free your inner artist
When writing this book, I drew on wisdom passed down through the ages in the fields of philosophy, psychology, spirituality and art, as well as my own experiences of learning, teaching, healing and painting. I hope it gives ideas, encouragement and joy.
FREE YOUR INNER ARTIST, by Penny Stanway, encourages you to:
-
Make time to be creative
-
Discover your style
-
Find which materials and methods suit you best.
-
Free your creative energy - or ‘inner artist’.
If your creative energy is locked away, you may not paint at all, or your work may lack sparkle and shine.
Freeing your inner artist's 'fire' can:
-
Provide strength and confidence to express your unique way of seeing and understanding the world
-
Suffuse your paintings with your imagination, symbols and style.
-
Enrich your paintings with your emotions, desires, dreams, intuition, yearning and awe at the mystery of life.
-
Make you happier
-
Make you feel more connected with your environment and those around you.
-
Help you relax, bring up memories, use your dreams and manage adversity.
-
Give you the thrill of making your mark.
-
Channel input from your body, soul and psyche, rather than only the rational, thinking side of your brain.
-
Let you express truth and beauty.
-
Illuminate your journey as you walk the ‘road less travelled’ in search of the meaning of life.
-
Influence how others 'see', understand and act in the world.
FREE YOUR INNER ARTIST considers:
-
How to involve your inner artist in the practicalities of painting.
-
How and what to paint.
-
The process of painting.
-
Caring for your creations.
-
Keeping an art log.
