Hi all, i was recently given a reference pic of an old train to paint. The train looked interesting and i felt it would be a challenge. I painted it in watercolour and was pleased with the result.
In the meantime i was trawling the net for educational information for my grand-daughter and found the very same ref pic on an educational site - its exactly the same so, i can only assume that the person took it from the site and gave it to me to paint.
I was going to show it here on wetcanvas too.
Will i be in breach of copyright laws if i show it? I won't be selling it as the person has now moved away.
How would i find out who exactly ownes the ref pic? It is not a photograph by the way it is maybe a lithograph as the train was built in 1808 in London.
It would be a shame to store it in a cupboard or under the bed.
Please ADVISE ME as i would not wish to break any laws - anywhere.
I TRIED TO DELETE THIS THREAD BUT COULDN'T. SINCE POSTING THIS I HAVE READ THE OTHERE LEGAL THREADS AND NOW KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE. THANKS ANYWAY.
