POCKET WATERCOLOR PALETTES
Compact, configurable, cute. These awesome Palettes feature a high-quality mixing surface and magnetic tray to mix-and-match five sizes of stainless steel refillable watercolor pans. We stock the Pocket Palette & the Demi Palette, as well as the refill pans in both sizes. Perfect for on the go painting! If you need a fancy stocking stuffer for your favorite artist (or yourself) these are one I would recommend putting on your wishlist.
So many ways to customize and make your own palette! See the Palette combos video below to get an idea. We are excited to carry a few Art Toolkit products and will be bringing some more in. Check out their blog and worskhop/demos HERE. There are many fun things to explore there. We love this PNW company and are excited to stock a small selection of their palettes. If there is anything you'd like to see us carry in store, let me know! I always welcome another excuse to order more of their things. Even if these are not the right tool or palette for you, they are worth a look next time you are in the shop. They are so tiny and cute.
 New Brushes! ooooh lalaaaWe are so excited to stock the Rosemary & Co Brushes now! We brought quite a few of these in a few months ago and I can't wait to bring more in soon. These brushes are beautiful! Handmade in England for over 35 years. High quality handmade brushes are so delicious, and these ones do not disappoint. Having the right tools, like a good brush, make the world of difference in painting.  These lettering brushes and evergreen series are so fun! Take a look at the video below to see a mini tour of the ones we have. They might be hiding in the forest of brushes when you visit so if you don't see them, just ask us and we will show you! We also have a few of her beautiful sets! These are curated to be such a great selection. The packaging does not show off how amazing they are, but the packaging is not what matters. You can find more detailed layouts of these sets on their website or by emailing me for that info. The beginning watercolor set here has so many great brushes in it! We love all of these sets and think you will too.  This Workbench Warriors set is so cool too! Full of miniature sable spotters, rounds, and liners. It truly is full of some warrior tools.  These pocket brushes are so cool!!! We started with 4 of them, but already want to carry more shapes and styles. These are out on the floor in one spot but displayed more behind the counter so if you dont see them on the floor- just order at the bar. These would also make a great fancy stocking stuffer. 
 Swords, daggers, liners, pointed rounds, and lettering- oh my!  It was really hard picking a small selection of her brushes and sets so I am looking forward to bringing more in soon. Are you familiar with her brushes? If you have favorites you want us to stock, just let me know.
 ArtGraf Graphite Sticks- A unique blend of graphite and binders, ArtGraf Graphite Sticks are ideal when used dry for drawing or with a range of water-soluble techniques. Formulated to offer superior results, these high-quality graphite sticks produce a large range of washes and graphite grays. Available in 3.5” stick or Graphite XL (7”x2”x1”). ArtGraf Carbon Sticks & Pencils- Featuring a rich matte, black lead, these pencils provide an ultra-smooth and consistent stroke and make blending and shading a breeze! We stock all of the ArtGraf products and they are a fun tool to explore. Here are a few goofy videos I did to show the difference in the pencils and sticks. You will also find a link at the end of a professional video that shows some more of the fun you can have with these products. He is primarily using one of the discs and the pencils and sticks are similar. We stock a small selection of the discs, putty, and powder. We can always order you any of the products you want. Find all our options in store or explore them online at our catalog shop HERE.
