Time for a Do Over

I recently took a class from a well-known artist online, and while I loved the class, I didn't love what I painted.  It just wasn't me.
 
So I decided it was time for a do over.


I got the paint out and just randomly starting scraping paint over my girl.  It was quite therapeutic!


I added lots more layers of paint and paper and when I was finished, my painting looked like this.











I show this to encourage those of you who might paint something and really hate it.  Just paint over it ~ until it is something you love!

    I love this, too! I become so discouraged when I hate something, I start ripping layers off...LOL Now, I'll just paint over it.
