One that I read years ago and loved was Dark Visions by LJ Smith. It’s not all based on art, but the main character is psychic who’s power manifests itself in the form of art. Really good book!!!
REN CROWN ???? it’s so so good, too complex to explain here but check it out if you can! the worldbuilding and the characters are amazing and ren is a powerful mage who channels her powers through her art
the villain is her evil art teacher lol her most powerful weapons are literally the paints and brushes and paintings she makes. and the ebooks are all pretty cheap since the author is self published!!
No idea, but Mortal Instruments has Clary, who is an art person.
It’s not YA but Little Fires Everywhere was a good book and the main character is an artist.
Enchantment of Ravens
It’s YA Fantasy
sorry, again not YA but interesting, The Forger by B A Shapiro
I found The Art Forger very informative and interesting…and I know nothing about art and painting… Good book!
❤️❤️I’ll Give You The Sun!!!❤️❤️
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson has some emphasis on art + art class
The embrace series by Jessica shirvington, the main character is an artist.
I think daughter of smoke and bone does too
