Question
Hello, I am in a drawing class, in the middle of painting a picture of a sunset, and someone raised the question that it might be forbidden to draw and hang a picture of the sun. What is the halacha on this?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is forbidden to draw a picture of a complete sun. However, if you draw it with part of it covered, [such as at sunset], it is permitted.
