The Artful Journal : A Spiritual Quest

For artists who are on a journey seeking their inner spirit, this text explores all the various ways that keeping a journal promotes the relationship between spirituality and creativity.

Drawing upon several methods of meditation practices, painting and writing, this guide offers new channels for spirituality and inner creativity.

It covers: how adding colour to words in a journal enriches the voyage of self-discovery; and how paint in combination with words intensifies the expression of self.

Featuring examples from contemporary artists and writers, the volume has over 200 colour illustrations which exemplify this synergistic effect of adding bursts of colour by demonstrating the powerful liaison between watercolour and writing.

In order to approach the spiritual nature of the artist, every chapter includes paintings, relevant quotations and other suggestions to stimulate self-discovery.
