Mending spoiled canvases

Image
I began painting this canvas back in August but it wasn't until late September that I finished it. Actually, I spoiled it(I didn't mean to, of course). Let me tell you how I mended it. What I used: Purified linseed oil, Oil paints, cotton buds, and paint brushes First I painted a beige background(I don't know why it doesn't look beige in the picture), then I made this deep maroon dot in the center of the canvas, and surrounded it by  these maroon dots(I made the dots with the cotton buds) Then I surrounded the maroon dots with a circle of red dots. I skipped a layer right here: now for the orange dots The circle expands,more and more... AND THEN............ A DISASTER happened!!! The canvas got spoiled somehow... ...actually one of the dots smeared, and I was just correcting it when the paint smeared more and more and in the end it looked so unbearable...I had no idea what to do!!!! apologies for not having a picture.
