10 Indoor painting and drawing ideas.

Sometimes you feel like drawing, or starting a new painting, you have the sketch ready, oil paints or pastels ready to go, but no idea sparks in your mind or vision, this happens a lot to us specially when the need to draw comes and no way out of home due to weather or anything else.
My only advice :just dig in your house stash and you will find a lot of inspiration in simple things around you.

• 1-Travel and touristic books: they include a big variety of landscapes, monuments, big buildings and landmarks., they are suitable to any kind of media, oil painting, pastels, or watercolors.

• 2-Google search engine: Google images: hit search to whatever word, idea, dream you think of , to find a lot of illustrations on your subject, also try different painting media, sculptures " for gesture or portrait drawings", abstract art, contemporary art, Google images is a a huge treasure of yummy arts inspiration ........

• 3-Pinterest: I recommend this site for all kinds of inspirations, ideas and tutorials, again hit the search bar for whatever field you like and a flood of pins and boards will definitely bring you the idea you wish for or even learn a new technique.

• 4-Magazines: Fashion, interiors, home decor, even housekeeping have plenty of figure gestures, portraits, fashion poses, open air scenes even landscapes......
  
  
  
• 5-Family photos: good source for variety of drawing practice, portraits, figures, landscapes, seascapes, etc.and also, this is how you paint with love, as definitely you will pick a photo which has a memory or for someone you love.

• 6-Kids stories and books: some books have a real painting on every single page, beside of how fairy tales and unusual characters inspire artists more than anything else.
  
  
  
• 7-Ads and Real estate brochures: some have good color combinations, big houses, gardens and city sites.

• 8-Cartoon episodes and movies: They always have something to inspire; colors, characters, a story to bring a group of artistic elements together, not only animators would love a cartoon movie but anyone loves colors, and art.

• 9-Color books and printables: color books and color sheets, other than giving you a ready-made idea to draw but also is an inspiration for bigger  painting compositions and inspiration to work with your professional paints.
