Burnt and Burnt Umber

Pen and Paint

You know that feeling you get when you are working on something and it is actually not working?  In fact, it totally sucks?  However, you say to yourself that you might be able to save it if you keep working on it a bit more.  In the end, it still totally sucks, just with added detail.  The above is the only bit salvaged from a canvas that was gessoed over again.
