More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
At its core, this book is about incorporating journaling and art making into your daily life, while encouraging a carefree, non-judgmental approach. In addition to step-by-step instruction for getting started in 25 media techniques (watercolour, resists, transfers, oil pastels, ink, collage and more), the reader will be guided through journaling exercises with help on the writing end of things as well. They will also be strongly encouraged to let go of complete control and trust the journaling process, thereby finding their journal a safe retreat and a place where experimentation is encouraged and never criticised. Exercises are broken down into accessible parts that can be undertaken in small bits of time and are also open-ended, again, encouraging more than one way to venture down the journaling path.

Format:Paperback
I have many beautiful blank page books that I wanted to journal in but was always worried about spoiling the pristine pages, feeling that I wasn't creative or talented enough. This book is SO encouraging, and gorgeous to look through. It is filled with really good ideas and advice, and made me think 'what the hell, it's only paper' and start painting with abandon. Art journaling is so much FUN, whatever one's artistic ability (or lack of it), and a wonderful way to deal with the little frustrations of life by scribbling, glueing, painting and doodling.
This book is an excellent place to start if you need someone to give you the confidence to make your first marks on those beautiful blank pages.

This book encourages the reader to experiment with different techniques and has step by step instructions. I found the visual prompts as good as the written ones. I loved the techniques described and enoyed getting my hands messy. The spilling part of journaling very relaxing. The book also teaches how to tame your inner critic and trust yourself.

I found this book by Diana Trout very interesting, colourful and exciting and I'm sure it will kick-start anyone who wants to do Art Journalling and is not sure where to start, and will also give the experienced journaller some new ideas. The style is relaxed and informal and the author shares her thoughts in a friendly and open way. Highly reccomended. You might also like Wreck This Journal if you want to get started with your journal but the empty pages are putting you off!
