Here’s the deal: I won’t chase anyone down. You’re welcome to sell the paintings you create based on my tutorials—whether as originals, prints, postcards, or greeting cards. You can display them in exhibitions and festivals too (though do be cautious with competitions, as many don’t allow work derived from tutorials). At the end of the day, it’s your painting, and you’re free to do what you like with it 🌼.

I have just one simple request: if you found value in my tutorials, please consider mentioning me when the opportunity arises. Whether it’s in a conversation with fellow artists, a post on social media, or when someone asks where you learned something—feel free to share my name or website. That’s all I ask. A little word-of-mouth goes a long way.

You don’t need to label your work as “based on a tutorial,” and you definitely don’t need to write it on the back of prints or postcards. Just give a shoutout when it feels right. No pressure, no obligations. I trust people to be respectful and thoughtful 🌷🍀😊.
