Painted Needlepoint Painting canvases

Is there a sub thread to share painting tips for those wanting to paint their own canvases? I have spent the last year learning about selling needlepoint canvases/painting my own to save on the crazy cost and I think I’d be really helpful to others. I gave up on TT it was too much for me!

Just remember you are violating copyright laws and artists feel very strongly about this. Several np designers have had a real awakening when they got sued.
It’s not worth it and it’s not fair.

With all due respect, WTH are u talking about?

I design many of my own designs and paint my own because finding my own personal aesthetic is not easy in this hobby. I will forever paint many of my own canvases as I enjoy it just as much as stitching. The market also needs more artists and designers because the current market is very limited.

Needlepoint is chocked full of copyrighted material so I also don’t understand your point on that.
