Im painting a picture and would like to have the Cross on it, but the teacher says it would look best at an angle…would this be alright?

I’m sure there are more than a few religious paintings that have depicted the Cross at an angle, so it’s fine to do so.
As long as it’s not an upside down crucifix or anything.

aye, it wont, thanks…
I saw an episode of some tv show, where a hero (with a Cross) turned bad, or more correctly was possesed (kind of) and so he truned the Cross to its side…well at an angle. But thanks! I never saw a painting as such before so I was worried.

The upside down cross is not necessarily a sign of the devil or whatnot… more properly it is the sign of St. Peter, and can be used correctly to portray that.
like on this very old altar:
and this modern throne:

Yes - the upside down CROSS is indeed a symbol of St Peter. Not to be confused with the upside down CRUCIFIX (with corpus).

you’re right of course…
Unless, the body shown is peter’s. But this painting isnt a painting of Peter’s crucifixion, so no worries there.
