Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

Here are 3 same designs that I started with a lace curtain on 6 x 12 inch canvases and worked each one with different mediums to get 3 completely different designs. First I sprayed Liquitex transparent Yellow, Red then White on the canvases. I let them dry for 45 mins. I then separated all the paintings with different mediums and played with each one over the course of 6 hours. So here are the results of playing with different mediums. First one was highlighted with some airbrush paint and Pebeo Gouche and outlined with Liquitex markers.  Second one, I used some pouring medium to highlight someof the floral design Third one, I used the Pebeo Gedeo relief mix and mirror effects. I have a couple of issues with the product, the tube burst open on the side and a lot of the product was lost. I will have to really build up the relief in order to be able to see some of the mirror effects. Maybe there is a thicker product to try. I will have to look into this...

finally....my sister in law got a hold of my painting MOJO and I came back from Texas with her cleaning MOJO.....but she's back to cleaning and she doesn't like it. Playing around preparing new little mini paintings and loving playing with the Pebeo glitter puffy paint.

Remember that painting that I made way too dark? Well it has taken a complete transformation. It still needs a little more grey to balance out the top part but I will work on that today. I am liking the romantic feel I get from it. here are some close up shots of the details

I had done some paintings a while ago when I first started testing Liquitex Spray Paints and when I came across Meridith's video on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9sjV58gV_I ) I was inspired to do another painting like the first one's I did. You will see my style is not at all like hers but it is the same principal of editing the background. Meridith's work then there is mine....thank you Meridth I love your work and it is very inspiring these are the one's I did previously  and this is the latest painting in progress

Here is the latest painting that I have been working on while trying to complete the huge commissioned painting which I landed up having a block on. So when I do get into those blocks, I doodle and just have a blast trying to shake off what ever is blocking me. So I brought a bunch of canvases outdoors one day and randomly sprayed them with some of the Liquitex paints which I love but the nozzles clog very easily so I also pick up and extra supply of extra nozzles when I got to the art supply store. Then I pulled out the one's that called to me. There was only 2 of the 5. This is the one that I decided to play with to break my block. So after the spraying and dragging some of the paint with my paint brush and pallet knife this is the one that I decided that I would start outlining some details with my Liquitex markers. I hung it in the hallway (my personal little gallery) and just looked at it over and over.....and this is where I went with it. I am not happy with the white Ti...

Okay so I am supposed to be finishing my big painting for Justin which I am just not feeling the love for....I tried to conclude the eyes but either they seemed too big or they seemed to small....gesso works wonders and now I am back to a clean slate on the eyes.....grrr! So instead of throwing a whole gallon of paint at the other one, I started a new one today. My inspiration comes from Claire Desjardins....obviously mine is completely different as usual. I just loved the colours that she used with the black background. I think I may do the pouring medium to top coat it and make it really pop                                                   This is Claire's painting which I just love the colours: And this is mine Now that I got some frustration out, maybe I'll get back to Justin's painting 

Here are the latest mini paintings 6 x 12. A couple were started with some detailed line work and then I applied modelling paste, let it dry for 24 hrs, then applies Golden soft body paints, som iridescent medium on a few of them, layers of different colours were dried with Liquitex medium gloss varnish. Some Liquitex glass beads were applied and top coated with 2 layers of Liquitex. They will be up for sale on my Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/bpagani
