Ever After: Create Fairy Tale-Inspired Mixed-Media Art Projects to Develop Your Personal Artistic Style

The book is broken up into 4 sections. It includes lessons from both the author Tamara Laport and guest teachers. There are many tips for making the lessons your own but it is also suggested that you start by doing the lessons as they are presented. Each lesson briefly describes the fairy tale at hand as well as what the artist wanted to bring to the story.If you follow Tamara Laport (aka WIllowing) online or read her previous book then you probably already have an idea of what to expect here. The cover is a good representation of her art style. Her lessons (in book format anyway - never taken one of her classes) focus on self care and putting yourself in your art.While I did get an ARC for review, I had already pre-ordered it before being offered it to review, and choose to keep my pre-order as ARCs expire and I definitely want to keep this one.Section 1 is “The Story of You” which starts with a section on your creative goals and tips for finding your personal style. That is followed by Little Red Riding Hood. Then advice for how to make the lessons your own. Next up is Bambi by guest teacher Micki Wilde. Then Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. Alice is followed by Rapunzel presented by guest teacher Annie Hamman.Section 2 is “Inspiration: How to Find it, How to Use it” which starts with the creative goal of staying open. Then comes Goose Girl. Lesson 6 is The Little Mermaid by guest teacher Andrea Gomoll. Lesson 7 is Sleeping Beauty (the book’s cover). Lesson 8 is The Little Match Girl by guest teacher Kara Bullock.Section 3 is “Comfort zones & Productivity” which is all about going out of your comfort zone to find what you can really do. Lesson 9 is The Snow Queen. Lesson 10 Mulan is by guest teacher Lucy Chen. Lesson 11 is Goldilocks & the Three Bears. Lesson 12 is Blodeuwedd by guest teacher Effy Wild.Section 4 is “Dealing with Challenges & Deepening Your Voice”. Lesson 13 is Peter Pan. Lesson 14 is Beauty & the Beast by guest teacher Mariëlle Stolp. Lesson 15 is The Frog Prince by Danita Art. Lesson 16 is The Reluctant Dragon.

What a wonderful treat to go to my mailbox and find the new release of Tamara Laporte's book "Ever After: Create Fairy Tale-Inspired Mixed Media Art Projects to Develop Your Personal Artistic Style"! This book is as lovely as Tam's generous soul. It is filled with bright, inspirational works by mixed-media artists inspired by fairy tales. Each entry includes a brief summary of the fairy tale, either Tam or a guest artist's discussion of the tales, frequently leading to a more modern day, adult understanding of children's tales. The book is lavishly illustrated and the instructions are fairly detailed. The projects are on a more intermediate level. A lot of instruction is provided, but if you are a beginner you may find several of the lessons a bit more challenging. A variety of artists are featured, including Micki Wilde, Andrea Gomell, Lucy Chen and several others. The idea here is to experiment with different artist's styles in order to develop a style of your own. Although Tam has always generously shared her platform with guest artists, I must say that in this book her work also shines brightly! It is a lush and lovely book, delightful to read and beautiful to behold. Tam puts her heart and soul into all that she does and this book is no exception. Well done!

Love all her books, so won't review all I bought. Loaded with great things!

I love mixed media art and joined Lifebook 2019 and ordered the book too and love the whimsical and creative style. I find her online classes so inspiring, uplifting I joined Ever After and it brings the little girl spirit that still lives within. The book Ever After is just as awesome as her first book and a wonderfully fun addition to the class. The book is filled with bright fairytale faces and inspiring detailed lessons. Very pleased and looking forward to more books and classes to come in the future.

Another book that I happened to love it is amongst my art collection I do all sorts of art mainly acrylic and water painting however I scrapbook and many other things and this is one book that is amongst my collection and I love it highly recommend it

Such a beautiful artbook full of inspiration.

todo correcto

The media could not be loaded.  This book written by Tamara Laporte is the perfect foil to her online Ever After art course. It has detailed photographs and lovely different mixed media projects to do. This book also helps you work through emotional issues with guided meditation ideas. Tamara is a great believer in using art as a method to work through negativity, self-exploration, develop as an artist and find your own style.I purchased this beautiful book to accompany the online course. In the book there are 16 guided lessons 8 of which are by Tamara, the other 8 are by 8 guest teachers all bringing different styles for you to try.Over all a fabulous book!
