"Each of our stories is so different, lovely and broken in its own way." --Jeanne Oliver
The Painted Art Journal is such a beautiful book. It's a very creative step by step way to create your story artistically. Through a bunch of beautifully guided projects, it's like creating a visual autobiography, that you can use to pass on to your kids and to their kids - a wonderfully eye-catching journal to create your own style and design, tell your story, and fill it with memories!
There are 24 projects/prompts - each can be custom tailored to you, your style, your own sense of art and creativity in order to tell your story. Its a great tool to help find your creative side and develop style. There's a lot of inspirational sketches that are bit intimidating if you aren't very artsy! But they are beautiful just the same! Add sketches, photos, quotes, typography - you don't need to be a good drawer - but even if you aren't, it's still YOUR story - so who cares?! Have fun! The Step-by-step inspo is easy and simplified so you don't need to be Van Gogh to create something really unique and cool!
I really enjoyed this book - totally new and different and helped my hone my own artistic side that I had been surpressing with a computer (agh!) since college! It was fun to break out the pastels and paints and paper again!
