Description

Gouache - Prussian blue, yellow ochre and spectrum red on card, 16.8cm x 10cm.


There comes a time when all attempts to salvage something fail and you're left trying to pick up the pieces. At a particular point the realisation hits that the work will never be finished and it's time to do some housework. This is a cropped detail of the failed piece that ran away from me beyond the point of return.


What I learned here

It's OK if it doesn't work - you can just start again

Be patient - I in went too dark too early
