Your life is already full of stories worth making art about

You don't need exotic travels or a dramatic backstory. The house you live in, the books on your shelf, the junk in your drawer — that's your material. Four acclaimed mixed-media artists show you how to turn the everyday into deeply personal art.

  • Struggling to find subjects for your art? Your daily life is the answer
  • Want to make art that actually means something personal to you?
  • Love mixed media but feel stuck repeating the same techniques?
  • Wish you could learn from multiple teachers, each with a different style?

Art Stories gives you 10 guided projects across 3 universal themes — Home, Books, and Junk — so you'll never be short of inspiration again.
