While we’re talking about color and design, we cannot neglect mentioning the Celtic arts and design. So, here we’ll take a look at 60 clip art and reference files you can download and experiment with! But first, let me introduce you some valuable resources available for discovering the Celtic arts!

This is what “Celtic art” evokes for much of the art world even though the most inspiring work was created nearly a thousand years earlier. It’s a fascinating art genre well worth some study.
