So this is Day 4 or Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings and 30 days challenge.
Sometimes I see an acrylic painting in my studio that was ok at the time but basically annoys me now. This was one of those paintings so I decided to just paint right over it in oils from a still life set up. I like it much better now and it was certainly good practice to sketch right over the paintings with my oils and go for it. A little bit of the original painting is peeking through. A closer inspection shows it better.I wish I had taken a picture of the original and I know that it is posted somewhere on this blog but I couldn't find it. It was a little village with a graffiti-like background. I probably would paint over more of these graffiti -like paintings but several of them sold a couple of years ago. Who would'a thought???
Martha, I like it that you just went with your guts and painted over the old painting. This one looks beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI love this, it is full of light and warmth!
ReplyDeletePainting over old, unloved painting is a good way to re-use a canvas and the old under layer may add interest, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm painting with acrylic and I want to try oil, too.
This is so gorgeous
