The beauty and convenience of ordering thing online are, no doubt, some of the best "side effects" of our Internet age.

However, I LOVE offline art stores.

Cool Finds

1) LOTS of cute and practical notebooks and sketchbooks for watercolor or mixed media, including weekly planners. The one with

2) Amazing deals on artist-grade gouache (Winsor Newton Designer Gouache)

3) Practical Golden set that already come with glazing medium or retarders AND their slow drying medium - a must if you are still learning how to handle drying times in acrylics. Golden Open Mixing set will last you long time and you will be able to paint anything with it.

See you next week!
