This is part three of me working on an oil painting that I want to change. Originally this tree branch had a cardinal sitting on it. I've wiped out the cardinal and now continue in this video rebuilding/adding to the branch.

This is part 2 of changing an oil painting that you don't like. In part 1, I wiped out a cardinal that was in the center of the oil painting. Now I'm considering what direction I want to take the painting. I'm noticing the light in the background and I have to consider the tree branch in the foreground of the painting.

If you've got an old oil painting laying around that you just don't like, or something in it just isn't working for you, don't throw it away - change it.
I've put together a series of videos to show how I changed an oil painting that started with a cardinal but ended with a different creature. I encourage all my oil painting students to do the same thing - dig out that oil painting that you gave up on years ago and improve it. Don't be afraid to mess it up - you already don't like it!
So check out the video below and the ones to follow to see if you can apply some of what you learn to some of your own oil paintings.
