Easy to understand; enjoyable tutorials in this bookBy Christy GrantI got this book after Christmas using an gift card that my nephew and his wife gave me. After the decorations were all put away; I picked the book up and began to read. I like the idea of creating a journal (10-minute journal) that you use throughout the book. It took me longer than ten minutes though because it was so simple and easy that I got caught up in making backgrounds. Then the next day I started a piece working from the instructions in the book. I loved how it came out and there were pictures for every step of the way. I look forward to working through more of the projects and trying my hand at some different techniques or ways of using products that I have but dont use often. Ive re-discovered the fun of using light molding paste which was sitting forlornly on my shelf. If you are short on time; youll like this book. Most of the "chapters" or articles are 1-2 pages long and filled with photos so you wont feel overwhelmed trying to read; comprehend and follow the process. It was short enough to finish a piece and eagerly look for the next step in my journal. Happy creating!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Huge impact on my life as an artistBy CustomerWhen looking for a book to cover in my studios book club I rarely come across a book as perfectly suited as Art at the Speed of Life. Each project has detailed instructions and photos that are extremely helpful. I loved the way Pam took inspiration from multiple artists then offered a "speed of life" project that was inspired by their work. The book offered diversity and inspiration for taking my art to the next level. As a side note...I have a hard time not using Pams "grungy glaze" recipe on everything!Even more rare is to find a book I will cover a second time for a book club! A group of 11 of us met for 7 weeks to go through the process of the "7 day journal." As an added challenge we spent only 1 hour per week covering the techniques. What an amazing experience! At the end of the 7 sessions we had a lush art journal ready to continue layering and living in.Thank you Pam for an amazing reference book. This is a staple in my library and I refer to it often.
