Can you create an 'original' piece of artwork if you use many different references to create a piece. Say you find a photo of an unknown person, a photo of a yacht and a commercial ad for a bottled drink... then you create a painting of the person in same position, put them in different clothes with different colored hair, etc. on a similar yacht holding a bottle using your own expression of background, layout and color palette . Would this be an considered as a 'original' if you used others photos as references? I get very confused as to what is considered an original and what is not. If submitting this for a art contest and asked to show any reference photos you used, would this be considered a 'original'? I would very much love it if someone can explain this to me.
