Even if you are not striving for realism, you see things in a reference that you would not think of. Since you are not doing exact copies of the original reference and you are creating truly unique, original works of art, I think you are fine. But I am not an expert on the law, so don't quote me!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801531027698899120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-33679898063407965292013-09-09T18:42:22.440-07:002013-09-09T18:42:22.440-07:00The impressionists used to go to the Paris museums...The impressionists used to go to the Paris museums and set up to copy past masters..

Remember when you learned to write - you followed the outline, then copied the letters, then you could do it all by yourself & develop your own unique handwriting. I copy (scraplift) all the time in my scrapbooking, but it's always my own unique layout. (Of course, I agree that if you are selling or otherwise displaying something as your own it would need to be original.)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-15815457420522243632013-09-08T12:49:59.092-07:002013-09-08T12:49:59.092-07:00These are both wonderful!

Then you make it your own, and I think you have done that.

If you use a modern, you have to be careful of copyrights but if it is practice, and not to sell, you are ok. If it is a living person, it is always nice to ask if you can use their images for practice.Ayala Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685455399147271512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-21913469737321720492013-09-06T06:29:41.843-07:002013-09-06T06:29:41.843-07:00These are great...but I'm with you I also feel...These are great...but I'm with you I also feel uncomfortable copying!!
