7x10 Pastel on Colorfix suede $150.00

 

I painted this a while ago and didn't think it had the spark it needed. In re-working I overworked.

I scraped the pastel off the surface with a palette knife, that didn't work.  I washed the surface with alcohol and that didn't work either. Now I had nothing to lose because I had already ruined it three times.  I heard this paper was indestructible so I took it to the sink, ran water over it and scrubbed off the pastel and let it dry overnight.  The next day I painted over the ghost image.  I think I will leave it alone for now.
