[@ElizabethHoward]

I prefer seeing it done on reproductions/prints from the thrift store - mass produced things rather than originals. I'd feel bad messing with an original piece.

[@dekuthecat4125]

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

[@SmillyDonut]

I feel the same way. On reproductions and prints I don't feel I'm changing a one of a kind artwork.

[@ElizabethHoward]

And for what it's worth, I think your bedsheet ghosts came out awfully cute!

[@mirandaperkins3244]

I love the dementor ghosts!!

[@mckenna8315]

My thoughts exactly!

[@bluefox99887]

I really don't see anything wrong with adding to a painting (original, print, or mass-produced). If it ended up at a thrift store, it's probably destined for a landfill. By taking it home and adding to it, you're giving it new a life! If I had the skill to add ghosts to a painting in a way that matched the original style, that painting would become part of my Halloween decor for the rest of my life. I don't paint, but I can only hope the art I do make can give others joy after I'm gone, even if its a random person at the thrift store looking for something to DIY. 😊

[@nicky_stevenson]

I found an original framed cheap lithograph in a charity shop here in the UK. It was easy enough to take out of it’s frame and copy it with my printer several times (useful for trying out different effects). I have had a bit of fun adding various ghostly additions without harming the original. 👻🙂

[@LisaMarieFord]

That’s a better idea; have fun without harming the original.

[@nikkibrown1191]

If one of my paintings ended up in a thrift shop, I wouldn’t mind if someone added a ghost or did whatever to it.

[@ashleyguthrie572]

My ghost self would be crying happy that someone found value and joy in my otherwise forgotten art piece.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Like the rice experiment? Three jars of rice. One is loved ,one is hated and one is ignored. The ignored one seems to fare the worst. Because negative attention is better than none Edit. Huh this comment is obviously in the wrong place and maybe the wrong video

[@nikkibrown1191]

Omg thank you all for 100 likes!

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@nikkibrown1191 what's the big deal about getting whatever number of likes? I never understood that. Is everyone so starved for attention that they expect other people to give them a sense of meaning or value? You have worth and value because you are alive. Learn to love yourself. Because not everyone else will. Nor should you expect them to. That's normal. Don't let that bother you. What other people think of you should have no bearing on how you think about yourself. They don't know you. If you are a good person you already know that.

[@kimieatsu]

I think I definitely see both sides, if you’re an artist who wouldn’t want your paintings repainted with ghosts it makes sense to me that you wouldn’t like it. However, if those paintings never sold, they would get thrown away eventually so I completely understand why people do it.

[@ChantelleArts]

I feel the same whenever I see originals being painted over, I couldn’t do it myself 🥺 then again, at the point it’s being donated there’s definitely a lot worse that could’ve happened to it 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@amiemarieart]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels like this hehehe

[@ravenpotter3]

Often times people use canvases that have been printed on and mass produced.

[@ChantelleArts]

@@ravenpotter3 yeah that one makes a lot of sense ☺️

[@rosierawrberry]

I painted mine on acetate over the original painting, I still get the same effect but protecting the original art 😊

[@R.M.MacFru]

I'm not an artist, but part of me winces when I see people over painting original art. I commend you for going the reprint route.

[@amiemarieart]

Me too!

[@pudelnudel6915]

Yesss, worst is when they just paint a super ugly brown acrylic wash over a whole painting to make it look more "vintage"

[@slashbat2375]

I wince when I think that instead of someone buying it to use it for something like this, that original art gets tossed like trash. Sometimes you have to pick your battles. Reuse is more important than recycle, and somehow I doubt these paintings are getting recycled

[@ActualCharky]

@@slashbat2375 personally I'd rather it be trashed or at least be entirely painted over so that an artist who can't afford a new canvas is able to use it for practice.

[@slashbat2375]

@@ActualCharky so you'd rather something be landfill than give it new life? Interesting.

[@noraunhappy]

The thing is that a lot of the paintings you see people paint over in those thrift store videos are mass produced. I don’t know if it’s still done, but it used to be a thing where certain artists would have a whole studio full or people trained to paint exactly like them. So they’d make an original and then have these artists paints thousands of copies to be sold to people for home decor. And they’d all be signed with the same “company” name so-to-speak.

