Art and Inventiveness Books I Dear

A bang-up resource for art journaling ideas!

Natalie Goldberg taught me the ability of artistic writing exercises.

While this might seem out of identify here, information technology's and then fascinating, so applicative to developing the habits of making art, information technology was a must on this list.

Julia Cameron's inspiring quotes, permission giving, and spiritual approach to art speak directly to my heart.

SARK is 1 of the reasons I experience and then comfortable with myself every bit an artist. (Peradventure also as a person.) She is all about the word Yes, unless of class it's bad for your self-care, then it'due south NO. She is a master of unleashing artistic impulse and inviting creativity and novelty to your life. For anyone who struggles with their mood, their past, or their identity equally an artist, she is a must read.

This book is the outset in a series. It's one of the books that sparked my involvement in art journaling. It's a serial of postcards and messages between two artists, and some pages have actual envelopes with folded letters within. The images are playful, animate being-based, and mystical. Information technology's one of my favorite books ever.

So much creative wisdom and inspiration in one place!

O'Keeffe, has always been, and I suspect, always volition exist, one of my favorite artists. Each time I written report her piece of work, I continue to learn how to meet.

This was another determinative book in my artistic life from SARK.
