I put my paint on wax paper and smoosh my canvas in it. Sometimes I'll turn the canvas in different directions to fill some spots I miss. Then I take paper or cardboard (this is a great way to recycle that stuff we usually throw out like cereal boxes, kleenex boxes etc.) and get the excess paint off the wax paper. I then put everything aside to dry and decide what I am going to do. I even save the wax paper and sometimes use it on other mixed media things I happen to work on, por as part of a journal.
The picture below is one I did in November and haven't created anything with it yet.
The ones below are the ones I did yesterday and left to dry. After looking at the canvas, I now want to just leave it as a picture and call it Poinsettia.

It does look like a poinsettia!!!! I love it! The colors are GORGEOUS. My creation yesterday looked like there had been a massacre in my studio. :D
