The artist's journal is not just a great place to start a library of personal marks, doodles, and memories — it can also be a forum for developing ideas that ultimately take form beyond the journal page. This book provides artists with concrete instructions for doing just that.

Discover how easy it is to use a huge variety of art techniques to translate your experiences and thoughts to a journal. The various types of journals are discussed, and the authors walk you through step-by-step instruction for everything from drawing and doodling to watercolor and stenciling.

As a follow-up to their best-selling debut, Visual Chronicles, authors Linda Woods and Karen Dinino liberate the artist within by inspiring you to rant, whisper, beg, stomp, or sing your truths.

Raw Art Journaling teaches you how to embrace your art, confront negative self-talk (a.k.a., your gremlin), and make meaning with your words and your art. You don't need worry about messing up techniques you've never attempted before. You just need to be you.

Have you ever bought a new sketchbook, opened to the first page, and thought, "Now what do I do?" Sue Bleiweiss and the talented minds behind The Sketchbook Challenge are here to help.
