Great selection of sketchbooks with great prices. Infinite selection of paints, brushes, colored pencils, felts, pastels and more. Friendly helpful staff. Lots of fun Bob Ross gifts! (Note - not located in Kensington. Good location near Heritage Meadows with lots of free parking)

How did I not visit this store earlier! Loved it. Didn’t have time to browse around too much but I will definitely be back. Friendly staff as well.
