 It was close. I almost threw away a painting. I never throw them away. Even the bad ones. I recycle them. But this one was giving me fits and I couldn't bear to work on it any more. So I put is aside for a few weeks. But then I needed a candidate for a new series on my YouTube and Patreon channels.....Fix it or Trash it?  This painting was perfect.....perfectly BAD.  You can see what I did to recycle the paper in my new video. Click the link below to watch.





Here is one of the main points I make in the video: It is not always what you add to a painting that fixes it but instead what you take away!





Expanded commentary on this video coming soon on Patreon. Stay tuned!

  1. Another great demo. Not only how to save paper, but how you create such amazing paintings from an nice but bland photo!
