50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LAYER

Seth Apter
Saturday May 4, 2019

Okay. Maybe not 50. But a lot. In this workshop, you will be putting your paint playlist on repeat as we go through a series of paint layering techniques that you can apply to all your creative projects. Everybody will be provided with a journal to work in that we will fill up, page after page, with layered backgrounds. Additive and subtractive paint techniques, properties of acrylic paint, mark making, application strategies, and much more will be included. In the end, you will leave with a new journal that you can keep as a technique reference manual or continue to work in to complete your journal pages in your own personal style.

Student Supply List

  • Fluid acrylic paint (favorite colors, both opaque and translucent
  • Black and white gesso
