Let’s celebrate Mom's Creative Spirit! Mother's Day is just around the corner, and if your mom is a creative soul who finds joy in expressing herself through art, why not celebrate her passion with a gift that speaks to her artistic spirit? Below is a curated list of five art products that are sure to inspire and delight your artist mom this Mother's Day.
Digital Drawing Tablet: In the age of digital art, a quality drawing tablet is a must-have for any artist looking to explore new mediums, enhance their traditional techniques, or to take their art on the road. Consider gifting your mom a digital drawing tablet that offers pressure sensitivity and a natural drawing experience. Brands like Wacom and Huion offer a range of options to suit different preferences and budgets. I personally use my iPad with an extension that connects to my laptop or I take it on the go as my digital sketchbook.
Travel Watercolor Supplies: Watercolor is close to my heart and the brush pens and mini travel palettes have been gaining popularity among other artists as well for their convenience and versatility. These compact items make art portable, allowing artists to create beautiful washes and fine details on the go. I love my OOKU Watercolor Brush Pens and have been eyeing the UPINS 6 brush set. They are a perfect combination with my mini Schmincke palette pictured here. Yes, I took it all the way to Newport Folk Festival! That’s how convenient it is.
Acrylic Pouring Kit: Acrylic pouring has taken the art world by storm, with its mesmerizing swirls of color and unpredictable patterns. I always love making images out of the abstract shapes from the different colors. Give your mom the gift of experimentation with an acrylic pouring kit that includes everything she needs to create stunning abstract artworks. From pouring mediums and acrylic paints to canvas boards and mixing tools, she'll have endless fun exploring the possibilities of this trendy technique.
Artist’s Sketchbook: A quality sketchbook can elevate your mom's drawing experience and inspire her creativity every time she puts pencil to paper. Look for a handmade sketchbook crafted from premium paper that's suitable for various drawing mediums, such as pencil, ink, and charcoal. Or, a pocket sized sketch book that mom can carry with her for whenever inspiration hits. I personally love the Moleskine brand sketchbooks. They have a very nice high quality feel and options with different page types and sizes.
Local Art Classes: One of my favorite suggestions is to gift your mom the joy of creativity with a local art class! Treat her to a workshop, a series of monthly sessions, or a gift card to a local arts organization. These classes will not only provide her with the tools and techniques but also offer the opportunity to immerse herself in a vibrant artistic community, fostering her passion for creation and discovery.
This Mother's Day, show your appreciation for your artist mom with a thoughtful gift that celebrates her creative spirit and encourages her artistic pursuits. Whether it's a digital drawing tablet to fuel her digital artistry or a sketchbook to inspire her traditional drawings, these art gift ideas are sure to make her feel loved and inspired on her special day.
