Coffee spill saved my boring landscape, now I'm a fraud

During a watercolor workshop, I knocked over my coffee onto a half-finished sky. The brown streaks blended perfectly, creating an awesome storm effect. Everyone praised my 'bold technique,' and I didn't correct them. Still wondering if I should confess to the instructor.

Spilled a whole pot of tea on a sketch once and called it 'mixed media.' Felt like a con artist for weeks, but the frame shop guy said it had 'organic texture.' Probably still hanging in someone's bathroom, judging me.

Watched my friend drop marinara sauce on a white tablecloth and immediately declare it a modern art piece. She pinned it to canvas stretchers, and her pretentious cousin bought it for two hundred bucks, calling it "a bold statement on consumption." Reminds me of @cameron666's tea sketch situation, honestly. Some of the best art is just well-timed mess.

Marinara on canvas sums up modern art perfectly.
