Terms & Disclosures

Privacy & Data Collection 

Drawing Ideas is committed to protecting your privacy. I use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about visitor traffic (such as country of origin, age range, and general interests). This data is curated solely for personal analytics to help me understand what content my readers enjoy most and to improve the website experience.

This tracking does not identify you personally. However, if you wish to opt out of Google Analytics demographic tracking, you can manage your settings by adding this extension to your Chrome browser: Google Opt Out Add On.

Affiliate Disclosure 

To keep Drawing Ideas running and to support the creation of free content, this website participates in various affiliate marketing programs.

Amazon Associates Disclosure Drawing Ideas is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

General Affiliate Links In addition to Amazon, I work with other premium art resources (such as Blick Art Materials, Skillshare, and others). This means that some links to products or services on this site are “affiliate links.”

  • How it works: If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the vendor pays me a small commission.

  • No Extra Cost: You pay the exact same price as you would if you visited the site directly. The commission comes out of the vendor’s pocket, not yours.

Editorial Integrity 

My reputation as an artist and educator is my most valuable asset. Therefore:

  • No Paid Reviews: I do not accept money, free products, or any form of compensation in exchange for positive reviews.

  • Honest Recommendations: My product recommendations are controlled solely by my editorial guidelines and my own professional opinion. I only recommend tools and resources that I have personally used or that meet my high standards for quality.

Copyrights & Image Policy 

As an artist myself, I take copyright very seriously.

  • Ownership: All original paintings, drawings, text, and photos created by me (the site owner) are the property of Drawing Ideas and LaRiviere Design, LLC.

  • Third-Party Images: Visuals published on this website that are not my own are used with permission. I strive to personally contact artists to request permission before featuring their work. My goal is to promote fellow artists and their talent, not to exploit it.

  • Captions & Credit: Every third-party image includes a caption with credit to the artist and, where possible, a link back to their portfolio or website.

Notice of Takedown: While I strive for 100% accuracy in permissions and crediting, errors can occur. If you are a copyright owner and believe your work has been used on this site without authorization or proper credit, please contact me immediately [Link to Contact Page]. I will remove the material or update the credit promptly.

5. Submissions: If you have artwork you would like to be featured on Drawing Ideas (with full credit!), please email me. I love showcasing work from the community.
