Copyright

Who owns the copyright if you buy a piece of artwork?

​

Purchase of artwork on this site does not include any rights to copyright, unless subject to a specific contract signed by both parties. Specifically the Buyer is purchasing the piece only, not the copyright. You should use common sense: in other words you can take a photo of your painting to show your Uncle Roy, but you can't print it on greetings cards and sell them. Copyright law also states that a signature on an original piece of art work must not be covered, removed or in any way altered or defaced.
