My son said the same thing after visiting the Louvre....That you walk down a corridor that lasts forever and at the end is this little "renowned" painting which is hardly "great".

You paint things over and over???...

Davinci was an impatient "sketcher"...with only a few paintings to his name.

I remember looking at the MonaLisa and saying under my breath “is that all there is?” LOL!

Not always do I paint things over, sometimes I get it right the first time and that is the best but I have painted things over more than once or twice.

I also take failed paintings and paint over them and reuse the canvas/board for a totally different painting. All artist do this. There might be a failed painting under every success. :)
