Paint Splodges


PAINT SPLODGES...

Call them what you want, it's when the paint runs back on itself and eventually dries leaving what is known as   Run-backs - Blooms - Cauliflowers, all the same difference.  This is what I'm on about...





but don't panic.  
Some run-backs are good and I quite like to leave them if they are not
too obvious, it gives extra character (reason not an excuse).

However, it would be nice to know how to remove a run-back so
simply leave the painting to TOTALLY dry and I mean
REALLY DRY. 
When you're ready to tackle it, you will need a pot of clean water, not one like this which was on my desk



Use a synthetic brush (they cope better with this and saves you ruining your sables)
and have kitchen towel on hand too.

Wet the brush, but dab out the excess water then
rub over the 'run-back' area and quickly dab with the kitchen towel to dry the paper of
moisture and you have a painting minus run-back



Sorted!
