Yes, you can sell these paintings, but you shouldn’t make reproductions of them. Additionally, you should disclose that these works are studies, as they aren’t original creations.
Many students have sold their assignment paintings to friends and family to help raise funds for additional supplies or to help with their monthly installment payments.
In Part 2 of the program, you will learn more about developing your own unique style and voice, below are some of the general rules about using photography as a source.
To create artwork that is uniquely yours, you should:
- Alter the Style: Transform the image into your own artistic voice. This means changing the style significantly, not just making minor adjustments.
- Use Multiple Sources: Combine elements from various source images to create a new, unique composition. This approach reduces the risk of your work being seen as a copy of any single photograph.
- Develop Your Own Style: The Mastery Program at Milan Art Institute emphasizes finding and developing your own voice and style. After building foundational skills, you will work on creating art that reflects your personal vision and style.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently sell your paintings while maintaining artistic integrity and respecting the rights of original photographers.