[@herodoesstuff]

i believe the paintings in thrift stores and etc are likely reproductions, so it probably isn't the original painting. (i imagine it might be a little pricier if it was) so i wouldn't fuss too much about painting over them :]

[@ashleyguthrie572]

I've definitely seen both reproductions and original pieces in thrift. Maybe for those who don't want to paint over someone's original, they could look for tells, like hand signatures vs manufacturers' markings, etc

[@herodoesstuff]

@@ashleyguthrie572 oh, thank you for that addition! def something useful for ppl to look out for 🤔!

[@seanaepley3180]

I haven't seen anyone actually do it to a real painting, only prints from the thrift store. And honestly...anything to keep things out of landfills for a bit longer. People rarely actually purchase art for their home from the thrift store, so by all means, save it and paint on it.

[@starophie]

i think art is meant to be enjoyed - if adding lil ghosties is going to bring you happiness, it's fine to enhance an existing piece. like you said, if it's a cheap thing from target or something languishing in a thrift store, i truly don't see the harm in it. and, there's a lot of genuinely ugly art out there 🥴

[@amiemarieart]

I also have horizontal blinds in my home studio. For filming angle the blinds slightly down, the room light isn’t to intense and wont give you the "light lines" but if im painting (and not filming) ill angle the blinds slightly up, still no "light lines" but the room light is brighter. Hope this helps ❤❤

[@MoistCrumpet]

Well, I think a lot of the art you find in thrift stores and other department stores like Target are reprints of the original. So I think this trend is pretty harmless if you’re painting over a reprint.

[@melsterifficmama1808]

Anything in a thrift store is fair game for you to repurpose in any way you like! It's there because it's unwanted, but not ready for the landfill.

[@kata7628]

I think if it’s languishing in a thrift store and doesn’t seem like a great painting, go for the re-paint.

[@CharminglyEpic]

So many good things from this video; your art, respect for other peoples art and your feelings regarding Tik Tok. I avoid it completely but also when I see any short or video visibly from Tik Tok here on YT, I don't watch them.

[@pamben6867]

I would have painted a witch flying on a broom

[@caitlinwhatthefrick2361]

In my opinion you should make the robe longer by at least an inch and make it trail out to a whispy point, and make the ends less curly. Then maybe do a thin wash of white (mixed with a lot of water) over them so they’re more in the fog

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

I crochet and I see crochet/handmade things in goodwill all the time. Sometimes that makes me sad but mostly I’m happy that someone gets to experience it for less and it gets to live on past the trash. I love seeing ppl make bags or clothes out of them too. Same with quilts. It’s so cool to me. So I don’t mind the idea of ghost painting. But there are other ppl who would be livid if their crochet work left their family or ever left the person for which it was intended, let alone if it was cut up and given a new life or unwound for yarn. I’m just not personally that way. I don’t have time to be worried about what ppl are doing with their personal belongings. If I did I wouldn’t hand it over to someone else in the first place. Ya know?

[@dees3179]

I create nonsense all the time. Art, quilts, crochet etc. when I die I have absolutely no clue what will happen to any of it. There’s no one to leave it to and I can’t imagine anyone would want any of it, but it seems a waste for it all to go straight to landfill without any opportunity for someone to grab it. I also don’t want to have to give up my horde while I’m alive, and due to indifferent health I have less idea than most of likely life expectancy. So I don’t realistically feel like a Swedish death cleaning approach is for me either. There will be no loved one going through my house to be considerate of. This video has made me think though. I’m wondering if I can set up a will which specifies a house clearance company has to try and sell hand made stuff rather than bin it. I wish I could think of someone who could be an executor. I can’t even think who to leave any value in my estate to, the cost of hiring a lawyer to do the work of disposing of assets would wipe out any value and any beneficiary I could think of isn’t up to the job of disposing of assets! Dying is hard work and it might be decades away yet…I need a lie down.

[@ThatGirlJD]

​@@dees3179You could leave your textile crafts and functional crafts to a shelter or charity. They can keep people in need warm clothed and loved. Social workers need stuff like blankets and stuffed animals they can give children that are being placed in care. Having something of your own that you can take with you wherever you are placed means a lot to children in the system. People who go through disasters need stuff to rebuild. Kids who deal with distasters and loose everything love having something they can love and call their own again.

[@NumbersToThePowerOf2]

I am a crafter and an avid thrifter to feed my crafting addiction the key to repurposing is researching what you get. I feel if you do this to make sure you aren't destroying anything truly rare you are fine using thrifted pieces however you feel paintings, clothing, vases, etc. Now paintings ideally you go with reproductions or prints but I know that's not always possible.

