Michelle B.

I came in briefly while shopping nearby. This is a stationary shop that is arranged beautifully by color. They have pens, pencils, inks, erasers, clips, papers, etc however!! I did not spot yearly planners (though perhaps this is because I came in during the month of June) or stickers beyond their free shop stickers. I did like how they sell individual clips for less than $1 as I tend to not use many so this is more economical for me.

The whole store is laid out by color

I was helped by Fernanda, who was so lovely and went out of her way to find me the perfect lined pad for every day use.

So, I came here to get some new art materials. well guess what.. THEY HAD NEEDOHS !!! lemme…read moreexplain. I came here to get some new markers and some sketch paper. Their selection was great ! As an artist myself, I think they had great materials! I love all the art in the underground parking lot and was pretty neat! Service was I went to the checkout and saw a squishy that caught my attention, then the cashier said they had needohs !! I immediately asked for him to show me, HE HAD THE MINI NEEDOHS !!! I asked for one and left. HIGHLY RECCOMEND !!!! (BTW the art materials were exactly what I needed)

Every brush here has more personality than most people on Melrose…read more In a city where every "artist" now thinks Procreate on an iPad counts as a medium, Blick Art Materials is one of the last true temples of real creation. Walk in here and you can smell the ambition, acrylic, and caffeine. It's like stepping into a time capsule where brushes still matter, ink still stains, and creativity doesn't come with a subscription fee. The value here and the prices were super reasonable. I came here with my draftsman, a guy who still draws by hand -- a dying breed in a world that runs on Ctrl+Z. Watching him walk these aisles was like watching a monk in a cathedral. Every shelf, every pen, every tube of paint is curated chaos. And the best part? The staff actually care. They know the difference between gouache and watercolor -- and they don't judge you for mispronouncing it. Friendly service, clean restrooms (a small miracle in Los Angeles), and a selection so deep it could inspire Picasso's ghost to start over. From sketchbooks to sculpting tools, markers to mat cutters, they've got everything you need to make something real -- or at least look like you tried. Blick's been around since 1911, and this Beverly Blvd location has kept L.A.'s art scene supplied through every phase -- from punk flyers to NFT hangovers. It's an institution, and it deserves to stay that way. Blick Art Materials is a love letter to real art in a copy-paste world. The service is friendly, the aisles are inspiring, and the supplies are top-notch. If you make anything with your hands, your heart, or even just a stubborn sense of nostalgia -- support this place. Because when shops like this vanish, so does a little bit of the soul of Los Angeles. Support this place -- or someday the only "art supplies" left will be ring lights. Blick is where real artists shop while influencers pretend to paint.

This is a neat little Art Supplies Store! If you are an Art Student or Teacher, come here with…read moreyour ID-- you get a discount. Everything in here is legit and you will be SO glad you found this little gold nugget. Skip any other art supply store-- this is where the Pros go. ;) The service was very easy going and helpful if I had any questions. Definitely a vibe for the Art crowd in this little store. It's a little store with MANY art supplies and niche tools, from pens, brushes to paints and canvases. A mini artist's paradise! The cost and value of all the tools and supplies in this store are fairly priced and even better for those who are students and teachers (discounts for them). I would recommend this spot to those who are serious artists and newbies looking to find the right art gear without guessing. Tip: Parking is street and neighborhood or the garage which is $3 for an hour. If you eat at Handels ice cream or one of the places nearby they comp your parking ticket which is cool too. Make a day out of it!

We succumbed to all the hype and went here for their big sale. But what I didn't realize is that…read more23% off is only for purchases over $50. The place is tiny and kinda spendy but clean & organized. Not as much dejection as I'd hoped. And we had to park around the corner. But I guess that's what it's like in Hollywood. I'm sure it's good for the neighborhood to have an art supply store there. **edit. I misread the flyer. I'm so sorry Blue Rooster.

Very disappointing experience. I placed my canvas order only yesterday afternoon , and by this…read moremorning it was already "finished." When I saw the work, I was shocked by how sloppy, rushed, and low quality it looked. This was not professional work and not something any business should hand to a customer. I explained that I was unhappy with the quality and asked for my money back because I could not use this canvas for my client. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they refused and kept saying, "This is how we do it," and that they already spent time, labor, and materials on it. They acted like there was nothing wrong with the work at all. What made the experience even worse was the attitude and disrespect. Instead of helping or apologizing, I was told to leave the store. I also took photos of the canvas so people can judge the quality for themselves. I would not recommend this place if you expect professionalism, quality workmanship, or respectful customer service.

"Paint it! Paint it black!!!"…read more My go to local small art supply, art gallery, art happenings and creative vibes stores. Carter Sexton Artist Materials is located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley within the Valley Village/Studio City area and resides on Laurel Canyon Boulevard/just a beat down from Chandler Blvd and the Laurel Canyon Metro Station for the Orange (aka G) line. It's got lots of fun nooks and crannies with great materials, supplies, service and sales (including 40% off, clearance items and more). It was easy for me to follow a lot of their played out pricing for canvas (10 years in retail, though it's been almost 10 years since I walked away from it and yet still retain so much lol). I ventured into the "Come (On) In" area and discovered some complimentary artist guides, incredible artwork and extra items I was seeking for a sketching event I hosted over the weekend. Love coming in on Saturdays, though it's been several months since I was last in, hoping to change that, check out more of their events, including some great some shows this holiday season like their Medley. I don't have much to submit by their deadline, but highly recommend you do if you're an artist, aspiring artist or creative. They definitely are neighborhood feel with some cool regulars. Caught some warming interactions and references to Cheers (the 80s to early 90s series) between the staff and a really nice returning customer. I'm not sure if Kelli was there when I stopped in, but I've had some greatest response with her in the past online when inquire about things. Everyone is super knowledgeable, mindful and respectful. Ready to assist, but also let you take your time exploring and feeling out all they have to offer. Street parking primarily with a 1hour limit from 8am to 6pm. Some limited spaces in their back alley parking, that I'm sure is super great for their staff/ the Carter Sexton family. Its first come first serve, but you might get lucky. Open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday weekly with some variations for holidays. A must whether a local, passing through or seeking out a small biz to support that does great things for the area, and showcasing a spotlights artists of all walks of lives and ages. Even Bob Ross on display wants you to check out this great supportive Art spot. "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."
