After all, sometimes the paint knows where it needs to go before we do!

Thank you for all the examples of artists being inspired by other artists and how they gave their own unique twist to the inspiration that they found. I found this very helpful! 😊💫

How come musicians can play other musicians work but painters an illustrators get hung out to dry when we do a copy?

Thanks for bringing up this thought-provoking question! It’s true that different creative fields have their own norms and expectations. In music, covering or interpreting another artist’s work is a well-established practice, often seen as a tribute. In visual art, there’s sometimes more sensitivity around originality and ownership, likely because a single image or style can be very distinctive and tied to a specific artist. However, I believe that both musicians and visual artists start by learning from others, and the key is how they evolve and personalize what they’ve learned. It’s not about copying, but about growing through influence and finding your own voice, something I dive into in this video. 😊

First of all, you cannot compare Pollocks drip paining’s to anything anyone else was doing. Secondly, to quote Picasso “Good artist copy, great artist steal”.

I have a different issue. It’s not fear, I have just been painting for 3 years. And have been copying other artists. On purpose. I have learned by doing this but now want to venture out. I don’t know where to get ideas. Where do you get ideas?

Hi there! I get my ideas from a lot of things, and I even made a video about that! Perhaps you would like to watch it, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGa2YmOPaNShmdUsi=KoXm_PjBsL8o2W8p Let me now if it answers your questions, or that, maybe, I should dive deeper into that topic :-)

according to the US Copywrite Laws - copying STYLE is not an infringment. Your art syle is not copy right protected. Copying someone's art IS an infringment.

Thanks for your comment! You’re right that under US copyright law, style itself isn't protected, but copying a specific piece of art without permission is. I always strive to respect other artists' work and encourage creativity within legal boundaries. Appreciate your understanding and support!

USA COPYRIGHT CONTINUED: If you do copy (in USA), and are doing this under an educational process, that's OK, just as long as this piece: 1) do not try enter this EDUCATIOANL BASED piece as your own original art., 2) don't advertise this copied piece as your own / don't advertise as your own or advertise it on any social media, 3) do not enter this piece in a judged art show - as your own original art with a potential to sell (with a price tag). 4)It's OK to keep the piece in your own home, give it to relatives or friends, but never sell It as your own original art. 5) Never sell this Educationally based piece as your own (only your signature on it). If you want to eventually sell a copied piece ( a rendition of an old master) sign the piece with the ORIGINAL ARTIST/ "your artistic version of the paiting/ your name. ALWAYS. ALWAYS get the permission of a living artist or photographer before any attempt to copy their work. Save a written copy of permission for your records. Always sign their name FIRST/ YOUR NAME second. It's nice to include a tribute on the back to the original artist. Then you can sell the art. Never just sign your own name to an original art piece without giv!ng the origninal artist their due credit. Never steal someone else's intellectual property!
