Currently struggling with what is on my easel at present. I started a painting and got to a point where I was so dissatisfied I decided it was best to start over completely. Having started again, my result was much stronger than the first attempt but still had some glaring issues that needed to be resolved. This time I decided to make corrections and try to save/build on what was done. Still adjustments and refinements needed to "hit the mark" I wonder at what point do you attempt to salvage something? When to make corrections or decide to start fresh and bear the previous mistakes in mind? Any traditional medium has a layering process that, I think, at some point cannot have corrections added as they are almost impossible to interweave the corrections in without having them stand out as being mismatched from the natural layering process of the rest of the piece. When do you call it quits and start again and when you you try and persevere and save what youve got?

https://www.instagram.com/legaspifineart Meta has censored my old IG into oblivion. I even paid for Meta verified and they STILL insisted I take down my (non-nude) drawings they deemed "sexually explicit". Help me grow this account so I reach the masses with our message. Thank you for the support 🙏✍️
