We had no idea what the hell we were buying and although we got different tips. Thin, medium, and thick they all seemed the same to us. Clearly it was our first time spray painting it's so hard! We were able to compare the Home Depot spray cans to theirs and that's the one thing that stood out , theirs is by far better quality paint! They have such a large selection of spray cans I was impressed. We will return. Fck childhood cancer!

Their options seem unlimited! Every time I come here, I end up spending my time going up and down each aisle. It's also very quality art supplies. They offer different art classes as well which I believe they hold in one of the stores walking distance from them. They have a list of their upcoming classes and events posted on the board next to the entrance. All their workers are friendly and helpful to any questions you might have. For the quality of the supplies, it's a great price.

My wife's an artist and has only painted with oils but is now learning to use water colors. She's been stocking up on supplies here and is very happy with the products.

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.

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!

Top's Art Supplies is a family-owned Korean art supply shop in Koreatown that has been in operation…read moresince 1987. While the shop is small, they stock all of the essential art supplies (brands like STABILO, POSCA, and DecoColor) so customers can be more intentional with what they want to buy. The store requires ID checks for paint marker purchases. In addition, the shop also carries a large selection of Asian art materials for calligraphy (e.g., square paper, calligraphy brushes, calligraphy books, ink stones, black sumi ink, brush hangers, etc). Apparently students from USC who take calligraphy courses come here to purchase their supplies. Overall this is a decent shop for anyone looking to restock art supplies or buy calligraphy materials. P.S. - There is metered street parking in front of the store, but there are also few free designated parking spots behind the shop. P.P.S. - Check the website to see which supplies are currently on sale.

Shorthand is a stationery shop located in Highland Park. This is one of several cards & stationery…read moreshops on York Blvd (including Crush & Touch locating right next door). Currently Shorthand has 3 locations - Highland Park, Larchmont Village, and San Anselmo. This Highland Park location is the flagship location. [Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers greeting cards, pens, notebooks, pen, pencils, gift wraps, etc. I like the greeting card selection a lot better at Shorthand, but I didn't see too many Valentine's Day cards. The shop was a lot more colorful than Crush & Touch as Shorthand organized pens and pencils by color. They also sell really neat hand drawn Highland Park and Eagle Rock maps. The shop also sells various colors of ribbon per yard and gift wrap. Each color of ribbon has a slightly different price. I actually got a red tight weave ribbon for $1.75 per yard and the staff even gave me a slightly extra length. [Gift Wrap Service]: Customers can purchase gifts in store or bring them in from elsewhere. In general, regular (one sheet) = $8, large (two sheets) = $14, and extra large (three sheets+) = $20+. [Conclusion]: A really cute stationery shop with all the supplies for gift wrapping.
