“There is no "wrong" in Art - people said Van Gogh was wrong and Picasso was wrong. I think that painting is fantastic and so does Van Gogh I just asked him,” wrote a Twitter user.
“She 'done it right',” shared another. “1st of all it’s a great painting. 2nd, absolutely you can’t do art wrong. Too many ‘art’ teachers confuse copy catting what they do with learning art. I’m completely self-taught. I didn’t want anyone telling me how to do my art. I hope your daughter does her own thing too,” shared a third along with this image:
