Salvaging Bad - az

The idea has been suggested that when one creates a drawing, they create quickly and many. Why spend time belaboring a point when you can move onto the next one? This is neither a good or bad idea. I have done both. I have probably hundreds of unfinished drawings and paintings. But I also have art that I have worked to death. I work a piece to death because I am learning something. Below is piece was so overworked that I was considering throwing it away. 


My process is to create work and come back to it later. It is the same here. I did a watercolor I liked except for a couple of things. I decided to correct it with craft paint which didn't make it better. I then used my black pen which made it worse.  My next step was to cut it up and use the parts elsewhere. Below is the left side. This side still remains unfinished. I am not sure if I can or want to salvage it.


Here is the other side. I intend to use it for a another project.


You can see the watercolor, the craft paint, and the black pen. 
It is hardly fine art but it was a piece worth salvaging. And in the process of salvaging I came up with other ideas so the process of creating starts again.
