Playing around and mixing up some mediums

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.

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...
