I tend to not want to desecrate portraits that are more than a century old, or ones that are painted effectively. One solution is to use gouache on top of the painting’s existing shellac. The result is completely reversible, allowing the modification to be erased with a wet cloth. As an added benefit, I can change the concept when I tire of it.

ABOUT
I take bad and discarded art, generally from thrift stores, and ‘improve’ on them. For a complete collection of my art, a term I use very loosely, go to matthewfranck.com/portfolio
