This painting is totally yours now. Gorgeous! (Small librarian soapbox/cheer incoming! it's positive, don't worry.) Naming your source not only gives credit, but it also allows the artist who follows you, even decades from now, to trace a path back from the work. They'll discover the "conversation" between your work and the botanical bible. Then, they can look at any sources named in the book and follow the conversation back even further. (Try it sometime if you haven't, folks. It's like a delicious internet rabbit-hole turned up to 11) Kristy, I know you acknowledged this by comparing it to writing a paper. I just can't help making the point explicit, because it makes me so happy. It's not a chore we should do from fear, but an investment in a rich creative environment for the future. OK, speech over! 😂

Love this speech! Pinning this comment so every reaaaadddd!! In college I first learned about the wide world of collaboratively created artwork. I was introduced to the working thought process behind Any Warhol’s infamous soup cans… Basquiat’s commandeering of public spaces as his canvas…Richard Serra’s very private art in very public space, Christo’s literal wrapping up of public lands to make his very original artistic statement. Intention and responsibility play a huge role in how we access other’s work, ping off of it and evolve it into something new, but it’s there for us to do just that. Responsibly

Very helpful video and that painting looks completely transformed into 'Kristy style' to me. I'm still at the stage where I am copying works of other artists that I'm learning from online. It's very helpful as a beginner and it's definitely helped my drawing and composition skills. I think since I'm someone who isn't selling their work or even showing it to others as their own, I'm comfortable doing that. One thing that struck me in your video is the conversation about fear. I question why I'm unable to move from copying to trying to find my own style and it really is all about fear. Something to work on for sure

Watching and listening to this video is wild. I don't do a whole lot of visual art anymore (though I may be getting back into it soon!) but I started from two different but I think complimentary directions: drawing cartoon figures (anime, really, but some western inspo too) and pixel art/sprite editing. I say they're complimentary because they're both very intention-filled, and when working on a canvas of about 50x50px, while there's a lot of unseen *work* in the finished product of choosing colors precisely and managing gradients, one pixel art a time... Every pixel is still *visible*. To me, the idea of putting effort into drawing something, painting it, and then just painting right over it? Feels like madness. Which isn't a negative. I couldn't let go in the way you do with the watercolor stuff, I'm beginning to learn, lmao. Which is fine. I'm glad this world for you.

Quote on quote artists especially ones that are selling their art get so wrapped up in the rules end come up with off the wall stuff like in water colors You can't use this and you can't use that and don't do this and don't do that it's absolutely ridiculous you can't have any fun. The subject of stealing other people's art, It's such a hot topic and among artists it really gets the conversation going. One hundred percent that is your painting in this case. In retail you are sent out to look at your competition and see how they're displaying their items and if it looks good you steal from them but, There's no law to say you can't make the same display. But in art, it creates so much argument. It really makes your head spin. Even when you don't even plan on selling it just for practice. If it feels wrong to you, don't do it...

Side by side, I can still see they look very similiar. Especially with the butterfly where it is in relation to the berries. I can understand using the original as a source to see how the berries look or the shape of the berry leaves. And then arrange them in your own pattern on the page. Not everyone will have access to actual berry bushes. One needs some kind of refrence. I can understand tracing pages from a coloring book because you dont want to color in the actual book + maybe you want to practice a new media. Maybe you want to practice blending markers or you are just coloring for stress relief. Or maybe you are brand new to painting (like I am) and you are just learning how to actually paint. That I can understand - but you are not selling stuff. You just want to learn how to create shadows and light and you are at the very beginning stages of understanding this stuff. And not everyone has a goal of selling. But I would not copy ART. Use reference photos.

All well thought out points but it all begs more questions. Any Warhol’s soup cans… presumably made him a lot of $$ and his was worse than a trace by some standards. However his intentions weren’t to copy but commentary, just like mine. Mine is homage to Victorian botanical art. It’s not an easy copy but don’t sell convo. How do we measure the sincerity of intention?

I only know if I go walking in the woods - which is where I was for 1.5 hours - I don't see colored squares floating in front of the scenery. But if they make you happy that is all that matters.

Because its relaxing. And I am trying to draw Slapshot (who is a quarter horse I know)..

Hanging on my wall is an antique painting that I'm pretty sure is someone's student work where they copied a master artist. IMO, there's nothing wrong with studying (by that, I mean learning by attempting to emulate their work) the work of master artists. On the page or on the back, I will write that this was a study of the artist___. I wouldn't sell it, although it's funny because about 100 years later, clearly someone sold this guy's student work. If I am creating something for myself, I may be doing my interpretation of a mid-century or 19th century landscape to hang on my wall. I don't feel bad about that because few people are going to actually see it, I'm not trying to market my art, and, if anyone did see it, I'd happily tell them the truth. More than likely, they're going to assume it's a print. 😂That being said, as a creative, it really bothers me for other people to steal ideas from me. With the internet being basically a black hole, it's impossible to share your work or look something up to see if it exists without unwillingly sharing your ideas. It's bad enough that people I know do it. I've had people steal plot ideas, phrases from my writing, my bucket list, and my friends. That's probably why I don't try to put my work out there. I just enjoy doing it for what it is.

I can understand your reluctance to share your body of work on social media. Not everyone understands the difference between inspiration, influence from one’s mentors, the value of master studies, and theft/blatant copying. There’s a new YT creator who is also new to painting, and they overtly steal from other artists. Every other sentence is one of the following: “and now I’m going to add my signature ______(fill in the blank with something obviously stolen or a type of mark making that is so generic that it makes no sense for them to call it uniquely theirs).” “I am a prolific artist.” “I’ve only been doing this since the pandemic and have only had a few online classes; I don’t know the technical term for what I’m doing.”First I thought the channel owner was a troll, then I realized that they are serious. Any comment that offers a genuine, constructive, or academic critique gets deleted, and although the creator claims to be online to teach in spite of being new to painting, they guard a certain process with their life (again, nothing new or unique, but interesting), stating “It took me so long to learn and perfect this process, I may never teach it.” How sad.

I used photocopies of the book pages, cover and integrated with my own illustrations etc. I titled the piece after a quote from the book, something like “I do not wish to gaze at something that is no longer mine”. I sold this piece under the guidance of my professor ultimately and we discussed the ways in which it wasn’t copying but commentary.

Interesting point. I’m still seeing the clustering/cascading of berries + melon and placement of the butterfly. There are so many reasons any artist beginner or otherwise would start the process the way I did, with a trace: 1. A love and adoration of botanical renderings from the 17 and 1800’s inspiring a new work not built off botanical intricacy like the original but something else. The trace in this case become a rough blueprint for the honorary piece. Imagine it as a new way to collage without actually using a photocopy of the page. 2. No interest that day in flexing my sketching muscles. 3. Needing a compositional jumping off point and a desire to focus on line quality instead of illustration skills for the first layer of my piece. There are soooo many reasons🤍