 Add shimmer to your projects Rub ‘n Buff wax finishes are so cool! Formulated from Carnauba waxes, fine metallic powders, and select pigments for a finish no paint can duplicate. Rub onto clean, dry, or previously painted surfaces or on post-fired ceramics with a finger or soft cloth, then gently buff to a beautiful luster. More buff, more shine! Spiff up all the light switch covers in your house. Make those drawer pull hardware pieces unique. Use it on your favorite hammer to make it look like gold, haha. Detail trim, make your screws and hardware shine, pots & pottery, light fixtures, and the list is endless. Works on metal, glass, plastic, wood, and all kinds of surfaces. Workable for a bit and can smudge and smear it before you buff n shine it. It sets up as it dries so it’s an easy fix and refresh on all kinds of things. Of course we love it to fix up or refresh old picture frames but it’s cool for so many more things. They have discontinued many colors over the years but we stock all the colors available at both our stores. We may even have some stock left on discontinued colors… you never know what you will find here. Ask to see our color chart of color options. Tips: A little bit goes a long way! You really don’t need much and the tube goes so far. Use a bristle brush to get it into grooves or blend it for a textured look. Sand or scuff up the surface - just lightly- if you’re having adhesion problems. Use thin coats and light layers. If you need a second coat, let the first one dry completely. I’m always too impatient and want another layer before it’s time, haha. Have fun & experiment with it in different ways. Have you ever tried Rub ‘n Buff? What do you think of it? I have a list of things I want to try it on. I always forget about it and am constantly reminding myself of it again. The pen with a hidden surprise These pens are wild fun! Most people don’t know the way they behave with water and a brush- secret tips + tricks! You can find some great videos online using them this way. I just made a silly mini demo video messing around doodling with them so you can see what they can do. Elegant Writer calligraphy pens are acid free and water based. They come in many tips sizes and even colors. Crisp chisel points for lettering but also super fun to draw and even paint with. Sketch out things before you paint or make beautiful handwritten letters and cards- so many options! I sometimes use them to sketch out a painting idea and do quick water sketches with them to see if I want to put something to canvas or not. These pens are $1.95 each or $7.45 for the 4 pack. We have all the sizes and some colors in stock. We have tons of calligraphy pens and a newly remodeled section where they all live. Nothing is quite like these pens though. They’re one of a kind, and wild. They often remind me of those old ink-in-a-bottle pencils with their soluable lines of blue tones and the delicious inky washes you can do with them. Elegant writers are surprisingly fun and they make an easy tool to loosen up with. Sometimes I use them to warm up and get my creative juices flowing for other projects. Have you ever tried them? What do you think about them?   Here's some goofy videos I made playing around with them to show you some of the wild affects these pens have. They are so fun to work with in this way.
Scratch off coupons Scratch off coupon cards with every art store purchase. What discount will you win?  We started giving these out as a limited time promo when the art store opened back up for in-store shopping in July. They are so much fun! We just can't stop giving them out, haha.
Freebie coupon fun with every purchase- through the end of the year. Or maybe longer, if we just can't stop. We appreciate you shopping local with us and this is a fun way we can give back to you!  Pumpkin Posca Paint PensSay that fast five times! I can't believe it is mid November. So many wild adventures that this year has held. I've always preferred to focus on being thankful rather than complaining, because I find more strength in that approach. Gratitude has been taken to entirely new levels for me this past year. Sure, there are tons of crazy things to be stressed about or concerned on that are often so loudly in my face. The challenge of focusing on the positive and finding the hidden things to be thankful for is inspiring to me. It is akin to smearing paint pigments across blank surfaces, full of wonder & curiosity at where the bold colors will lead and what brush strokes will stand out after the paint has dried. What remains after the pain is gone defines adversity to me as much as the perseverance it takes to get through it does. Gratitude is multi-layered with levels and depths that go far beyond the expression of words, or pigments. I keep editing this thank you card post, but it keeps getting longer with every edit because another layer catches