The Artist’s Muse: Unlock the Door to Your Creativity is one of the most innovative ideas and concepts about painting on the market. Its contents are dual, for it contains a treasure trove --exceptional articles on creativity accompanied by creative painting challenges, and in addition, the kit contains a creative card game, which will show artists, fledgling or experienced exciting and different ways to express themselves by approaching their subjects "Out of the box." All in all, this package will inspire, provoke, and educate because it presents literally thousands of ways to create individual paintings. And, it combines traditional wisdom and modern approaches from some of the top watermedia artists in America. It’s a winner.

THE ARTIST'S MUSE: UNLOCK THE DOOR TO YOUR CREATIVITY isn't just another book on the topic: it's an actual tool kit that pairs a book with three decks of cards with creative prompts for ideas. By mixing and matching the deck, artists will find about 15,000 inspiring ideas for better art, from paintings and new subjects to new color ideas. Any with a creative block will find THE ARTIST'S MUSE the perfect toolkit for unlocking the block - and while the card/book combo may not lend to library lending, it will provide working and aspiring artists with something they can't be without: a kit for ongoing inspiration.

You have to take this book and it's challenges in slow, deliberate sections.
It stirs the imagination and makes you think....and can seem a bit confusing/overwhelming until the reader slows down and doesn't read ahead. I've been able to translate the challenges into fabric.
I'm lucky enough to study this book with an on line group. For me that works best and is how I'd recommend it be studied....either on line or at a local coffee house. |
Inspiring!! Delightful. Gorgeously written.

This artist writes about art so that you cannot wait to paint.
She gives vivid examples of what she is talking about in her own works
and the paintings of others. I was moved to immediately sign up for one
of her workshops. Tbe book is a great read whether you're a would-be
painter or an already-am. As if this colorful book isn't enough,there
are also "inspiration" or "idea" cards that can help guide you to paint
creatively. It's GREAT! Inspiring. Delightful. |

| I buy books for one purpose. I want to be inspired. Inspired by the knowledge, wisdom, exploration, talent and sheer delight of what others are doing and have done. This book is full of inspiration. If you don't find inspiration in the book (and I know you will) you will be nearly pushed to your creative space by the force of ideas you will gain from the innovative and brilliantly designed deck of creativity prompts. There is nothing else like it, but then there are few others like the talented author, Ms. Stroud. |

The Artists Muse: Unlock the Door to Your Creativity
This is an awesome package of book and cards, chuck full of ideas enough to keep you busy for years! The book is beautifully illustrated, full of challenges, thoughful quotes, and work assignments with all the elements of a piece of art. The 3 decks of ideas & instructions is visually beautiful with color and imprints so you MUST open them. And when you read the content, no Muse could continue to sleep in boredom. There are personal invitations to embark into an adventure for your own inner growth in the Cirles of Growth, Doors of Awareness or Windows of Opportunity. It is a sure cure for the doldroms! What fun for yourself or a group of friends.

| Wonderfully inspiring book to get the creative juices started! I was in an artistic slump and this book really gave me the jump start I needed to get back to creating more intuitively. I highly recommend this book to all levels of artistic experience, beginner to advanced. |

| This book gives a lot of inspiration with pictures and ideas. It comes with three decks of cards. By drawing a card from each deck you can come up with an entirely new idea for art. |
Great Ideas!

| I recently bought this book and my first few look-throughs have shown a fun book with lots of ideas to spark your creative muse. I am looking forward to having time to play with the ideas presented. A good book that will actually get used! |
