Last Minute Art Gifts
From Illustrator's Guides to Art Materials & Artist Shops. New Art Competitions & Opportunities
If you’re anything like me you’re not the only creative creature in your circle so here are some last minute gift ideas for art loving loved ones. For all things art materials related check my mammoth guide to the Best Sites for Art Supplies.
The Creature Garden (£12.45) is a beautifully put together guide to making ‘vibrant paintings of beasts—both real and imagined.’ Bought for my goddaughter along with an enamel pin (£8.00) from the artist’s Etsy Shop (Xmas delivery til Thu).
After featuring London based artist Andy Wilx on MoMa I went and bought one his linen cushions (£50.00). Not cheap but as close as cushions get to a work of art.
Also got this Angela Harding calendar (£7.75) lots more gifts in her online shop.
Hockney’s Drawing From Life (£21.50) is the accompanying catalogue from from the National Portrait Gallery’s 5 star show, more books on our Hockney page.
