Deeefinitely creepy.
Hm, it's a very interesting one, but it's not scary to me, at all. I'd love to have access to this thing. Might just be me though.
Pretty well written, although the flow might use some work, halfway through the event log everything is fairly predictable, save for the clouds and sun being converted.
What happens to tattoos?

All personnel of Level 2 or above clearance are free to view SCP-1891 at their leisure.
Why can't Level 1 people view it? It doesn't do anything to those who view it.
SCP-1891 is a 40cm x 40cm painting depicting a stooped humanoid figure.
Might want to give the figure it's own designation, like SCP-1891-1.
SCP-1891's conversion occurs in five (5) minute 'shifts'.
Also might want to give the painting undergoing conversion its own designation.
When paintings affected by SCP-1891 are destroyed, the humanoid figure returns to SCP-1891.
So the figure can only jump to other painting from it's "home" painting?
Represented machines created by SCP-1891 conversions will typically expand until they fill the whole painting. After this point, minor expansion will be visible in the represented machine, but it will largely remain in a constant state.
Hmmm, so if the affected painting started out filled with machinery, would it just perform minor tinkerings on it?
What would the Church of the Broken God make of this?
Not suggesting there needs to be a connection, just pondering out loud.
Actually, that raises a good point: does this affect more than one painting at once? If so, does the human figure appear in all of them simultaneously? If not, is there some point at which one conversion is "complete" and the next painting gets affected?

Just noticed an inconsistency… near the beginning of the description, it says paintings set near it will be converted. No other art types are even mentioned, let alone speculated on. Then the log has it working on a pencil sketch (which, rumor has it, is not a painting).
I was just about to comment on that, also noting that the conversion process refers to various colored items, like the yellow liquid and the green grass. If the test painting needs to be something made quickly, turn it into an ink-and-watercolor painting. Those (generally) take far less time than an acrylic or oil paintings.

On a more serious note what happens if you take the painting away from whatever artwork it had influenced? Does the artwork remain changed? Also has anyone cross-tested this with paintings made by SCP-753, the Automatic Artist.
