ok so i came up with an idea of mixing photography and paint. example... i took a b/w picture of some seats at fenway park the really old ones and i wanted to put that picture on a canvas and paint a colored backround with a few details. now i wanna know if anyone would like something like that. i havent really seen anything like that in gallerys here. so yea would you like it?

As mentioned previously, mixing multiple mediums has been around forever. That was one of the first assignment topics when I took a 2D design course a while back ago.
However, personally I like the sounds of what you are trying to do. I say go for it, you never know what will become of it unless you try.

This is something i experiment with often but I use older processes to create my work. painting directly on photographs can sometimes look cheesy if not done correctly. Personally I first use a process called cyanotype and then on top of that i use gum bichromate/arabic printing which is a process of mixing light sensitive chemicals to paint and carefully applying it to the paper. This is not something I recommend to just anyone. You have to know what you are doing when working with chemicals. Do some research online or get a book if you are interested.

I don't think you came up with it originally. The process has been done ever since the origins of photography. If you do your work in an original manner I guess it would be fine. If you are doing it to be unique, sorry, it has been done quite often.
I don't particularly like when the mediums are mixed. Good photography needs no enhancements, but do what you like. Other people differ in opinion from myself.

try it. If you do it and you like it im sure there will be others that do too. there are some big names that have mixed photography with paint. The only one that comes to mind right away is gordon parks. here is a couple of them at
