Art Store Tour: Arthouse Direct! Richmond, Melbourne Store
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2024
- In today's episode of Art Store Tours, I will be doing a thorough walk through of Arthouse Direct, one of six stores in Australia. This is their inner city Melbourne shop in the suburb of Richmond. It's not the biggest art shop but it has a lot of interesting supplies inside, so join me as we look around the store together!

What a cute shop! Thanks for bringing us along, best of all, no temptation 😅
Except if one lives in Melbourne, haha!
A lot of brand names I’ve never heard of but so many things I’d put in my basket. At least today I got my virtual shopping fix without any guilt and expense. Great video. And now I need to use up what I already have. 😉
There were so many things in here that I don't have because they're less common brands. Those gouache boxes in particular are items I coveted, haha!
Hi Becky the shop looks beautiful they need to bring some of these shops up to Townsville Qld that would be great.. I’ve checked their website too thanks for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊xxxx
Melbourne definitely has a lot of art shops! 😂
I love these art shop tours!!! I take my virtual shopping basket with me as your walking around and say to myself, I'm having that, and that, and that and pop them all in my basket, then when I get to the till I have to put the whole lot back as I'm poor, boo!! :( Absolutely loved this shop though, your so lucky so have some amazing art stores in your area :D great video!
I was doing the same thing while walking around the store. I want that, and that, and that.....😂 I am getting better at NOT buying a lot of stuff when doing these tours though, otherwise I'll go bankrupt very quickly. I just enjoy wandering around them with the camera, and yes I'm very grateful to live somewhere that has a whole load of awesome art shops. ❤
Wonderful tour! I love seeing art stores in other places! They have a wonderful and diverse selection! Thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
This is wonderful, so stunning ☺☺☺
Wow! What a fantastic store. It may be small but it’s packed with goodies!!! Thankyou for sharing
Thank you - I had fun filming in there!
I've used the Marabu Easy Marble paints a few times early on in my channel and they are addicting! So fun. I wanted to marble everything in my house, lol.
Haha I can imagine! 😂
I am so envious... no art stores where I live. I really miss having a browse.
There is nothing quite like being in a physical art store, an experience that online shopping can’t give. I hope my virtual tours are of some consolation. ❤️
A small store... or for me: "paradise" 🤣 This is one of the few times I'm happy I'll never be able to visit that shop (insert pathetic sigh here) - of course I watched the whole video nonetheless 🥰
Small by comparison to The Art Shop, which is enormous, haha! 😂
🤩I can't get enough of your shop tours! Thanks, Becky - you're the best! I'm really curious about those Italian art papers.
Thank you! Those Magnani papers look beautiful, don't they? ❤️
Hi Becky, this was so cool.. i would probably buy a Kum brush to go with my kum sharperner if i were there just because, lol. What a cute store. I hope they get more business because of your tour. Just imagine, you are moving up in the world.
Hopefully it brought some custom their way! Slowly but surely crawling my way to the top. 😂
Wow, it’s so cool that the store asked you to tour their store! I think I used to pass this store back in the day when I worked in a factory during the holidays before uni and I would take the 48(?) tram to work. I kept on telling myself to visit it someday (although I’ve bought from their online store). This video is definitely a sign telling me to make good on my promise to myself years ago 😂
They'd seen some of my other tours so my videos are starting to get around out there, yay! 😆
Such a fun tour! I would have gone home with so many things!
It was so hard to resist everything! 😂
Great tour as always. It might be just me, but I'd love to see a tour of a paint manufacturer like Art Spectrum??
Future goals for sure! Art Spectrum has a store so I hope to visit that. Factory tours would be awesome and hopefully I can organise something eventually.
Thanks for another cool artshop tour. I was going "No Becky! Resist the urge to buy all these wonderful art supplies because you already have heaps!" hehehe 😂 But yeah, a tour of an Art Spectrum store/factory, that'd be amazing.
This was fun!!!
Wow what an awesome shop!!! Sooooo many goodies ❤️
I had fun filming it! 😆
I love your art shop tours! There are so many art stores in Melbourne, I am jealous. They have a lot of items and brands we don't see often in Australia. I'd like to try the Jack Richeson soft pastels. I have the Shiva oil stiks and they are excellent, fun but also messy to use.
I prefer painting on a canvas when it comes to acrylics or oils but storage is a problem indeed. But I don't use these mediums often.
Keep those tours coming! I am off to place an order now. 😄
Thank you! There are still a lot of stores out there to visit. A ridiculous amount around Melbourne really, lol. 😂
I love art store tours!!! I recently found a little gem of an art store in a nearby city. So much fun to walk around and look at all the goodies 😊.
