I came here to buy some supplies for a watercolor studio class I started taking at the VMFA Studio School. I have zero experience with watercolors so was pretty lost as to what the class material list was saying. Thankfully, I was given a lot of help by two of the people who worked here. They helped me pick out the closest colors to the list (the material list hadn't been updated since 2015) and helped me grab the appropriate brushes.Art supplies aren't cheap, but after signing up for their rewards program, it took about $100 off my purchase. I paid about $135 for four brushes, six paints, paper, a drawing pad, pencils, an eraser, a palette, and pens. It's a smaller shop, but it had everything I was looking for. Plaza Artist Materials is a wonderful place to get art supplies for watercolor painting.
