This stimulating book is a useful tool for creative souls who wish to construct a visual narrative of their lives. Jeanne Oliver, the author, provides 24 guided projects to inspire you to create your own unique journal of art missions that express the real you in a way nobody else can.
I’m not even a fraction as crafty as the author, but she is detailed and expressive, making the journey feel doable. The book is filled with photographs, so the visuals help tremendously, as many artists respond to visual instruction.
Overall, I’m pleased with The Painted Art Journal. Following its direction to create a personal art journal might not be for everyone, such as those who prefer clean lines and conventional pages. But for those quirky souls who see the world differently, for those who see creative uses for mostly overlooked, everyday items, for those who enjoy making something from very little—this book contains an inspirational treasure trove.
