If you are new to the type of art supplies you need and want of personal assistance, or wanting just a few things, then I recommend:
LOCAL Orange County Art Suppliers:
The ABSOLUTE BEST is: ART SUPPLY WAREHOUSE
6672 Westminster Blvd.,
Westminster, CA 92683 www.ArtSupplyWarehouse.com
714-891-3626
Hours: Mon-Fri 9-8
Sat-Sun 10-9
Art Supply Warehouse has the BEST local prices around. They carry just about everything. Their people are extremely knowledgeable
and very helpful. This is a great place to save money - especially if you are purchasing a lot of supplies.
I highly recommend the Art Supply Warehouse.
MICHAELS ARTS & CRAFTS
To find a store near you, go to: www.Michaels.com
Michael's is convenient and carries the brushes you need for oil painting, but has less of the other supplies.
Their prices are average and staff knowledge is fair.
AARON BROTHERS
To find a store near you, go to: www.AaronBrothers.com
Aaron Brothers is convenient, but has less supplies.
Their prices are average and staff knowledge is fair. Returns can often be a hassle.
STERLING ART SUPPLY
Unfortunately, Sterling Art has closed their doors for real this time folks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ONLINE ORDERING:
Now days, prices for art supplies are BETTER when you order them online - especially if you are ordering a lot of supplies. I've found that Dick Blick and Rex Art seem to have the best online prices. It usually takes about a week to get your order.
DICK BLICK
The BEST Art Supplies .....at the best discounts. www.DickBlick.com carries the Loew Cornell #7020 Watercolor Brushes that I love and recommend. These are low-cost brushes that wear extremely well and will last you for years.
REX ART www.RexArt.com
Rex Art also carries the
Loew Cornell 7020 Watercolor Brushes that I Love (and you will too!)
"They are SO WELL WORTH IT"! says Kathy from Costa Mesa!
Rex Art has super great prices and just about everything you could want.
CHEAP JOES ART SUPPLIES
1-800-227-2788 This is an online store. Go to: www.CheapJoes.com
Cheap Joes has great prices. They usually carry their own brand of supplies and are continually adding more, so it is difficult for me to say that their brand is as good as name brands I know and trust. Order their free catalog.
PEARL www.PearlPaint.com
800-451-7327
Pearl closed their Huntington Beach location, but you can still shop online.
