About this title

Synopsis

Learn how to lean in to your unique style of creativity with this fluid art instruction book that combines creative inspiration and soulful introspection with practical instruction.

Author and licensed psychotherapist Jessica Young is your expert, empathetic guide to developing your energy and feeding your creative flow. Through the diverse techniques and ten expressive projects in this book, you will learn how to use the dynamic traits of alcohol ink, high-flow acrylic paint, and more to make beautiful works of abstract art that are reflections of your soul. By tackling the skill-building exercises first, you’re guaranteed success when you move on to the step-by-step projects.

But you won’t just learn how to put paint to paper—you’ll also learn how to reflect and process your artistic experiences mindfully with the teachings, affirmations, and journaling prompts included throughout the book. As you journey through the pages, you will learn to encourage your creative process, face your inner critic, trust your unique voice, work past frustration, find your why, and embrace the fact that you are an artist.

Be creative. Let go of fear. Find your flow.
