Journal Spilling: Mixed-Media Techniques for Free Expression by Diana Trout (ISBN-13: 9781600613197) Author Bio: Diana Trout majored in painting at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts & at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She exhibits & sells her paintings & handmade books at local fairs & galleries & nationally through her website. Diana resides in a Philadelphia suburb called Glenside. Summary: At its core, this book is about incorporating journaling & art making into your daily life, while encouraging a carefree, non-judgmental approach. In addition to step-by-step instruction for getting started in 25 media techniques (watercolour, resists, transfers, oil pastels, ink, collage & more), the reader will be guided through journaling exercises with help on the writing end of things as well. They will also be strongly encouraged to let go of complete control & trust the journaling process, thereby finding their journal a safe retreat & a place where experimentation is encouraged & never criticised. Exercises are broken down into accessible parts that can be undertaken in small bits of time & are also open-ended, again, encouraging more than one way to venture down the journaling path.
