Perhaps you should do so-so pieces more often, they they'll get a wonderful make over like this one. Personally, I like the darkness - it adds drama. And some of the greatest artists of history have relied upon darkness to create the most amazing works.

I almost always have a better 2nd painting over the "so-so" version. However, I haven't had that kind of luck washing off an old pastel and repainting (in pastel) over it. I like your idea to gesso over the old image. <br /><br />Is this a kelp image? I think I like it!Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816170091944672081.post-47538644310289583592010-09-30T20:48:15.703-07:002010-09-30T20:48:15.703-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.com
