    This is my local art store! The staff is amazing, the store is amazing, and they have really interesting demos and events. They just had their Watercolor Weekend since it’s world watercolor month and it was awesome. Their scratch and dent section is such a treasure chest to see what deals you can find. Trippy to see you poking around at items I’d looked at myself! It’s such a lovely place.

      Aw, that’s amazing it’s your local shop. What an amazing resource!! I saw they had all the watercolor weekend promotion going on when I was there, but I didn’t realize there were blind boxes until I checked their instagram later in my route home. I was like DARN I SHOULD HAVE GOT ONE!! Next time :) And yes, the scratch and dent section was so cool and unique (to me because I’ve never seen that in an art store before). That’s cool we looked at some of the same items :) Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts with us here!

      @@FionaCArt oh I can relate to being excited over art supply stores! 💃🏻 I can spend a lot of time looking at brushes and paints. I am a recent convert to posca markers, about 6 months ago I decided to start practicing more mixed media, so I bought a spiral bound Canson xl mixed media pad just to “play” in, I also bought my first (of many now) package of Posca. The paper is great it is inexpensive and can take quite a bit of abuse. Each day when I get to my studio I work in that pad for about 10-20 min. It’s turned out to be a great warm up and I have fallen for posca in the process! Last week I went to the Michaels store closest to me and they only had 2 sets of posca markers hanging on a very bare wall!😳 it looked so awful. But when I asked if they’d be getting more in I learned that they have it all out back and only display two at a time because or rampant theft! Our America is not what it used to be is it?!!! I guess the thieves are posca fans too!
      Lately my obsession has been to put together little plein air kits to have them ready to grab & go (watercolor, liner pens, pencils), so I’ve been on the prowl at art supply sites online for small cases etc. I found that small tactical cases meant for hunting or survival kits are perfect and half the price because they aren’t an art supply! Just don’t drop them in the woods- they blend in!😂

At my Michael’s they keep them behind lock and key and then if you have the employees open it for you, they carry it to the front and say you can get it at the register after paying!! So wild!!

    Thanks for taking us through this fab art supply store. It’s great to see a family-owned store and that they even still exist. There are so many family-owned businesses that over the years, just couldn’t compete with large corporates….or in their effort to grow, they over-expanded and then couldn’t make it work and had to close. I’ll have to remember to check their prices and shipping online. I figure they’re similar to Blick’s in pricing, but they may sell some products that Blick’s doesn’t have or have some deals that no one else has. I also buy from my local fine art supply, Plaza Art (I live in suburban Md, near DC.) They are a smaller, mostly East coast chain. When I can, I do buy from them and like to support them. They are the only fine art supply store near me and their pricing is similar to Blick’s. But I do buy a good bit of art supplies from Amazon too, (sometimes their deals are hard to ignore) and occasionally from Michael’s who carry some fine art, but not near the range of Plaza Art or Blick’s. Thanks! 😊

      Thank you for watching and your comment, Nancy :) I tend to shop at my local Jerry’s Artarama or Blick for my fine art supplies, but as you say sometimes amazon can’t be ignored. I also have Michaels for when I’m in a pinch. I do have to say Michaels is great for Black Friday deals - I usually check them out intentionally around that time of year. I’ll have to check out Plaza Art next time I’m in the DC area! Thanks for the recommendation :)

    Awesome store and awesome to see something like this still out there. There was a pretty large furniture store that closed in Huntington Beach CA about 20+ years ago and a Plaid art store moved into that space that was probably about this size. I don't think they were even open for 3 years before closing probably due to their prices as a long standing, fully stocked, art store nearby always had great prices.

    This makes me so desperately miss my favorite toy store - the Pearl Art Supplies in Tampa, FL. They went out of business and had the best sale. A fluke of car ownership led me to make the best purchase in my art life time. I was driving a VW Beetle convertible at the time they had their closing sale. I was going to buy many huge gallery wrapped canvases until I realized the wouldn't fit in my car. So I went in the opposite direction and bought out all the Series 7 Kolinsky sable brushes at 75% off. SCORE!!!!!!
    Thank you for sharing this dream shopping trip. I still get a art store fix when I visit family in South Florida and stop into Jerry's ArtRama. If this tropical gal ever makes it that far north, Hyatt's is on my list.

    • @cindybattisti1223
      @cindybattisti1223 3 місяці тому

      ​@@FionaCArt The biggest competitor was The Art Store/Commercial Art Supply based in Syracuse. They and Hyatts both had a branch in Rochester so it was a big "battle" for customers. There was always talk of "Jerry's Artarama" purchasing Commercial Art - not sure if they ever did but not really sure what the relationship was. We'd see fliers from Jerry's and consider them a big threat but I think the threat kind of fizzled out.
      Meanwhile there was "Rochester Art Supply" here as well. They were more for "real Artists" not graphic and illustration supplies.
      It was interesting days, when all graphic design was done by hand cut films and illustration was done on illustration boards. Computer art was just starting for ad agencies and everyone thought it would never catch on!
      But the days of illustration board, letraset and rubylith were numbered. There was no way three art suppLy stores were needed in a city our size. Only the original "Rochester Art Supply" remains here now. Looks like they are called "Fine Art Store" now.

    I can see why they greeted you at the door! Not too many crafters in the area?

      Yeah, they were super friendly :) I'm not sure about crafters in the area as I'm not from there, but based on the comments for this video, I'd say there's a pretty fair fan base! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

    I’m calling my credit card company to increase the limit after watching this. Could you post the details of what paint brushes you bought ? I had a serious dopamine rush after seeing EVERYTHING you came home with ! 😊🎉

    WOw that store is amazing, thanks for sharing. I would be like you and want everything.
    My favorite posca is the slate grey along with the coral pink and apple green.
    Was intrigued at the posca counter, the wall behind the glass posca cabinet was those huge, looked like paint tubes, interesting. Happy for you looked like a blast.
    Can't wait to see the Toronto vid. Take care

      It was really cool! The coral pink is one of my favoritessssss! I do love the idea of making the switch to the refillable tubes - especially since you can mix your own inks that way. Toronto video coming next week so stay tuned for that :) Have a beautiful weekend, friend!

      I did a round of shopping then calculated the cost and had to put somethings back lolol My wallet hurt, but it could’ve been WAY WORSE! What section at the Art supply store always gets you? Obviously for me it’s the paint markers lol

      @@FionaCArt Yeah, i think the Fabriano paper was a good deal. I could be wrong, but I hear a few years ago that they dont make watercolor papers anymore and it was hard to find, which was a shame because Fabriano and Arches are the best paper. But this was also during Covid so I dont know if they started to make paper again or not. But I dont have any art stores around me.. the closest thing I have would be a Hobby Lobby but they dont have much name brand or higher quality stuff. I order everything online unfortunately.. I would love to browse a store to see all my options. I always like the paper section though.. I love checking out watercolor paper and sketchbooks. I would really like to check out a colored pencil section though, but the real art stores are a few hours away.. one day I will get there lol
