Having had a disasterous few days painting, when several works have hit the bin, it made we wonder how others tackle the ones that don't work out quite right.
Do they go straight in the bin? Do they get stored away as reference works on ' how not to do it'! Do you attempt a rescue operation? Does it work?
Any great rescue tips? Have you a painting on your gallery that nearly hit the bin but was successfully rescued? If so, what did you do to recover the painting?
Lots of questions, but I never know whether I should keep the failures to remind me that the ones that do work out are valuable to me. I have attempted a few minor rescues, but nothing drastic.
