My family loves to travel so I chose 'Oh Darling Lets Be Adventurers' for the saying I wanted on my painting.

Knowing that I wanted a travel themed saying I went to the thrift store looking for a landscape piece. I hit the jackpot when I found this one for just a couple dollars.

I decided where I wanted my lettering to be and put down my stickers.

Spray paint!

Then I could pull up all my stickers and reveal my finished lettering.

Is this an original painting? The artist retains the copyright unless he/she relinquishes it or gives you permission to alter the work. Check with a lawyer just to be sure. The same is true of a copyrighted print. If the print has no copyright symbol, it's probably safe. There are plenty of court cases where artists and publishers have sued copyright infringers.

I like the white stripe. I think it mutes the painting and lets the quote shine. Do you remove the letters while the paint is still wet or after it dries?
