| small detail of large oil 33.5x48, still in process |
For me, it is my trusty razor. Each day I am at the easel I wipe away about half of what I do. Maybe it's too sharp, too thick, too descriptive, too purple, too dark, any of the many toos we can have. Say more with less.
For pastel it's easy, before I leave the easel I wipe with my palm or a tissue. With oil I often go into a scraping frenzy with my trusted razor or give it a rubbing with a paper towel or tissue.

First this is beautiful … second, I use a single edge blade to clean dry paint from my enamel butcher try.
As a watercolorist my best friend is a second piece of paper … lol. Actually it's a spray bottle in the winter time, in the summer it's the garden hose. By the way the painting posted prior to this one is really gorgeous B.
Thanks PB. I am so delighted to hear from you again. The garden hose! That's a lot of removal!!!!I agree that so much isn't needed and the pieces of leftovers adds to the feel...a sort of pentimento.
wow--! I would never have guessed this. I love all your paintings.
Thanks so much Celeste!
