Sometimes, again, there's different ways that you can actually fix something. If the mistake
is really, really blatant, and you just can't live with it, and it's kind of off to the
side, you can always do what I've done here with this piece. There was another part, and
I just cropped the image, and turned it into a different image from when it started. But
the mistake was gone, and it doesn't irritate me nearly as much when I look at it now as
it did before. And now I can go on and finish this piece, and I will be happy with it. We
talked earlier about the gold and silver leaf...excellent for covering errors. I....I have a piece where
I... I don't know where I was and what I was thinking, but I completely destroyed the background.
It was nothing that I wanted. So I simply went in and laid some white gold leaf and
some copper leaf, and that actually did some wonderful things with the background, turned
it into a completely different piece, and everyone was very happy with it. So, again,
if you've studied enough of your materials, you've experimented, you've played around
enough, there's not much that can go wrong that you can't fix.
