Description
Celebrated illustrator Marion Deuchars is on a mission. Sharing a host of inspiring projects and ideas, this book shows people of all ages and artistic abilities how a little creativity every day can make a big difference.
Live the life of a true creative! With over 100 projects and ideas, Marion invites you to release your artistic potential. Spill some ink. Draw with a stick. Have a go at hand lettering, or painting with a mop! The ideas in this book are all about having fun and realising it's never too late to discover-or rediscover-your artistic side.
Projects like hand printing, marbling, cyanotype, and rubber stamping will absorb you for an enjoyable afternoon; others like street photography, beach sculpture, and dog doodling can be done in the moment. Get painting, printing, drawing, making and imagining and discover how little moments of creativity can bring great joy.
