"Can this painting be saved? I'm afraid I will ruin it if I try to fix it." we have all been there! Maybe you have a strong composition or strong color but the values are off. The values are accurate but oof-- that color!! Maybe it would look better cropped. The painting isn't working as is but you like the subject or parts of the painting. Bring your troubled work. Let's evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and see them with new eyes.
