Today, I finished a drawing that I spent over 14 hours working on for my mom for Mother's Day. I took it outside to seal it with fixative. I took of the clear lid, shook the can, then sprayed red spray paint all over my art. FML

Always check the label on the can before spraying!

That sucks. Probably the OP didn't check the label because 14 hours of doing anything will make you a little disoriented... Coffee FTW.

13... it's already bad when it's from the point of view from another person. It's a bit worse when it's from the animals point of view. An inanimate object is ******* ridiculous.

i alway have spray paint lying around with thr wrong caps on, i have started to do that before, but i was licky and the damage was repairable. i try to remember to test it now. i feel for ya, nothing like had work gone bad.

Wow 14 hours down the drain. I hope your mom understands. FYL

aw, that sucks. shoulda checked the label. but, still, as a fellow artist i feel your pain. FYL. and lmfao 26. if only ctrl z worked irl.

ydi last time i checked spray paint bottles and fixative bottles have obvious labels on them.

That is when I would become so frustrated that I would cry. That sucks! Sometimes I do the same thing; I trust that I'm using the right product but end up with the wrong one. Augh... I'm sorry about that.

haha happened to me but i got lacquer and it turned out black. that's why i tested it out first though. mainly my fault though, so i kinda think YDI. but sorry about the 14 hours down the drain!

Oh my gosh, I would die. Even parting with my artwork for commissions leaves a pit in my stomach. I can't imaging destroying it before anyone even gets to see it. I feel for you. I frequently spend 15+ hours on my drawings. I'm sure your mother will understand. As for the drawing, nothing left to do but to redraw it, or start another.

idk but i believe the inquisitive mind of a researcher will intuitivebly be inevitably impossible to seek the hidden truth of the natural behavior of this particular and emicrable feline (cat). Talk to you later my collegue and I wish you the best of luck with future paint cans!
