The best books for art journalers: 20 books that changed my art life

20 Books That Changed my Art Life (The best books for art journalers)

I am a massive book nerd. My love for books is part of the reason I love art journaling - I get to create my own library of art. I get to fill my bookshelves with the tangible containers of my own heart.

These books are only the very best of the very best. They’ll give you ideas for making art, techniques to try out, and encouragement to nurture your creative habit.

These are my all-time favourite books that have helped in my art journaling.
