      You can do it! Just remember it's only paint, make a mistake? Paint it over and try again, paint is much more forgiving than let's say, decoupage.

      Art is very subjective!! That's the best thing about being an artist is being able to charge whatever you feel the piece is worth! It's deff a stunning piece! I was honored to be able to make it and her tree is way more difficult to paint!

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  Рік тому

      I'm not sure what the question is? That is my capital N just because it's not politically correct doesn't make it less art? That's how I chose to write it. If you want a politically correct N make sure when you recreate yours. You have it that way!

    Love these Brandy, I love the book tree, it looks awesome and the one you painted, IMO, looks better than the one where you saw it in the store. I keep on saying that I’m going to try and do a painting and now I’ve finished doing all my ornaments etc that I’ve been doing for the hampers the church is handing out, I think l try a painting for me. I never do anything for just me so now is the time. Thanks for the inspiration and TFS.

    If you're going to "dupe" or copy or steal ideas .. stick to the big box companies. Etsy is mostly Artists, it was their original idea and it really kinda sucks when people copy your ideas.

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  Рік тому

      I completely disagree here! You are entitled to your opinion, OBVIOUSLY! Since I am a decorative artist and create things, plus sell them for a living I just look at the glass half full! Which gives me an entirely different perspective! Have you ever heard of the saying that the " greatest form of flattery is imitation?" My friend Sammie actually has an entire series each month called "TRY is Tuesday" Dedicated to duping others works. Most trends start because of someone's original idea! Which has been known to make many very wealthy and famous! In addition. IF, I was taking these ideas and claiming them as my own that would be absolutely rude, and out of my character! That is not the case here and I do not disrespect any artist! My platforms is meant to inspire and help others create!
      Nothing brings me more JOY than the messages and emails I receive each month of people COPING MY IDEAS. I love seeing that what I do brings people so MUCH JOY they want to do it themselves. And, those that don't can always purchase from me!

    • @LaraArt1
      @LaraArt1 Рік тому

      @@thediystruggle At least post their site information and give them credit. I was offended as an artist. It obviously your channel. You do you, but the way you did it was disrespectful. In my opinion.
      * tell all the creators that have their designs stolen by Temu and Wish ect how flattered you are when someone copies you. I am sure that will make them feel better.

    Are you saying you would be cancelled for painting a bible? Trust me UA-cam itself- they love that evil stuff. But if you mean youd get cancelled for letting the bible show on your ornament steal then yes i i can see why anti -Christ people on yt would cancel you

    • @thediystruggle

      I'm saying on any given day whatever one person would think of as an issue for me doing anything to a Bible if it offended them.
      I was raised catholic and went to catholic school almost my entire life. So, there could be many reasons anyone would have any given issue with me doing anything to a Bible. I was just making a joke here.
      Hope this helps it's be more specific for you
