I woke up with an idea in my head to mix gloss medium with pouring medium. Here is the process in the photos. The pouring medium didn't do what I had intended and I wasn't sure if I liked the result at first. I let it cure over night and had a closer look at it....I still wasn't happy. So I decided to see if I could like the skin from the canvas but I guess because I had the gloss medium underneath, it stuck to it. So instead of fighting with something I didn't really like, I decided to mimic it but adding most of the same colours and shape around it. The only colour I didn't use was green which has a bad relationship with me. There are only a couple of greens that I like to paint with and lately it seems like it sticks out like a sore thumb. So I try to mix it where I can. Anyhow here is the progress of this new painting after I sprayed the outside with some Liquitex spray paints. I am still not sure if I will add some metallic
colours to accent the relief at this point.
Some cooper was adding to show some of the relief, then when I held it up to the light, it looked like there might have been a bit too much cooper so I calmed it down by sponging some yellow and white near the center of the circle explosion and a bit of orange and then blue. I think it's finished. Not sure if this will become a gift or not. Now I am not sure whether I can varnish over the pouring medium or not, I will ask one of my favorite resources from Liquitex, Francoise Issaly about this. And then voila it will be finished.
