Ever notice how much good paint gets wasted while cleaning your brush?
I started keeping an extra canvas nearby while painting...I like to call it my “Wingman.” Instead of wiping paint away, I use those extra colors, textures, and brushstrokes to build an entirely separate piece of art.
This simple painting trick will help you:
• Use up extra paint
• Keep colors flowing naturally
• Reduce waste
• Create unexpected abstract paintings
• Stay loose and creative during a session
Sometimes the wingman painting becomes better than the original.
Do you keep a second canvas nearby when you paint? Let me know how you use up extra paint in the comments.
✨Finished works)can be found on my website.
