Blick Art Materials is an artist's haven for everything an artist needs. It's the ABCs to ART. No exaggeration at all. If you've ever taken an art class or happened to stumble upon this place, well my friend, you've really found a great place!
I first heard about this place when I took a drawing class at CSN in the winter of '08. I was sent off with a long list of materials to have before my next class and their entire staff was so great! They took the time to help me get everything I needed and jumped me to the front to pay-- no wait! I had such a positive experience going there back and forth for different pencils and gadgets that I come here for everything that has anything to do with art. I recently came here to fill up on oil paint for a recent art gallery for church. I knew exactly where everything was because sometimes, change isn't a good thing :)
In my most recent experience, I came across plenty of coupons and emails about sales and decided to take advantage of it. As busy as I can get, I didn't have my coupon from the mail on me so my gf called the store and spoke with someone about not having the coupon with us, but being that we were already on the road heading to the store, one the sales associates told her that they have some extra so come on down to the store. I really needed some canvas ASAP so I can start on my painting!
Compared to stores like Michael's or even Walmart, Blick is the shh! I can spend hours upon hours browsing and making a gigantic wish list for all the cool stuff they have in there. I used to go to Brooks Brothers for canvas, but Blick got those too! Cheaper, even! I'm so glad that I found this place. I will definitely be back when I start taking up painting again! :)
