Walk into any art studio and the wonderful smell of paint will hit you (and further evidence is likely to be all over the floor, walls and ceiling too). And have you ever wondered what's in those large portfolios you see them carrying round? Those great big portfolios you see them walking round with. And we must not forget that the contemporary artists plying their trade in the galleries and exhibitions the world over will have honed their techniques using the same paint brushes, paints, chisels and kilns as their more famous forebears.
So when starting to learn the basic techniques in art, design or crafts, a useful thing to do is to find an art supplier that can be of help. And if their prices are competitive, well, it certainly won't cost you dearly either! Shopping via the internet is now a convenient method of getting supplies, with most good retailers large and small getting in on the e-commerce act. In addition to having the opportunity to compare prices and seek out new products, you can join mailing lists to be alerted to special offers and stock clearance sales. It's easy to dismiss these emails as junk, but all outlets need to keep their stock levels manageable and if they have over-ordered or if they're clearing space for Christmas or the new university term, you can get some genuine bargains. Also, you might be offered a material you've not heard of previously, perhaps because of cost, and find out that it's a life-changing product that inspires you to do great things.
