My favorite artist. So happy to see this today.

[@Viking_QU33N]

I have watched her do this at workshops I’ve taken with her and am ALWAYS amazed ! I LOVE SHANNA!!

[@lynnt5859]

Shanna made the comment about starting late in life, I’m in my 60’s, discovered pottery first, during the pandemic shutdown, taught myself to draw, saying I was going to improve my surface decorating, and now I’m totally hooked on painting, can’t say what my favorite medium is, right now I’m working in acrylics, but I’ve also done pastels, oils and watercolors.

[@robertmilberg3027]

Not sure if I’m watching live or not. Shana made a comment regarding previous parts of a painting. I remember a comment that has struck with me for 50 years since art school. I was in a painting class and one of the students had a favorite part of her painting. She took some time to explain it to the professor in great detail as to why she liked it. The instructor said, you may like it but the painting doesn’t.

[@ronschlorff7089]

good one! Yes, the world does not need any more bad paintings!

[@harolkmiller]

Kay Miller from Texas, Shana is a lovely artist and instructor. I oil paint.

[@nancyparker2516]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video

[@VicePresident-y6l]

Love the idea of "search and destroy". Have tried this on several of my paintings. I call it "painting suicide". You have to be ready to scrap the whole thing it doesn't work.

[@Linda-kh6rl]

Thanks so much for putting her website on You Tube. This was a wonderful thing that you did.❤

[@carolinagartner519]

[@lidahusek9069]

That was amazing. I just scrubbed my watercolor to ghost painting and will start again. I know I will have a fun. Thank you for an idea.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Nice one Eric and Shanna. Yes, we all have paintings needing "revision" sometimes, maybe not destroyed but "improved" if possible. Some just won't respond, if basic composition is way off, so it is best to start over. If materials used are expensive, like linen canvas, I can understand the need to try to save it. I like to work small and make my own supports, if I get a good one it can always be made larger, it's not a big deal and saves materials in the long run. Plein airs of course should always be smaller, to get it done in time, say two hours in the field. If there is pressure to sell quickly, I can understand the need as Shanna says. Other than that, it is always best to get rid of really bad paintings if you can't save them. Have a good, bad, and ugly box, (cue that great music here, LOL) to store your work in, then try to save the bad ones, and just get rid of the ugly ones, is my advice, especially to beginners. In fact, a workshop teacher once said to us students, "don't die with bad paintings in your studio". Good advice, eh Eric!! LOL ;D

Question: this painting was never varnished, was it? A lot of pro artists of my acquaintance make a huge deal about varnishing their paintings as soon as the materials make it feasible and than make an even bigger deal about Never trying to paint over a varnished painting. What say you, Eric & Co? I'm a big fan of going back and redoing/improving on my earlier works, also as a warm-up for WIPs. But if I've already varnished them, I don't dare. Moreover -- this is clearly a technique for those who use wood panels, not canvas.

[@ShannaKunz]

I removed theGamvar varnish with Gamsol before the show!