[@SmillyDonut]

As an artist myself, I don't agree with the practice when it comes to original artwork. If it was a photograph or even a print of an artwork, then I don't have a problem, because it's not a one of a kind piece.

[@amiemarieart]

Exactly

[@hallieharvey4073]

I’m the opposite if it’s just sitting in a thrift store who cares? It’s getting repurposed it’s the same as upcycling furniture, cloths, and other house hold stuff you find in thrift stores or yard sales

[@SmillyDonut]

@@hallieharvey4073 That's totally fair and I'm not judging the people who do it, but as an artist I don't find it ethical. But that's my personal view.

[@scp-09698]

I would rather see it done on an original, not one purchased from the store... this is why I don't sell my originals. So glad Chloe did a reprint.

[@Naomi-pq6tv]

Put plexiglass or glass over the painting and paint on that instead of directly on the painting if you don't want to ruin someone else's artwork

[@aloyhyrule5312]

I remember seeing somewhere that once your lainting is fully dry, to get a fog effect, folk water down white paint, then dip in a cloth before rubbing it in circles on the canvas and it gives the misty look. I've not tried this yet to see how well it works.

[@ActualCharky]

it is SO refreshing to hear someone else say they don't like painting over someone else's art. Usually when I say anthing I just get the "bUt NoBoDy WaNtEd It! It WaS iN gOoDwIlL! I sAvEd It FrOm ThE tRaSh!" type responses... I've mentioned before that I'd RATHER my art go in the bin than someone else decide to "improve" it.

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

My house was the contractors original work buuuut I had a different vision. So I took down a wall and a bunch of trim and changed it. I sew patches to thrifted items or paint or dye them. I don’t really see an issue with painting over original art especially if you’re only just tweaking or adding to it. Fully painting over canvas to start your own painting- like, I get it because it’s economical but that does gut me. Instead of being a collaboration with the original artist you’re just erasing it. I don’t wanna know about it if you’re doing that 😂 keep that horror to yourself

[@watermelonmint_]

"Fully painting over canvas to start your own painting- like, I get it because it’s economical" excuse me, what?! People do that? Yeesh.

[@ActualCharky]

@@watermelonmint_ personally I'd prefer that to someone thinking they can "improve on my art". If you're poor you're poor and if my painting is in goodwill it can't have been that good anyway.

[@ThatGirlJD]

​@@watermelonmint_😂yes, that's how people learn and recycle "bad" art. Many of the most famous paintings in museums have other full works of art under the art we can see. Art historians and preservationist will use technology to see the older pieces.

[@slashbat2375]

I mean most of those thrift painting challenges are not on original art. But to be fair, if it doesn't get bought at the thrift store it literally becomes landfill or it it's goodwill it goes to the outlet and then the landfill. If something as at the end of its life, giving it new life is better than seeing it trashed

[@erika6504]

I did something similar a few years ago for an Ugly Art Auction fundraiser. I bought two “scenic” thrift store prints, one of a Thomas Kinkaid-type house and one of a ship in a harbor. I added kraken arms pulling the ship under and tiny people swimming away, and a volcano exploding in the back of the scenic house with fire bombs falling from the sky. Together they raised $350 for the fundraiser, as the kraken became a bidding war and the women who won the volcano wanted the pair.

[@occheermommy]

I like it. I would have loved for her to really go all out and paint the silhouette of the castle on the hill and multiple dementors instead of the cutesy style ghosts. But I still like it

[@sheryltrevino7966]

I think the ghost trend is cute. I don’t have a problem with artwork being repurposed as long as it’s getting new life. I like your version but for some reason I thought your canvas would look cute with a ufo and little green men running around the trees. Thanks for sharing!

[@mosha3007]

I enjoy seeing painting on thrift store finds. Not on original artwork, but it’s fun on mass produced prints.