It's always so fun to find a new art shop! I think I know just about all of them in Melbourne now, but every so often a new one will appear on my radar. 😂
Field trip! This was fun. I have one Kum watercolor brush. I think it’s very good. It retains its shape and is durable.
That's good to know! I didn't even realise they made brushes, but if their quality sharpeners are anything to go by, then I imagine the brushes would be good too. 😊
@@BeckyTregear I only knew about Kum sharpeners as well, so when I saw they made paint brushes I had to buy one. I wish I had bought more! 🤭
I have been using the Little Brain paint sticks which are the kids' version of oil paint sticks. Would like to use the proper oil paint sticks you can get starter kits.
Very helpful thank you.
I love these videos
Shinhan Pass are great to use, really very pigmented, a little goes a very long way. I have a good selection and have use them a fir bit. They really pack a punch and are good for styles that focus on impact. Also if you work on a larger scale. Used as a gouache they can be painted over each other exactly like traditional gouache, but dilute they behave like watercolour.
I really want to try them now!
As always such a well done tour! Hope you got some goodies 😊
A bag of free samples, yay! 😌
Hi Becky , thank you for sharing lovely walk about . shame I live in the UK hahahaha Happy swatching
If I ever get back to the UK, I'll be planning my visit around art shops over there, lol!
@@BeckyTregear good luck ,as we dont have many as yours
@@bethmegansmith4642 I'll find 'em! Google is my friend, haha. 😂
🤣😂😅🤣😂@@BeckyTregear
Wow you have some awesome art stores. So many brands I’ve never seen before. Didn’t know Kum made brushes. Unfortunately our closest art store is two hours away :( OK fess up what did you buy? Thanks for the tour Becky.
I actually managed to not buy stuff this time, though it was really hard to resist some of those watercolours and gouaches! Nick bought me a brush and I was given a bag of free samples so I didn't come home empty handed. 😁
Well done, I don’t think I could have been as strong!@@BeckyTregear
The Shinhan Pass are great. They kind of remind me of the holbein acrylgouache but theyre reactivate-able with water. Theyre a very similar texture. So, watery but still thick and opaque.
Interesting that you have blockx. Ive only seen it in the US online at a specialty rare art supply store and they came in giant watercolor pans. Havent seen the tubes.
That Shinhan hybrid gouache sounds awesome, especially for reactivation! I want to delve more into Blockx...large pans sound intriguing as well.
I don't think I've heard of this store. Although to be fair, I mostly only know stores local to me or who have large online footprints. I know you mentioned AHD is online too, but I normally see Art Shop or Senior Art when I do my online searches. I don't normally go past Art Shop, since I'm happy with their service and are local to me
Now I'm thinking how I have to go to Bayswater today. But maybe I won't actually go there (plus that whole owning everything I could possibly use in a lifetime thing 😂).
This store reminds me a little of one I found right before Covid. It was a block north of Melbourne Central and it was actually 2 stories. I loved going there and browsing the aisles. It was just as I was taking art up again, so it was too early for me to fully embrace all things there, as I didn't know what everything was. I was sad when they disappeared during the 2020 closures. I wish I could go back, as it was so convenient and had so much cool stuff.
I only have Eckersley near my office now and they are more expensive than everyone else, so I don't buy much from them. They also have a very tiny paper selection there, and I'd like more
I went to the larger Bendigo store years ago, not realising it's the same company, haha! But they do a good paper sale every six months or so, and also have some interesting brands which aren't as common so that's always nice. Was the shop Dean's Art? I'm trying to think of what other ones were around the city. I know Dean's closed a few stores and that may have been one of them. If it was something else, then I don't remember it, haha. Ecklerley's is definitely hit and miss when it comes to prices - sometimes I'll find a good deal there but often they can be way more expensive than other places.
It was something like like Art Store. It was a very simple name and around the corner from Eckersleys. It was so good.
I upgraded all my acrylics at Eckersleys as that was one of the few times when their sales were so good, it beat everyone else locals. Although I still topped up at the Art Shop as they have cheaper shipping.
@@lozantoninocreations that may have been Melbourne Artist Supplies? If I remember correctly they had a store on Little La Trobe St near Melbourne Central.
@@lozantoninocreations Melbourne artist supplies, they now have shops in Brunswick and Hampton East, and online
@@siobhanexplores yes that's it. It was a great store and I miss it. I enjoyed going in on my lunch breaks but only discovered it right before all the lockdowns started.
