Art Gift Box Subscription-Muse Kit Smart Art, October 2022

Gift box subscription Muse Kit is a monthly art box. Formerly, Smart Art, the owners changed the name to Muse Kit in September 2022 to more closely reflect their product. This gift box subscription is fantastic for all skill levels or for those just curious to learn about art. If you are looking for an all-inclusive art gift box subscription, this one is for you. Making a list for the local art supply store will be a thing of the past.

Let's open our Muse Kits

This art box had a very colorful and eye catching wrap. If you love getting presents, then this is like opening a wrapped one.

Again, very appealing colors once you open the wrap. Still not sure exactly what medium we will be using. It could be sketching and possibly watercolor paint.

Muse Kits gift boxes include a handy instructional brochure

Oh! Our art inspiration reveals itself. Ink and coffee. Is the coffee for drinking or being used as a medium? Will we be painting with it?

This is what I love about gift box subscriptions. You never know what experience awaits you.

Ah ha! We will be using the coffee as a watercolor type paint.

Our tools

All shades of watercolor pencils. The pencils marked the paper smoothly and blended easily with water.

Do not drink it! The coffee is for painting with, not drinking! OK, OK! Go ahead. Have your coffee and paint with it as well.

Calligraphy pens for defining the details. Thin to thick tips are provided.

The paint brushes are thick but pliable. They were easy to use, picked up plenty of paint, and felt easy to control. Smooth edges were created with these brushes.

This paint pallet was nice. It had plenty of deep chambers to hold not only plain water but different dilutions of colored ink.

Red and yellow ink came in full size pots.

Black ink came in a full size pot.

Atomic Fire Ball was the snack and we also got a sticker. If you have never tried an Atomic Fire Ball, they are heavy on the cinnamon flavor. If you are a cinnamon lover, you will be very happy with the snack.

The watercolor paper was high quality. It held the paint well but dried quickly. I only waited 30 minutes between painting. I probably could have decreased that time and still created a fantastic picture.

Everything in the kit

Painting a picture

Step one and two involved letting the coffee and black ink drain down the paper. Next, a straw was used to blow drops of the liquids was across the paper.

Different dilutions of the black ink was used to create the bird image.

Two blue watercolor pencils were use to highlight the feathers. Once the pencil was sketched on, water was used to soften the color.

Final product

The calligraphy pens were used to create detail and definition.

Review of Muse Kits October 2022 gift box subscription

When I first opened the box, I thought the coffee was the snack. I was surprised to learn that I would actually be painting with it. Being game to try and learn any type of art, I dove right in. I was happy with the quality of the supplies and tools that were given. The instructions were easy to follow and left room for individual interpretation. See the picture above as proof. This was my first attempt at this type of painting.

See www.musekits.com more information. Muse Kits offer 1, 3, and 6 month subscriptions. As of November 2022, they do not offer an annual subscription. You can also purchase an individual box from past projects.
