If you’re an artist, you know that having the right art supplies is essential to your creative process. Not only do you need quality materials, but you also need access to the right tools and resources. Sometimes you have to experience the products before you can choose the right ones for you. Here are just a few of the benefits of shopping for art supplies in person.
Buying the best you can
As an artist, there are times when it’s important to have quality supplies, as they can make a noticeable difference in the result of your artwork. Investing in dependable products like those from Winsor & Newton and Daley Rowney is a great way to do this, with both companies offering extensive ranges suitable for any type of art you may want to pursue.
Of course, if you’re on a budget there are plenty of respectable brands that offer cheaper options – though where possible it’s worth investing in quality over quantity. Quality products are often easier to use, provide a better finish and they present better too when your work is displayed or sold.
When the budget option can work
If you’re spending your budget on quality materials, where can you save money?
If your work requires several sheets of bristol board or canvas paper, look for a bulk pack rather than buying single sheets. Similarly with paint and brushes, there are often larger packs available that provide better value for money.
When it comes to glues and adhesives, there are a range of products available to suit every budget.

Why buying in-store is often best
Going into an art supply shop is a great way to access a large variety of materials and tools. By touching and feeling the items first-hand, you can gain a better understanding of their weight, texture and what they can create.
Browsing can also spark new ideas and concepts. And if you need advice, knowledgeable staff can help you choose supplies that will suit you.
From paper types to paints, pencils to scissors, entering an art supply shop can open up a world of creative possibilities, helping you discover new methods for expressing yourself.
