Description
Fulani girl - Nigeria
Oil on canvas
Traditionally, People of the Fulani tribes of Africa have been cattle herders, through the centuries many settled down and turned to politics, successfully establishing a series of kingdoms between Senegal and Cameroon by the 19th century, and conquering the Hausa by about 1810. The Fulani held much of northern Nigeria in subjection until defeated (1900-1906) by the British. The religious beliefs of a large percentage of the cattle-herding Fulani are animalistic, although many of the politically oriented Fulani are Muslim.

Using a photograph by someone else as inspiration is alright, but it's usually good form to say as much!

I would be very happy to as I have in my other paintings and drawings on both da and my website but I can find no link to any original photographer despite looking very hard. if you know who the originator is please tell me so I can credit them appropriately.

Lianne-Issa, I love your pictures! Well done. I am new to the world of painting and would dearly love to paint the picture of the Fulani girl Nigeria. I have seen the original photo on the internet and wonder if I am allowed to paint it too. Would I be breaking any laws by doing so? Copyright etc. if so, how do I go about getting permission to paint it? I look forward to hearing from you.
