Author and licensed psychotherapist Jessica Young is an expert, empathetic guide for readers to develop their energy and feed their creative flow. Through the diverse techniques and 10 expressive projects in this book, readers 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 their soul. By tackling the skill-building exercises first, they’re guaranteed success when they move on to the step-by-step projects. But this book doesn’t just teach how to put paint to paper—it also teaches readers to reflect and process their artistic experiences mindfully with the teachings, affirmations, and journaling prompts included throughout the book. As they journey through the pages, readers will learn to encourage their creative process, face their inner critic, trust their unique voice, work past frustration, find their why, and embrace the fact that they are artists. 192 pp | 290 color images
