Rights And Licence

Hello,

I am new here. Can someone answer this question: is it allowed to reproduce a picture from somebody else into a paiting (and start selling it) without licence discussions?

no. its copyrighted to the artist, you would have to ask that person permission and only if they say yes. or give you a contract and a bill, will it be allowed. its a good way to get kicked out though and or sued by the other artist.

Thanks for the replies, but is it also the case when you put the subject p.ex. in a complete different Background?

Lawsuits are real and the risk is yours.

I don't even know what that means.

Why would a painter need someone else's work when they start with a blank canvas and their own imagination?

i'm not sure what p ex is, but this place isn't a stock warehouse of free images to use take and sell. if you want to sell here you must take your own image and make your own images. even if someone allowed the painting of an image, why would they want to be competed with their own work? and if you do buy stock, be sure to read the rules about what your getting. because sometimes you may not be able to resell it in any form.

using a subject - like a person? no. everything should be your own.
