Ever open a tube of paint, only to have about half the tube come squirting out. Well, I have, just a couple weeks ago, Old Holland cad. orange. But I did not let it go to waste....
This is one of the finished paintings from that accident. After the paint plopped out on to my palette and hands, I grabbed several blank canvases and starting priming them with the orange. Mixing a little clear gesso with acrylic makes a fine base to paint over with either acrylic or oil paint.

Some I added more color and some modeling paste and really had fun.
Just because the canvas starts out very orange, often the painting only shows a bit of that orange.

While other paintings I let the orange show in all it's glory :)
So to make a long story short.....never waste your paint :)
