I would tend to agree. I've been involved in a number of painting projects like this, and we ended up generally obliterating each other's work. I got accused of colonizing other's work, to which I replied taht I'd rather colonization that makes someone happy rather than a compromise that pleases no-one.
It does however work for music. I think because coming up with/ realizing a piece of music is usually a more collaborative activity unlike painting or writing. but I'm still for it, and if I ever get any time, I'll jump in and offer my contributions.
