Background Check with Seth Apter


On Friday we drove down to Fullerton where I was privileged 
to take an evening class with the inimitable  Seth Apter.


The class was called Background Check 
and we learned how to add layer


after layer after layer


of paint, gesso, and coloured glazes,


to create wonderful backgrounds,



 for journal pages and small art pieces on cradled wood panels.


It was fun to add some small embellishments to the 
wood panel pieces after returning home.


And even more fun to get to meet Seth beforehand (along with fellow-blogger and good friend Chris Miser) to have lunch and talk about our passion for mixed media art.

  3. I had so much fun, Erin. I was envious of your wild abandon in completing our assignments. Your surfaces are so much more YUM than mine were. It was fun watching you create! And Seth is a joy. And so it Margot. Good times, my friend.