my eye. I just want to take the time to properly thank you for being there for us. Thank you- for not only shopping local with us, but for showing me the layers of gratitude this year that I have never seen before. Your support and encouragement has taught me so much during these difficult times. It keeps all of us going here, every single day. In the midst of challenges like unexpected major electrical upgrades needed to run a new saw and a leak in our roof that took out the shop heater, it has been challenging to keep a level head or think straight most days. There is always so much more to be thankful for than complain about though. Gratitude is so grounding. It is so humbling, and simple. One of the biggest things I am thankful for here, that keeps me going most days, is how much we can help other people. Artists have a profound impact on our communities, so the opportunity to serve artists is something that inspires me every single day. From the minute to the major- both have the same depth. Selling a single eraser, an easel, or nothing at all, just problem solving with an artist- it all means so much to us. Every one of those is something that I'm thankful for because it continues the sustainability of our small business. It means we can continue to take care of our staff and help our community in numerous ways. Not gonna lie, all of those things have almost brought me to tears many times this past year. Small things matter as much as big ones, especially in times like these. A smile, kind word, or shout out can do as much for a small business as dollars can. A sale of $1 can have the same impact as a $100 sale. You never know when your enthusiasm or creativity can spark someone else's and give them fuel to get through their day. All the little things we do create big impacts we may not ever see. Shopping local with us supports our amazing staff & their families, teachers, parents, artists of all ages, and tons of organizations doing great things in our community. It is humbling to think of how far the ripples go out from our little business and the impact we can have on others around us. This is what keeps me going when times get rough. I am incredibly thankful for the support of our community in the midst of challenges that try to knock me down. I choose to focus on what's beyond them- with a heart full of thanks, to each one of you. Your love and support of this small business stretches so far out into the community. The impact we can make together inspires and fuels me daily. Thank you! Thank you for keeping us here this year. Thank you for hanging in there with us through all the wild changes and challenges that this year has brought. We truly would not be here, or be the same, without you! I hope that each of you finds gratitude in the midst of life's challenges that is as rich and as highly pigmented as the one you have brought me and my staff this year. It is impossible to tell you how much that truly means to us. Be well, stay safe, and keep making lots of art! The world needs it now more than ever.

Order at the Bar & let us serve youIn our remodel of the shop most things are available to shop independently but some things are now “order at the bar.” We are still working on creative ways to make this more fun and easy. We have visual “menus” to shop from and price lists that help you see options available behind the bar. While this may feel different or strange at first, I promise we can make it fun! We are always happy to help you find exactly what you want and give you the time and space to look through things on your own. So don’t let our new set up make you feel any different- we are here to serve you up quality art supplies, at great prices. If you haven’t had a chance to visit us in person yet here’s some pictures so you can see what I mean. Keep reading to find out what items are available at the bar, why we did it, how it works, and our long term plans in the new set up.  Items Available “behind the bar”: bulk sketchbooks, bulk paper deals & reams, bulk palettes, handmade papers, stretcher bars, canvas, wood panels, bulk class pack supplies, easels, bulk backing boards, tracing paper rolls, acetate & duralar, colored paper rolls, and basically all the usual things we had hiding here in our caverns of a back room.  