I am Seema Patel. I have many self-published books on Amazon KDP. Let me share about them. It's Part 1.
'Watercolor Therapy (Volume 1)'
Art is a therapy. Watercolor painting costs minimal but offers much.
I have made thousands of watercolor paintings in my life.
It’s as if you play with the pigments, and your stress crumbles away.
You can make arts with meaning and stir some emotions too. Many of my watercolor arts have sold and generated an earnings stream as well.
If you're interested in watercolor painting but are afraid to dabble in it, this book is for you. It will show you how many worlds you can explore by your art.
Try painting and keep practicing, and it will get better and better. You never know where it will take you.
So, here I offer my Watercolor Therapy: Volume 1.
Art is the literacy of the heart. ~ Elliot Eisner. So, let’s get literate.
'Look Pretty with Nature Accessories'
In the old times, people wore plant material as accessories. Gradually, the leaned toward metallic and synthetic accessories. Not necessarily a good change.
I like adorning myself and my children with botanical materials. It is not allergenic to us, not pollutants to the environment, and is a way of connecting with nature. It is a gentle reminder that beauty can be simple, sustainable, and close at hand.
Here I have made ornaments from plant materials gathered from our garden and neighborhood. No, I did not add any resin on extra materials, but we wore as such.
We wear them and play with them.
You will love the photos and hopefully, be inspired to wear botanicals yourself.
'Arts for Peace and Zen'
When I read about the historical 2,300-mile 'Walk for Peace' by the Buddhist monks from Texas with their dog Aloka, I painted one artwork inspired by it.
I put it in a Facebook art group, never imagining it would become one of my popular artworks.
It received thousands of likes. So much love came its way that I continued painting many touching moments from the walk. I also created artworks inspired by peace walks in India and Sri Lanka.
A lot of supporters of the peace walk encouraged me to publish a book, compiling all my paintings and reflections. So, I did. The book cover is the art that became viral on Facebook and often shows up in Google search engine.
I have used a variety of artistic media to create the artworks in this book. The predominant medium is watercolor, but you will also find pieces made with wax crayons, paper collage, and acrylic.
'Collage Therapy'
This book is about my paper collage crafts. I have accompanied these colorful pieces with elegant quotes by eminent personalities.
I’m sure you will enjoy going through the crafts and quotes, and I believe they will inspire you to create your own.
Paper collage crafts are highly satisfying and surprisingly inexpensive. You just need carboard, pictures, and glue sticks.
Your imagination is the limit.
Try them out!
'Bilingual Spanish Poems'
Spanish is a beautiful and powerful language. Even if I’m not fluent, I have thousands of its words in my vocabulary.
I put in the effort a few years back, and now it almost feels like a friendly language to me.
I’m sharing here 44 English Spanish bilingual poems, and I’m sure they will be interesting for the readers.
'Acrylic Painting Therapy'
I mostly paint with watercolors, but from time to time I also enjoy acrylic painting. It has its own beauty and creative satisfaction.
I paint on diverse themes and surfaces. Over the years, I have created acrylic art on canvas, wood, glass, fabric, clay, rocks, and paper. Acrylic paint is versatile.
I have compiled this book from those artworks done over the years.
I hope you will love it and feel inspired to dabble in acrylic painting. Imagine adorning your walls with your arts and gifting them to your loved ones.
I am sure that I will continue working with this beautiful medium and keep improving my skills.
Inviting you to connect, support and be supported.
