I can't believe I have wasted an entire day trying to contact an artist. I have searched all his socials but it seems he has gone low-key since last year. Before you start guessing why I would trace an artist, an explanation is due...
I am going nuts about watercolors nowadays. I don't remember the last time I got so passionate about something that I went to all extremes to learn it. I scroll Pinterest day and night to get inspiration for Art and pin artwork that I think I can recreate for my practice.
Two days ago, I pinned an artwork and later in the night, after putting kids to bed, I sat down to recreate it. I had to get up in three hours for sehri but I was getting restless to do it. It took me an hour to complete the painting. It wasn't perfect but it looked good considering that it was my first proper painting with watercolors.
Next day, I thought of sharing it with you all and a thought struck my mind.
Wouldn't it be illegal to share that painting here?
I copied it, it was fine as long as it was just that. But I was going to share it on Steemit where I could get some bucks for it, so technically I was going to re-sell a copy of someone else's work which sounded unfair to the artist.
With a confused mind, I asked stef1 about the matter and she suggested that I contact that artist and get his consent . It sounded fair enough and the search began.
It all goes back to finding him on social media which I am unable to do.
Let me clear, I didn't create a masterpiece . It was just that sometimes I like to share things I like.
After spending the whole day glued to the screen and in frustration, I planned to go out for Iftari with my family. We decided to go to Peshawar which is exactly an hour drive from home.
Our destination was Sheraz Ronaq, a very famous restaurant known for its buffet. I had been to that place three years ago. It was a different experience back then but food-wise it was altogether the same. At Least one good thing about the day was good food.
Like always, I didn't take any food pictures because when food arrives, I forget about the camera and focus on eating alone. XD
However, I took a picture of the famous Peshawari Qehwa which I didn't like, hence the picture.
After coming back, I still didn't get any response from the artist and now I am writing this post in frustration to let it all out.
Maybe I shall not recreate and already try creating my own pieces. 😬
Frustrated,
event-horizon
Hola @event-horizon. Imagino tu frustración al querer compartir en steemit esa obra de arte perteneciente a ese autor que aún desconoces. Esperemos aparezca pronto y de su consentimiento.
Tengo el mismo problema que tú, casi nunca le tomo foto a la comida por qué la espero con mucha hambre y cuando me acuerdo de tomarle foto ya me he comido medio plato jeje
Saludos

I have left messages for him. Let's see if he checks them or not. In any case, I'm going to find some approchable artist's work next time or simple create something of own.
In the same boat. I remember when the plate doesn't look as pretty for a picture. 😂

I think legally it's okay if you put your own name under it. You are not trying to fake an expensive work of art with the name of the original artist, and the same accusation could be made without a signature. By indicating that you yourself are the author, there is nothing formally objectionable. Duplication or copying is permitted.
Ich denke, juristisch ist es okay, wenn Du Deinen eigenen Namen darunter setzt. Du versuchst nicht, mit dem Namen des Originalkünstlers ein teures Kunstwerk vorzutäuschen und ganz ohne Signatur könnte man den gleichen Vorwurf erheben. Indem Du kennzeichnest, selbst die Urheberin zu sein, ist formal nichts zu beanstanden. Abmalen bzw. kopieren ist erlaubt.

Actually, I thought to do my research on this matter. There were mixed statements which got me confused. Therefore, I decided to opt for the most reasonable option that is to ask permission from the original artist.
But then I thought we see numerous copies of Mona Lisa now and people freely sell it. How do they get consent of Leonardo Da Vinci? XD

I don't think there's an issue if you're recreating someone's work and giving them the due credit? I mean if you paint a picture, and you mention the the original piece and it's creator, you're good to go, no? That's just my opinion.
Also, it was my first time in Peshawar a couple of weeks back and I tried their qehwa at Nisar charsi tikka. I am not a huge fan of qehwa but I actually liked it even though we were dining in under scorching heat, it still tasted good xD

Well, I think things are not that simple on Steemit. We are getting rewards for what we post here, in other terms, earning.
I use the painting for personal learning, it's fine. I recreate it to practice, it's fine. I recreate it to earn through it, I'm not sure if it's fine unless I have the permission of the original creator.
When it comes to images, we use only copyright free because others are mostly not allowed by their creators to use commercially.
An artwork is automatically copyright protected as soon as it comes in tangible form. Therefore, it's better to avoid using it controversially.

That's what I said in one of my comments above. I can't go asking Da Vinci for MonaLisa. 😂
I'm not sure but I think there's some kind of a law that keeps the work of artists or other creators under protection for upto 70 years post demise, after that the owner-ship is passed on to the heir or to the state and they decide how to use it.
@stef1 might help here as I'm new to this and still learning how it all works.

Your such acts make you unique from other people on steemit. I think it wouldn't be illegal if you mention another artist work. It would be illegal when you say that its your own work and didn't give credit to real artist. I am not good in painting but I will try it because I love to capture beautiful moments like well known artist do.
I also didn't take pictures of food in a restaurant. I don't know but it looks awkward. My aunty is from Peshawar and the all family members are huge fan of Peshawari Qehwa. Have a blessed day.

The original artist decides what's legal and what's not. We can't mould the law for our gains.
Peshawari Qehwa is mostly liked by all. As for me, I'm not into drinks or beverages much. I'm a simple person who likes chayee, coffee, coke and fresh lime.. nothing more, nothing less. 😂
Thankyou for your kind words.

I wish you get in touch with the artist soon because I really can't wait to see your art. Its okay to get frustrated sometimes but please sis don't let it get on your nerves. By the end of the day only thing that matters is mental peace. So just stay calm and I'll pray that the artist gets back to you soon. InshAllah. Loads of love your way ❤️

Te parases a mi cuando me enfoco en algún evento ejemplo cuando quería aprender sobre piedras preciosas era todo el día mirando videos investigando así dure varios años aprendiendo cada una de las gemas preciosas y semi preciosas y luego me toco la parte mas difícil tratar de encontrarlas no es para nada fácil.
Te esta pasando que buscas y buscas información y parece que nunca consigues lo que quieres por eso es la frustración pero te hacen daño sin saberlo por que abecés seguro te sientes que se te acaba el aire eso es por la ansiedad y luego te da temor por que no quieres que eso te pase y llega otra ves.
lo mas recomendable es que cada cierto tiempo te distraigas la mente en otras actividades recreacionales de la naturaleza o algo que te guste hacer que sea diferente.

Hi @event-horizon, it is sometimes we spent much time to research and prepare to do something. I can actually suggest many tutorials that you can use they are on Youtube and some of the tutors even have their website with templates of the drawings and also while watching them you can learn and maybe to take the technique :)

It happens sometimes that we thought of doing something and soon just after starting it, we get passionate about it.
I have seen some of your paintings and seriously I am loving them. You paint them finely and especially I personally feel that it's too hard to blend the watercolors it always results in a mess when I try to do it but lots of appreciation for you <3