How it works: Top selling items we have easy to use menu samples that are visual and easy to use. Like a spinner of palettes to order from. Canvas we have a basic line up of sizes to help you see them for reference. We have tons more sizes available that we are happy to pull out for you and a price list to order from like a menu. We have clipboard menus of all handmade paper samples and bulk ream papers to flip through so you can see all the options behind the counter. (Similar to the same way you used to flip through sample books for wallpapers, haha) Other items we like to work personally with you on, like a waitress/waiter would, to determine and narrow down options closer to what you’re looking for and then we bring up all the options you may like. We have order desks placed between our register stations so you aren’t waiting in line the same. The info/order desks are reserved for more personalized service and problem solving. Want to see all of the sizes of canvas we have available? We gotchu! Want to pick our brain on varnish issues or pigment questions? We gotchu! Have a class you need a ream of paper for and not sure what one you need? We gotchu! Mindfully placing these order desks create space for helping you in a more purposeful way than in the middle of the aisles amidst other shoppers. Having several places for this all along the bar also enables us to step back out of the way of traffic in the store to work with you one on one. Think of it like the help desk at a book store or library, same kind of concept. So, while it may seem weird or different, it’s actually a new and improved way to help you. Don’t be shy or feel weird about ordering things from behind the bar- we love serving your art supplies needs and helping answer any questions you have!  Why we did it- Well, first goal and priority is obviously keeping all shoppers and our staff safe during pandemic times. The wrap around bar has plexi glass between us, and we installed it in a way that is classy and doesn’t feel like some weird barrier. We have staff and customers that are higher risk so we have mindfully considered everyone’s safety in our remodel so that everyone can feel comfortable in our shop. We value all life and have worked very hard to create a safe and inspiring atmosphere in the shop for all. It may be weird times we are living in, but we can all work together and get through them. We prefer to focus on what we do best- helping you find the art supplies you need to keep you creating! So we have created our new set up to be fun and unique with everyone's safety and comfort in mind. Another good reason for this change is respect for the supplies themselves. Have you ever noticed dinged paper or dusty fingerprints on the paper you want? Have you ever noticed how stacking canvas is an art in itself and if it’s not done properly they can puncture & damage each other? These are all issues many do not consider that are daily tasks in the life of art supply store elves. Keeping some of these things in areas we service for you keeps everything in nice shape and eliminates many damages from happening. Creating the bar also feeds into some long term goals I have in the future. Creating this space lends to a better set up for demos, workshops, and other fun events. Believe it or not we used to have the same setup when I started working here, but I begged Bob for 3 years to rip out the counters on one side so we can let people shop down the aisles. I have to admit that considering building back counters in front of the aisles was not my first choice, haha. After much time and thought planning the safety of the shop in a pandemic I decided it was a wise move, and one with many options for the future. For now, it makes a wonderful way to keep staff and shoppers safe- but in the long term, it lends to some fun opportunities we have never had here and I’m excited about the journey ahead of fine tuning the design on this new set up. So instead of being sad you’re not able to go down the aisles anymore, be excited with us as we reinvent many aspects of the shop that I think you’ll end up loving. Moving the entire frame shop to the other location has also presented many challenges as we are still moving some large fixtures over there when we can. Some items currently behind the bar will be more accessible to you as we move large furniture to the other location. We also have several online shops and having the aisles behind bar to organize our online orders has been important. The paper aisles simply aren’t set up the way you might remember them as we use the space differently during these strange times. Thank you for your patience with us as we adapt and adjust to new ways of operating. We take everyone’s safety seriously and we are also looking ahead to future goals as we reinvent the space here. We are always open to comments and suggestions on how to do things better too! If you have any good feedback on how our Order at the Bar works or doesn’t work, for you please don’t hesitate to let me know. Bulk Bargains galore! Having adequate organization on all of our bulk deals and bargains has been helpful on restructuring the shop. Makes things easier to find & shop for staff and shoppers alike. I know this has been a longer article but I think it’s important to explain these changes so you know what to expect in the shop and more of the reasons why we have things set up the way we do right now. Here are some fun before & after pics for you of the space.
