Paintings in progress

I am working on 2 different paintings, 1 acrylic and the other encaustic.
The acrylic one has collaged pictures and tissue paper for texture and then built up with some acrylic mediums. I am calling it "the field of dreams". I am not sure where I am going with the butterfly and don't really like the puff paint around it but will play around with it a bit more. I also included some micro beads and some sparkle paint which I may tone down a bit before the final varnish, although it will still show through after the final coat.
The encaustic one name "fire and water" which my son started with me last year is still in progress too. I also added some micro beads but will probably have to add another coat of was for it to become completely in beaded in the wax so that I can get the glossy finish when the wax is buffed.

                                            Here is the begining of this painting.


And this is where I am today


Here is the begining of this painting. I added the tissue paper and the butterfly which my little neighbor made for me and then added some paint and did some outlining.


Since then I have added some puff paint and more acrylic paint and microbeads

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end.  It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or  at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets.  Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle.  Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items.  Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
