You can buy supplies here at Art Supply Wholesale, an independent art store at 4 Enon St., in Beverly, (800/462-2420) with very competitive pricing. If the links don’t work, go to allartsupplies.com and type my name – Cara Connors – into the search bar and it will take you to the class supplies. (Also, consider bringing a small notebook and pencil or pen for taking notes.)

Important

If the store is out of the Arches watercolor pad (or any other supplies) please do not buy another watercolor pad by a different brand; they are NOT the same quality.

Instead you can do one of the following:

 

  • Get the same Arches watercolor pad in a larger size

  • OR order online from DickBlick.com here or visit the store in Cambridge, MA, 

  • OR order online from Artist and Craftsman here or visit the store on Route 1 in Saugus

  • OR Buy a watercolor block,* not a pad, by Arches or Fabriano: (You want 140 lb, cold press, 100% cotton, at least 10 x 14 inches.) *Blocks are glued on all four sides.

  • OR Buy a full watercolor sheet (which can be ripped/cut into 4 smaller sheets) by Arches or Fabriano: watercolor paper full sheet (22 x 30 inches)140 lb cold press, 100% cotton.

 

Please know that although these supplies are not inexpensive,

they will last you a long time and are an investment in your creativity!