In-Store Shopping  After 490 days of operating solely on curbside pickups and deliveries, we have reopened our Art Supply Center for in-store shopping. We are dedicated to keeping our shops safe for both staff and customers. We have many Covid safety protocols you can learn more about here. We also have safety measures we will be taking for in-store shopping that will help us maintain our goals and do our part keeping Portland healthy. Find more details about in-store shopping here. Some important things to note: 👉🏼Limit to 10 people at a time in the shop 👉🏼Masks are required inside, regardless of vaccination status. 👉🏼 Sidewalk Sale outside, weather permitting. 👉🏼 Order ahead pickups & deliveries still available. 👉🏼ALL custom framing is By Appointment at our Laurelhurst location on Ash st. DIY frame kits, hardware, and pre-cut mats are still available at Foster but all framing staff is at the frame shop. We have worked so hard these past months on a major remodel of the shop. We have deep cleaned the whole place, moved almost everything around, built new things, fixed old things, and really opened up the space. I'm excited to show off all of the things we've been working on behind the scenes while we did the shopping for you. I have lots of exciting news to share soon, so stay tuned for more details in my upcoming posts. Many things in our remodel have been carefully thought out for future ideas and dreams as well as mindfully setting things up in a manner to keep all staff working through the pandemic and make the shop more safe for shoppers. Are you not sure about in-store shopping yet or playing it extra safe in the pandemic? We totally understand and can appreciate that!! Let us do the shopping for you. We will be keeping all of our online order options and still doing curbside pickups & deliveries within 5 miles of the shop. I am excited about the creative use of our new ordering systems making in-store shopping easier and quicker. It is a great way to order ahead the things that you really need and stay in your budget. If you order a pickup and want to peek around when you get here, it is an easy way to do that and still be able to grab-n-go at anytime, knowing that your art supply list is already taken care of. We are always happy to do the shopping for you, just like we have been for the last year+! Feel free to do a combo of online orders and in-store shopping anytime you want. Please do leave us enough time to shop for you and process your order before you arrive. Calling or texting in orders are another way to shop ahead when you know you are coming in soon. It feels so great to finish up our remodel and have y'all back in to visit. It's been fun seeing familiar faces and catching up the last few weeks, it feels pretty epic. If we weren't still in a pandemic, I'd throw a big party, but we can still celebrate in small mini ways. We have survived an insane year+ and we truly would not be here without every single one of you. Thank you for keeping us around! If you have ordered from us this past year and a half- THANK YOU!! You have no idea how deeply thankful we are for your loyal support! Your amazing orders and encouragement have literally kept us working and moving forward through the hardest of days. We simply would not have made it without every single one of you. Please be sure to connect with me and let us know when you stop by. I'm in awe that we have not laid any staff off and have been able to keep serving our community in creative new ways. I look forward to doing many more years of that! We are still in a pandemic, unfortunately. So please bring your masks for inside the store. We are dedicated to keeping our stores safe for everyone. Thank you for respecting other people's space and practicing social distancing while in our shop. Our remodel will hopefully make this easier. Some items are now "order at the Bar" and we have creative menus and ways to easily see the options available for the products behind the bar. This keeps my entire staff working safely and makes the flow of the store more open to shop. As always- - - Stay healthy, be safe, and keep making lots of art!! We love y'all!! Want to Order Ahead?

I'm a huge sucker for videos and pictures of factories. It must be the production worker in me that just loves looking at the process and creativity used by both machines and people to create things in mass quantity. Someday I will tour General Pencil's factory but for now I will swoon over the pics and videos I can see on it from far away. There is a NY Times article from a few years ago that has incredibly beautiful pictures from the factory. I'll admit, I have had the tab on my computer open with it for far too long. If I am having a hard day or just need a cheerful pickup I will go gaze at the scrumptious pictures in that article. The button at the end of this links to the NYT article. It will likely inspire you to scroll through the pics over and over again yourself.
There is something I have always loved about factories in general, but factories of art supplies are even more exciting to me. Be still my heart! I love machines, tools, and factory floors full of products being created. It's fascinating to watch the people making the products, and see how they each bring them to life using all the tools and machines. Of course, being the production girl that I am, I also sometimes wonder how fun (or not) it is to fix those machines when something goes wrong. What kind of maintenance does the pencil point sharpening machine require? Am I the only one that wonders these weird things? haha. The mechanics of it all are as beautiful to me as the final product. General Pencil is one of the first pencil factories in the USA and has been operating since the late 1800's. They still make drawing pencils, charcoal pencils, erasers, sharpeners, masters brush soap cleaners, and many other "classic" art supplies you likely already own. General Pencil is now one of the last pencil factories in the USA. They are celebrating Artists, Art Teachers, & Artisan Pencil Makers as General Pencil Company looks ahead another 125 years. See Portrait Artist David Kassan sketch a live charcoal portrait at the General Pencil Factory in Jersey City, NJ with Dickinson High School Art Students several years ago in the video below. We stock most all of General Pencil's product line and the ones we do not stock you can special order in our Catalog Shop Online Here.
