Painting Demo: Turning an Old Painting into Something New

April 27, 2023 | 0 comments

As promised, I’m doing a painting demo.

But instead of using a new canvas, I’m going to work on top of a painting I did but didn’t like. This is a great way to reuse your unwanted work and save some money too. Creating new work on top of an old one can be a little different when starting out; the surface has a different feel than regular canvas. But once you’re used to that, you can create something new while including elements or taking inspiration from the original piece.

Have you tried to reuse one of your paintings? Did you enjoy it, or did you find it challenging? Let me know in the comments.
