I'm not an artist myself but every time I go here with my boyfriend, he finds everything he needs. Whenever we call to ask about their products or we're in the store scouring for a specific item, they know all about the different brands & always have great recommendations. If you're not a member, you have to pay a $10 fee but it's worth it because you're sent coupons through email/snail mail on top of the many sales they have.
