Carries Games-Workshop (Warhammer) products. Great paint and brush selections (I use acrylics). Ask about discounts.

Art Essentials is a marvelous store. They even created a shrine a couple of times for my students to find their art supplies in a special section of the store! They also take special orders for their customers!

Excellent selection and helpful staff. Quirky and independent, but well organized! I'll definitely be back.

really great art supply store for paints, pencils, sketchbooks, and printmaking supplies— i just wish they had more fiber arts and sewing materials but i understand if there isn’t enough demand for stock

I always go to Art Essentials #1 to support a local small business and #2 the staff always has good, practical answers for my questions about materials. My experience is that the staff are all doing art too, so they can tell you which brushes are best for a specific project or what kind of medium works best for a certain effect in oil. I love their papers and they often have items on sale at a great discount!

Love this art supply store! Was so happy to find this place recently, they have a great selection of high quality hard, medium and soft pastels and pastel pencils. I no longer have to drive to Blick in Santa Monica to get what I need. They also have a great selection of oil, watercolor and acrylic paints and inks and lots more. Just a really nice selection of everything with good prices. Very helpful and friendly staff. Will be visiting this store often.

It's nice to be able to visit a true art store. Their selection of items to art is generous and the staff are willing to take their time to help. I left the Store with what I needed and happy. I am glad we still have a real Art store
