Local Stores
Supplies can be purchased from Jerry's Artarama (highly recommended), Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. Some, but not all, items are available at Wal-Mart.
Online Retailers
Students usually spend less using an online retailer. I recommend the following:
Jerry's Artarama: www.jerrysartarama.com
Dick Blick Art Supplies: www.dickblick.com
Student Grade vs. Professional Grade
The basic rule when deciding between "student" or "professional" grade products is to buy the best that you can afford. The phrase "You Get What You Pay For" is very true with art materials, especially with paint and brushes.
Talk to your instructor if you have questions.
Refund Policy
There are no refunds for missed classes. Please be sure of your availability to attend classes before signing up.
