The painting will be sold for profit and looks very much like the original image. Does a painting count as a derivative work, as it is not technically using the original image?

no, making a hand drawn version is never a copyright violation. a mechanical made copy (xerox, photo etc) can sometimes be a violation. now the subject pictured in the photo might have objection to being copied if it is a trademark or famous person but rarely can they make a case for protection once a photo has been distributed with their permission.

If it is recognizable you run the risk of violating the copyright holder. I suggest you send a photo of your painting to the photographer asking permission to use the photo.

I wouldnt think so as long as you dont sell them. I should know, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! I will take a #2 Miller Lite soap on a rope!
