Book Description

June 1, 2010

Art journaling is a vital activity for artists who need a place to experiment, draw, paint, document ideas, and continue an interior dialog. This lush, visual book is a must-have volume for both beginning and experienced art journalers. Each chapter presents crucial, basic information for how to get started, and is layered with in-depth sidebars and activities covering advanced techniques,  approaches to working, as well as interviews with well-known journaling artists. The book comes with a beautiful blank journal in a take-along size (made from paper upcycled from the printing process), ready to catch your daily inspirations.



Editorial Reviews

Review

The fire analogy rages throughout Ludwig’s new book…from ‘Gathering the fuel (How to Get Started) through Keeping the Fire Burning (Expanding Your Journaling Repertoire), we are taken on a blazing hot voyage through art journaling that does indeed go beyond the basics and into the nitty-gritty techniques.  Art journaling junkies will enjoy its gleaming inspiration. The free recycled blank journal is the added kindling to help fan the flames for both new and experienced art journalers.”  -  Book Review by Jenn Mason, Editor, “Cloth, Paper, Scissors” May/June 2010

5.0 out of 5 stars Wildly inspiring! June 8, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Contrary to the title this is not a true beginners book. But it is wildly inspiring! It certainly is not victoriana scrap booking. Think artsy with journals ranging from messy cool to constrained cool by a wide array of artists. Each page has one to two full journal pictures. The photography is clear and detailed. Techniques are discussed but the few step-by-step instructions are brief and not as detailed as some will prefer. Nevertheless you cannot go wrong buying this book. I'm sure it will spend a great deal of time on my studio table for the inspiration and encouragement it provides. Good luck with your own journals!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Book on Art Journaling June 11, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been art journaling for about 11 years now, and I find this book amazing for all levels. It is clear and concise enough for beginners, yet challenging enough for those of us who have "been there, done that." I own almost every art journal book on the market, and can honestly say that this book is the best and well worth the money. LK's work is amazing, and the interviews and works she features from other artists are inspiring. There is a lot to be learned here. Buy this book!!!

I do not think I will ever get enough of LK Ludwig. Her books on art journaling and creative expression are inspiration. Like her previous books, I could not wait to get this one. Like her previous books, I am constantly referring and rereading. It is eye-candy and inspiration.
