The Painted Art Journal opens doors to your most personal and authentic art yet. Tell your story as only you can, through a series of guided projects that culminate in a beautiful, autobiographical art journal worthy of passing along to future generations.

• Draw inspiration from photos, typography, sketches, childhood memories, quotes and more.
• Shape your story with timelines, gathered-word poetry and simple approaches to portraits.
• Express yourself through an exciting range of mixed-media techniques, using everything from pen and ink, markers and watercolor to image transfers, printmaking with linocuts, acrylic and collage.
A book unlike any other, The Painted Art Journal is all about digging deeper, honoring your life, and coming away with a truer understanding of yourself and your art.
\"Each of our stories is so different, lovely and broken in its own way.\" --Jeanne Oliver
