A few years ago I made some paintings I wasn’t pleased with but before I painted over them I played around with some phone filters. Now I wish I had kept the paintings and re-did them to match the phone filtered versions
But today the obvious occurred to me – that before I abandoned a painting, or when I get stuck, I should experiment with some digital versions to see what potential I might have overlooked.
The original was 24″ x 36″ acrylic on panel.

STUDIOBONGOI’ve never done anything with photo software – wouldn’t know where to begin! What did you do in this pic that’s different from your painting?
Just one filter from an app called Prism. I was liking the painting except for the upper left – I re-painted it many times but was never satisfied, I finally got so sick of it, I gessoed it over. I should have just set it aside for a week or two. That’s what I do now with the ones that don’t make the cut.
this is the original painting – 24″x36″ acrylic on panel.

STUDIOBONGONever tried a phone app but have used software on computer for a loooong time – it’s fun – also useful.
I really like the subject of your painting and see what you mean about the top corner – the manipulation keeps your comp but simplifies the b/g and – voila – problem solved!
Must check Prism! – thanks.:)Cheers, Maureen
