ASSIGNMENT FOR FRIDAY OCTOBER 4
For Friday Oct 4th, find a disliked and or failed painting, one not really worthy of hanging onto. Wash the surface pigment off under a faucet or by submerging it under water. Let the water loosen the pigment, gently help lift off the colors with a brush or sponge if needed. When dry, sketch and paint a new subject over the top of the ghost image left behind. To add interest, let the ghost image show thru in places. Choose an over-painting that suits your ghost image. Below, are some ideas of possible over-paintings.
