So very excited for Nathalie Kalbach, author of Artful Adventures in Mixed Media, her newly released book from North Light.
As I write this post, the book is ranked #1 in Acrylic Painting on Amazon. The pages of this book are filled with both instruction and inspiration. Just some of the techniques covered include layered texture, monoprinting, photo manipulation, blotted line drawing, and graffiti layering. She covers principles and elements of art, acrylic gels and layers, composition and focal point, collage and assemblage, color wheels and art journaling. And she does all this in the context of taking an artful adventure, whether that be a visit to an artist studio, taking art strolls through a museum. being out in nature, journaling on the go, and more.
I am thrilled to be a guest artist in this book, sharing my inspiration of travels and creating Ephemeral Discoveries for the book.
I also had the pleasure to spend some time talking to Nathalie about our lives in art, touching on such diverse subjects as organizing found objects, travel journaling, collecting trash, and connecting with people. You can watch the conversation below.

Be a great place for you to teach a workshop.
I ADORE this piece Seth! The layers are beautiful and it seems to hint at an intriguing story...keys always make me wonder what secrets they might be protecting!
