Readers will learn to use alcohol ink and fluid acrylic paint to create gorgeous abstract works of art through 9 skill-building exercises and 10 projects while also learning to find and feed their creative flow through artistic mindfulness, journaling, and affirmations.

Readers will learn how to lean in to their unique style of creativity with this fluid art instruction book that combines creative inspiration and soulful introspection with practical instruction.

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 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.

Be creative. Let go of fear. Find your flow.

"The book's stunning photography of abstract artwork is characterized by rich colors and graceful, flowing forms, inspiring the sense of play that's inherent to the creative process. And while the ""flow state"" can seem mysterious or even impossible to achieve for those who've never experienced it, this book argues that it is a state available to everyone.Finding Your Flow is a beautiful, inspiring introduction to intuitive abstract painting that opens the door to creativity and self-confidence."""
