In addition to recipes, fashion, and decorating ideas, Pinterest — as we’ve written previously — is a great resource for gathering art ideas and inspiration. Following the boards of artists you like is the best of both worlds: not only do they post their own art (and, if you’re lucky, works in progress), but they share what inspires them, too.
Here are some of the Art Leaguers who do just that, and a few artist from outside The Art League as well. This doesn’t include the wealth of museums around the world that share tidbits from their collections! See some of the people we follow below, and let us know your favorite artist pinners in the comments!
