At the art club demonstration, I continued building up the colors. Then I laid this painting against the wall (upside down) and took out another painting to work on. I thought this one was dry, but it wasn’t! Not until I was packing up did I realize that the basket handle had been wet and the brown paint had run into the background. (Top left area just above the basket handle).
I dipped a Qtip into alcohol to rub off the brown paint (see the close up) which also took off some of the cobalt.

Deb, the pink color on the basket is wonderful. As for the accidental streak, could you turn it into a crack in the plaster or some shadow...I love this painting!
I hope you can fix the mistake, Deb. Maybe go darker blue all over and it won't show much? Or just think about those wooden posts that hold lamps, etc - and put one there going from top to down where you can see the blue behind the basket?
Have you tried Mr. Clean Magic erasers? It works great on watercolor paper. You have to have the original ones.
Thanks Christiane!
Carrie - have used those on w/c paintings and thought about it for this but chose the alcohol instead.
C, C and Rhonda - I'll deal with the correction in my next post!!!