[@Merdragoon]

As an art historian *and* artist: I don't see problems with either route. using a Reprint is what Duchamp did with the Mona Lisa and hung it up in the museum to poke fun at the seriousness of the art world, but there's also Robert Rauschenberg that literally took sketches from other artists (like Kolonie), erased most of them and hung it up in a museum to experiment with what is considered art (Yes he did get permission from the artists themselves but I think he didn't say *what* he was going to do with them, but they knew they were going to be altered in some way). So you're continuing their legancy either way. Also restoration is a slippery slope because sometimes if they're a private restorer.... it becomes a super gray area because it's what the client wants and not what the art historian wants. If the Client tells you to keep the painted over peice instead the more valuable, priceless historical peice underneath.... then you keep the peice that is above the valuable one.

[@kittyocean]

I feel the same way; painting over someone's original work feels wrong, especially if you can't ask that person. Over replica's or prints? Fine. But an original piece, someone put their heart and soul in... eh... not my thing.

[@laurab3998]

I've never felt more accurately represented by a ghost than I do by Mister Backache

[@The_Life]

I don't know why but I was expecting another dementor to be a little further off in the distance from the initial one in the foreground looking forward, towards the viewer, and putting up bunny ears behind the initial dementor like if he were getting caught on camera.

Some of that coach art at thrift stores are made in production lines where workers put one or 2 strokes one the painting then pass it down to the next employee, there not artist.

[@krishashah3661]

I'd be okay with doing the ghost painting on a print of an original piece of art, instead of the original. I'd personally avoid changing someone's original piece.

[@Mustlovebooks15]

I seem to be in the minority on the thrift painting subject. I am completely okay with adding to original paintings. I’ve also bought paintings at thrift stores and gessoed over them and reused the canvas cause it can be cheaper than buying a new canvas. I paint over my old paintings all the time.

[@jayelizaa]

[@katesoup5428]

You are a QUEEN for deleting ticktok!

[@gregputnam7243]

I mean yeah, it is one thing if you completely change the image and add a ghost in the process because then the painting is yours and you were just using a canvas that just so happen to have paint on it or some type of art medium. However, it would probably just easier to use a blank canvas at that point. For this trend, you are literally just adding to something that is already created and then calling it your own. It is kind of like those group projects in school where everyone else does the work and you add a slide or two to the presentation and take credit for the full thing.

[@erinhthorn]

I don‘t understand you. The „dementor“ is - for me - the vest part. I love him 😍 and thank you fir not destroying original art!❤

[@wintersprite]

I tried TikTok for less than a day and decided I didn’t want to use it. I also haven’t tried this trend, however I think it could be fun to do something similar on the Spark app since adding to others’ creations is one of the things you can do. As to painting over artwork from thrift stores, it’s a form of up-cycling. I’m also not sure how much of the art in thrift stores is original vs reproductions.

[@scurvymcdiggle2741]

Personally I think it's great to save originals and change it in whatever way you want. Saving it from thrift shops and giving it new life is preferable to it going in the trash.

You : ''I hate Tik Tok'' Me : ''Me too, I think its unnecessary and pointless.''

[@sarahadams7463]

I feel like a lot of the art you find at thrift stores is basically prints like you would get at target. I feel like a middle ground would be to do some quick research (like just do a reverse image search) if you weren’t sure if what you had was worth keeping as is.

[@AroNekoArts]

Imagine you do a orginal, you are really proud and some tik tokers painting a dirty old rag over it xD

[@ginasartadventures2716]

I participated in this art trend but not on TikTok. I posted my video on KZbin Shorts and Facebook Reels. Like Chloe, I couldn't really find any good paintings at the thrift store. (Well, none less than $30. And a reasonablesize) I ended up getting a print that looked like a painting. I started off painting the cute little ghost. Ended up making them more whiskey and realistic looking. I enjoy going to the local cemetery, so work on the painting there.

[@MinhyuksMoon]

This is the first time I heard or see ghost trend lol I have seen videos of people "improving" drift store arts. And back problems are quite scary

[@LisaMarieFord]

I’m not a fan of painting over originals. It’s a waste. I cringe and I don’t watch the videos. Someone did put their hard earned creative work into that piece. Just because the person who had it or was gifted it died, which is usually the case, or had to sell for other reasons doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be appreciated. Painting over it, even in part just eliminates someone else being able appreciate the original art. I like the idea better than painting over an original, but honestly see little point in going to the store and buying a new or used print to paint over in part or totally, either. I understand its a bit of a challenge and definitely support that notion over an original. But really buying a canvas, board, or something and paint an original creation sounds way more appealing to me. I’d rather see an original piece than an adapting one too, even if the original imitates the other. It’s just more interesting to me.
