Mieke Middelhuis thank you! I cannot take credit for the idea but I will for the execution, fair is fair! Thanks so much for watching, appreciate the kind words!

Karen Campbell, Artist Please don't take this the wrong way because I watch you all the time and you're one of me favourite artists to watch here on KZfaq, but I'm just curious if you asked the artist's permission to recreate her piece? Because I too once did the same and I received such backlash for it. I didn't take credit for the idea and I posted who the artist was and everything same as you. The original artist told me it was never okay to reproduce another artist's work, even if I put me own spin on it and did it in a different medium. She said just because you change the colours and medium doesn't mean anything. She said it's still copying and it's not okay unless you get permission from the artist, and that crediting them was not enough. I wasn't selling the piece or anything either. I was just doing it for fun. Needless to say I took the post down. You mentioned in your comment that fair was fair, so I was just wondering your thoughts on it all. Loads of love n such. x

Lori Davis that is a very legit point. In my heart of hearts I think it is truly ok to recreate someone's work if the intention is to practice ONLY. I think it would be really dishonest and illegal to copy (even if it was in a different medium with different colors) with intent to sell. As artists we practice to hone our skills! And we practice drawing and painting what we see in the world around us. I think that is always why I am 100% transparent if I copy someone's work or use theirs as inspiration to say, "This original idea is not my own I am using it for practice and inspiration and the artist is ____________." People have been copying the masters for 100s of years and no one gets upset because it is widely understood the academic value in practising to learn. I think this is no different. If, however, an artist has been credited and they are very upset DESPITE having been properly credited then I guess the polite thing would be to take down the post or video or whatnot. I would do the same. Now THAT being said, if someone credits me and copies my work (which happens all the time because I am a teacher and the whole purpose of my work is to teach and not to sell) I am totally flattered!!!!! So the main thing is perspective, I suppose. But is it illegal or wrong to copy someone's style for practice? I don't think so. But out of respect for humans and their complicated feelings, I do get it (although I don't personally feel that way).

And I am sorry that you went through that, it is never a good feeling to be attacked like that.

0426ds aw you're so welcome! Thanks for being here!! 😙😙

50 Hats well hello there to you! Thanks so much!

Thanks for watching!

I LOVE your yap yap yapping girl, please don't ever be sorry!!!!! Oh yes, about the comments, all those videos are embedded into the site so it behaves a bit differently there then the other videos/classrooms but this is a perfect place to be blabby!!! Hopefully it wasn't too much trouble!! You're just the best with all your love, just know I totally appreciate every last word!! BACKATCHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

mmonr thank you!! Yes, I did know. I was working from a reference (a digital painting) so I knew kinda where I needed to go with the background. That is also why I traces my moon first, so that I could spray the lighter areas strategically.

Pure whimsy, thanks

Thank you, Edwin!

Thanks!

Janneke Bruines you know, I do too. I have this hanging still in my studio and I totally still love it. I'll do one in real time, maybe in a few weeks and post it on AwesomeArtSchool.com in my free monthly course listings. You should check those out too, theres loads in there and it's all free and all real time videos.

Karen Campbell, Artist thank you so much 😊I will 😊❤️

Happy Painting!!!

hahahaha nooooooooooooooo don't do it Jon Snow!!!!! I just got your question about my new book, it will be ready (on Amazon) by the end of the week. I get the final proof (hardcopy) tomorrow and then it will be released as soon as it is 1000% done. ANY DAY! Thanks for your patience, so sorry for the wait!

Oooh. I kept looking the last few days at Amazon and Etsy but I didn't see it..thought it was sold out...or it was there and I was losing it..lol. Can't wait :) :)

OMGosh the process is mind bendingly slow (actually, to be fair, as a self-publisher it's actually super fast - but having the patience of a 5 year old it seeeeeeeeeems like it is mind bendingly slow!!!!).
