Fun game and nice execution! I think I experienced a bug where it thought my entire painting was wrong (exceeded 400 pixels wrong on a painting that wasn't too far off).
Very cool game. It went well until I lost $2k to some snob that didn't appreciate my fine art skills.
I really liked it, having to do all the actions yourself. But sometimes the mouse button would get stuck and I had to repeatedly click to let something go, which was a bit annoying. But awesome entry nonetheless!
Great concept, and it was executed pretty well. I played with a trackball, but had no problem raking in cash. ;)
A few small suggestions: 1. I love the tactile-feeling UI, but the paintbrush should be a simple circle indicating where I'm actually going to paint; it's very hard to be precise because it's unclear where the paint will go. 2. The canvas image's torn edges can really throw you off since it looks like you're closer to the edge of the image than the game treats it.
The controls were a little buggy, or I did not do something right. For instance I could not drop the paint brush that easily. Other than that, I really liked the idea, and playing the game was really fun!

My girlfriend laughed about me, but I'm an artist now. \o/
Super awesome! Painstakingly reproducing a difficult work and getting rewarded really well for it is a great feeling. I definitely like how the rewards are heavily weighted towards very close reproductions - makes it really seem worth it to work slowly and carefully instead of just churning through sloppy work to make money.
Liked the style and presentation- had a little difficulty with stuff getting stuck to the mouse, load / trash / purchase of canvas being automatically place would have been cool, I got fined heavily as I had trouble swapping between the brush and the canvas. Great idea though, would be cool to see it polished a little more - would make a great mobile game. :)
Cool concept. I like how everything is draggable and how you can scroll the view up to get back to the title screen. Although I found it a bit difficult to draw accurately with the mouse. Managed to get to level 14.

It was fun though!

Otherwise, loved it. Were you by any chance inspired by Jon Blow's Painter game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAJ60gBBjjU
