Melt away stress and tap into your creative side.Melt away stress with the colorful, soul-soothing selection of projects in Painting for the Soul. Designed especially for those seeking a creative outlet that requires minimal tools and time, Painting for the Soul encourages personal expression through inspirational painting projects, inviting artists to embark on a therapeutic journey by tapping into their creative side. Using acrylic painting, this book takes artists through a series of prompts, exercises, and projects, inviting them to explore new depths of creative freedom and expression through pretty patterns and designs, flowers, uplifting phrases, and scenes. A basic introduction to tools and materials leads into a variety of step-by-step projects and painting techniques designed to make acrylic painting fun and relaxing.
This little book is great for relaxation and for jump starting a creative flow. The book clearly lays out all the materials you need, and goes step by step through some creative and calming pieces. The process isn't laid out as detailed as say, a Paint Nite would be, but there is enough information and visuals to get you started.
Beginners may have a hard time recreating the works in the book exactly, but the process is what counts. I can't overstate the relaxing effect painting has on me, as long as I don't get too caught up on perfection.
