I have prepared my canvases and am stumped on content due to fear of infringing on someone's copyright. What interests me are tropical and European landscapes and street scenes. I don't have the means to go to these places to take reference photos myself so the closest solution I can come up with is to DVR travel shows on TV, or use period piece DVD's, and pause the action on a captivating scene to then take a picture of the still image on the screen with my camera to use as a reference photo. My style would be impressionistic or blurred-type paintings of a portion of the captured scene. If I were to sell any of these paintings, would I be breaking copyright laws?
