ARTISTS

"An artist is no bigger than the size of his mind." - Jack Shadbolt

Art materials are for everyone, not just “professional” artists. We all have a right or maybe even a responsibility to ourselves to explore the rich and concrete world of color, texture and shape.  Frequently this is done with traditional art materials.

Find an independent art supply store that you can build loyalty with. They will give you the best service and information if they see you keep coming back. Ask to be shown the products you need in order to achieve what you want to do. Remember, we all have questions or have asked them at sometime or another! 

NAMTA, The International Art Materials Trade Association, provides the resources below for artists to become more familiar with the materials used to make art. The members of NAMTA are the manufacturers and retailers of art supplies.
