You are delightfully creative Arty. You remind me to explore more places /ideas than just trying to confidently paint a scene - as is. That is another role for an artist.
All right, here’s a landscape that has gone wrong. And it’s a shame because it was getting close to the end with this painting. I bought a Winsor & Newton hot press pad of watercolour paper. It favouredfine details, not so many washes. That was OK by me because I don’t play around in the washes except to lay down the sky or an ocean. Anyways, this is a scene in TULUM Mexico when we went back in 1997 and I was just touching up a little area in the sky, hardly hit it with any paint it all, and I noticed there was a flaw in the paper and it distracted from the painting. So I tried to do a little more to just try to cover it up and the paper just lifted up -between the different layers. A hole started opening up and I was a little surprised. I let it dry and it was a mess. Then I tried to save it with thicker acrylic paint that I was going to blend in and it just never worked. So I had to abandon the painting. I have thought of cutting out part of the painting and somehow applying it on top of another painting that I would do with the sea and the sky. A little bit like one of those children’s books you open up and there’s layers. Because I do like the little bit of area that I painted in detail. The rocks, the building, the beach. Maybe I’ll save it yet. it might be cool to do a 3-D look if I put it in a 3d shadowbox. You know that might be a fun challenge to put on the forum. We all have to take a piece of art that we like, but for some reason, it hasn’t worked, and resolve it in a new way.
Next, any incomplete work that you like, but could not finish for some reason. Or put another way, art that went wrong!
