Transform your sketchbook to art The artist s journal is a great place to start a library of personal marks, doodles and ideas The reader is introduced to basics such as choosing a journal and then immediately guided into techniques such as color mixing, drawing and a variety of surface designs The reader is encouraged to experiment and play in the journal to try out new directions for creating works of art The art journal becomes the starting point for bigger projects.In addition to step by step techniques for working in a variety of media, each chapter features one or jumping off points to show the reader how to move out of the journal and onto an actual project In the final chapter, Melanie steps out three journal spreads to show how many techniques learned previously are layered and worked together By using the art journal in this way, the reader learns confidence in developing their ideas into tangible works of art.
