The latest falls into this category:
"I paint scenes from films ... always just one frame in hundreds of thousands that nobody would notice..."
Obviously the person concerned has their doubts about what they're doing or they wouldn't have asked, and full credit for that. But, really, we all know films are copyrighted and how could it make a difference that it's only one frame from the whole film that you're painting? Surely common sense tells you that every single detail in a film is covered by its copyright? Why would this little bit and that little bit somehow be exempt? The fact it's not "common sense" reinforces the need for copyright fundamentals to be a compulsory element in education at every level.Making a painting from a photo or a film that isn't your copyright falls under the category of derivatives. It's a myth that changing 10 percent makes it okay, or that it's covered by fair usage laws. It's not a legal test, but I judge derivatives like this: if the painting and the photo were put alongside one another, would someone say the one was based on the other. If the answer is yes, then it's a derivative and you're on dubious ground. There are other sources of reference material you could use without any copyright issues. Take a look at the photos on Flickr licensed with a Creative Commons copyright notice that allows derivatives asking for attribution only for instance; there are some fabulous things there.

Such as negotiating a price with a client that leaves you feeling suitably remunerated and them not feeling ripped off, figuring out what kind of painting they have in mind, and getting the money. About.com's Guide to Graphic Design, Eric Miller, has a series of articles on these topics. Although they're written with graphic designers in mind, there are plenty of tips painters will find helpful too:

Comments (0)PermalinkPainting PumpkinsWednesday October 8, 2008
Mostly I associate pumpkins as something used to stop the roof of a tin shack blowing off in the wind, but then I didn't grow up somewhere that Halloween was celebrated or even promoted in shops. Commercialism aside, there's a lot of fun to be had getting creative with a pumpkin, both with a knife to carve a design and painting a pumpkin. The two pumpkins in the photo (see larger version) are by Painting Forum Member MaryAnn Heeb (aka Nanaspice49). If you've any photos of painted pumpkins, do pop into the forum to share them here.
