Oil Painting FAIL: How to start over | Painting a Maine Coon kitten

Have you ever been painting and realized you just couldn’t save the piece? That happened to me this weekend - I covered up the entire canvas, let the paint dry, and then realized I didn’t want that background at all, and instead I wanted to be able to see the raw linen that I had just covered up. So today I want to share how I solved that problem - from how I realized this painting wasn’t working, how I could have avoided needing to start over, how I’m going to recycle my first panel so it doesn’t go to waste, and how I made sure that my second attempt to paint my adorable Maine Coon cat, Boomer, wouldn’t fail. This video was a bit unique is that I actually narrated a good portion of it while I was working, so instead of just seeing the time lapse, you get a look at what painting in real time looks like for me. I had a ton of extra footage though, so if you like seeing the real-time painting and would like to see longer videos, please comment down below and let me know
