There is a difference between tracing and painting my own hand you know ;) One requires click, the other requires years of hard work.
There is link to source, next time spend some time reading the entire post ;)

This piece is 100% traced, then painted on top with exactly the same shading.
The link to the source was added after we commented on the post.
Here is the evidence that proves it: http://scribe.steemian.info/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsteemit.com%2Fart%2F%40marty-arts%2Fmy-art-watercolored-peony-painting

I totally concur with you, copying is not theft, but copying something and not showing what you are copying and not even mentioning what you are copying of that you are copying is deception. This is not about copyright, its about deception and basing your work on another artist's work and not giving credit to it, namely, plagiarism.

This is all just your opinion. Your opinion is not law. She traced it and created something in another medium on her own.

It's funny that @jaguar.force is on a hunt for plagiarism but is stealing other people's images big time: https://steemit.com/abuse/@thermoplastic/re-jaguarforce-jaguar-force-expands-20190210t105141354z?fbclid=iwar3ucs_9mgxyqr4wcyrilfmveeybchimswc1fkoginnqqpwfclw4phflrhg

What a fucking hypocrite!

The very head cleaner of SteemCleaners just told you otherwise in that very same post.

I think with a painting with such level of detail is kinda implied the artist had to use some form of reference, you cannot paint something like that from memory...unless you're kim jung-gi and even his drawings are not that realistic..., which reference the artist used is irrelevant for me, her skills as a painter is what I praise and thus why I upvote and promote this post.

You are an art curator for ntopaz and you have to respect the rules of ntopaz, which include and I quote:

If you have practiced copying another person's work, you must specify the author and source.

Period, have a nice day.