Ooo, the Marabu Easy Marble Paints are pretty fun. I tried them at a craft fair yeeeaaars ago 😂 you basically fill a bucket with water, drip the paints onto the water and marble it a little with a stick if you like, then dip for example a plastic Easter egg into it (I hope you know what I mean lol I do think you've hydro dip-painted stuff before, right?). The paint is pretty sticky though, so best to protect your clothes. ok, on to the shop tour 😄
Ah yes, I know what you mean! I've never done hydro-dipping before but it sure does look messy! 😂
Okay…. What did you buy 😂. Lovely shop, lots of goodies, will have to go online and take a look. Great video, have a great weekend.
Haha! I actually behaved myself this time, though I did get given a whole load of paper samples, so I'll probably show those at some point. There are things on my wishlist though, like that orange box of gouache!
@@BeckyTregear I signed up for Sarah Burns gouache subscription box, but the first box only arrived a few days ago, I haven’t used gouache, but love her paintings. The papers were a lovely surprise I’m sure for you and I always look forward to what you make and do. More shopping for sure, so yes you need more supplies including gouache.
Oh cool, they have loose stock of the Cray-Pas Expressionist oil pastels. Will do a restock when I start my job. Their website seems to be broken
It seems to be working for me, hopefully you can access it! 🙂
I have tried Clairefontaine Fontaine 100% cotton watercolor paper and... 😣 I think their star product is the pastelmat.
I haven't tried the watercolour paper yet, but that pastelmat seems lovely!
Not really a fan of this store, been there twice and they never have what I'm looking for. Their Essendon store is much better (also a bigger store), I haven't been out to Sunbury or Bendigo yet, one day! Another art store that is on my list is The Artists Warehouse in Pakenham, waiting for the new railway station to open so I don't have to drive through the city haha! The Art Shop will always be my favourite, though.
I had to buy Atelier Interactive for uni and was surprised to find that it is made in Australia. Jo Sonja is also made here. Always nice to find something made here.
Arthouse Direct is the only place I've ever seen that Clairefontaine PaintON paper, I got an A6 pad of different papers, haven't used it yet though. They also sell Stillman & Birn Nova sketchbooks which I haven't found elsewhere. Richmond don't sell the S&B sketchbooks at all though, which is disappointing. Essendon is the place to go for those (I don't know about their other stores though).
I love the Pakenham one and recommend it too. I was always telling them about these cool Japanese paints i use that NO ONE stocked. They eventually got them in and in all the colours I couldn't even purchase online! They're absolutely lovely people the owners and are always on the look out for great supplies to offer people 😊
I haven't been to the Essendon shop, as it's a little further afield. I'm sure the larger stores have way more stuff in them! I haven't been to Artist Warehouse yet - I guess a trip to Pakenham will be on the cards at some point now, haha.
@@meikahidenori oooh I am even more looking forward to visiting now!
First!
Gray Matters!!!! Now I wanna watch Breaking Bad, AGAIN... 😂
I mean in the series the name is Gray Matter but still.... now I wanna watch it again. 😅😅😅
I supposed u know what Breaking Bad is, but just in case, is a series of a school chemistry teacher who after been diagnosed with cancer decides to raise money by cooking meth.... that in a nutshell, but is soooo much more than that.... Anyway, Grey MattersTechnologies (in the series) is scientific research company founded by Walter WHITE (the teacher) and Elliot Schwartz a classmate and friend (Schwartz meaning black in German).... so White and black equals Grey... there u go, some color theory right there on Breaking Bad too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha yes I watched the entire series, and Better Call Saul as well. They were both excellent shows and I was thinking I'd heard the term Grey Matters before.....that would be why, lol!!
@@BeckyTregear Oh yes! Better Call Saul too! Actually I bought the coloring book from Amazon... very well made btw, and I was able to find all the images, but one, on Google, so I colored each page accurately! Used watercolor pencils and had a blast! I also wanted the Breaking Bad Coloring Book but is been out of print for the longest time.... Everytime I remember I go do a quick search but no... still nothing. I should've bought it when I had the chance.
Ohhhh... and Im super sad also cause I bought 2 other coloring books, nothing fancy..... just Tom & Jerry and The Flinstones that were my favorite cartoons when I was a lil girl, and then I went back to buy then again, to give to my grandkids, and they are no longer available... like nowhere to be found!!! And I remember when I bought them there were sooooooo many!!!! 😔
No major watercolours companies?
Not the usual ones for sure! I guess they want to have different brands to compete with the many other stores in Melbourne and Australia. I like that they have some unique brands. Also I think they may be bringing in more watercolour supplies soon.😊
@@BeckyTregear Thanks!
