Places to Purchase Art Supplies Online:

  • Discount School Supplies
    One of my favorite places to buy art supplies. They're very fast too. Will ship in a day or two. On the "must have" list are liquid watercolors and Biocolor paints.
  • Lakeshore Learning Materials
    I've bought from their catalog and through their stores. They have excellent quality materials but not at discounted prices. Their online shop is supposed to be available in early 2000.
  • The Art Shoppe
    A very comprehensive online catalog of discounted art supplies.
  • Amsterdam Art
    A favorite local store.
  • Artist and Craftsman Supply
    25-45% discount on acrylics, oils and watercolors. Their online catalog includes hard-to-find stuff like supplies for gilding, candlemaking and bookmaking.
  • The Wholesale Art Supply Company
    40-60% off everything everyday! I'm there!
  • Dharma Trading Company
    Another favorite local store with an online catalog. They offer textile craft supplies like dyes, silk, and fabric paints.
  • Flax Art Design
    My favorite store of all. If you're ever on Market Street in SF stop in to visit. This place is incredible. Bins and bins of beautiful hand made paper from all over the world. If you don't live in the Bay Area their online catalog will have to suffice!
  • Flax Art Supplies
    I stumbled upon this while looking for the other Flax place. Don't know much about it but they do have a nice online catalog.
    Update! Avalon Arts is now an affiliate of Flax. Check out our new, improved Art Supply Store.
