Become inspired to build your own artistic style and discover the beauty in everyday life with Painted Pages.

More inspirational guide than step-by-step workbook, Painted Pages is about helping you to find your own unique way to be creative and make art. Containing specific how-to techniques and creative prompts on using an artist's sketchbook in new ways, these pages provide a gentle push to help you discover and integrate your creative passions through sketchbooks, workspaces, and mixed media.

Using her own materials and methods as a source of motivation, author and artist Sarah Ahearn Bellemare provides an inside look at her personal creative processes, sharing her favorite resources alongside tips and tricks for making art — all the while encouraging you to explore, play, and make mistakes as part of the journey.

Through beautiful full-color imagery, each chapter shows you how to use your collections, scraps, ideas, and doodles to fuel ideas for works of art. At the end of each chapter, Bellemare takes you to visit the studios and sketchbooks of some of her fellow artists — including Shanna Murray, Christine Chitnis, Stephanie Levy, and others — for behind-the-scenes glances into their creative work.
