I don't use acrylic or oils, but he also carries them and canvases. Great shop and a sweet owner who feels like family when you step in. He always gives you a discount, so that makes it even nicer.

Despite the website always saying somethings on sale when its the exact same price it is all the time when its not on sale. If not for the staff is give no stars to be blunt.

I have been taking watercolor classes for a couple of years…read more My teacher, an accomplished fine artist, recommended Blick and another store in Westminster as good sources for supplies. Every time I visit, the staff has been very helpful. When I am wandering around, someone always approaches me to see if I need any help. There is so much merchandise, it's great to have staff to assist the customers in finding the items on their list. I have bought materials for watercolor, drawing, and journaling classes. They even sell skeins of yarn that I've bought for my crochet class! Blick offers a student discount. This past weekend, I took advantage of their Fall sale and online coupon. I actually spent less than I saved! Great store with knowledgeable staff and good parking.

I was greeted by the cashier and also by another staff lady while I was browsing in the aisles. The store itself is nicely organized and if you test any of their pens, pencils, or anything like that, they have a separate tray where you can place them. I'm thinking they probably do a sanitize thing with them, which is cool. I will have to stop in again sometime!

It was AI generated and would not let me upload the photo I had so I couldn't complete the review. Now I know why most of their items don't have reviews.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, I found myself circling the parking lot for almost 30 minutes before getting lucky enough to get a tight cramp spot. The store is located to the left side of the super market. They had an assortment of pens, notebooks, and art supplies. I was able to get some goodies from here. Again, the store can be cramped, a little warm, and hectic, but you walk out with really good finds. I feel their price point is pretty reasonable, and their selection is great considering the size of the store. Staff is nice and seems helpful. Overall, cute Japanese stationery store to visit for all your stationery needs whether you're a seasoned artist or beginner. They have everything for everyone. My favorite was their journal selection, they had many good brands from Campus to Midori. I'm sure you will find something here.

Ah yes, the Blick where you wait 15 minutes for an employee restocking one pen cabinet to unlock…read morethe pen cabinet you actually need -- and when you finally ask him for help, you get a "whaaat?" Dude, I'm not staring at pens like a Van Gogh. I want to buy something. Then you ask a question and get a curt, unhelpful answer. After finally getting the markers, I went to grab a canvas and was told the markers would be taken up front for me. Maybe that's store policy, but the way it was handled made me feel like I was being treated as though I might steal them rather than like a customer who had just waited 15 minutes to buy them. Then the same employee who took 15 minutes to help me asked me to move out of the aisle because he'd decided that was the moment to move a large item through it. And finally, at checkout: "Hope your project goes well." Project. I'm not a student. I'm an artist buying art supplies. Maybe nothing was meant by it, but by that point it was a fitting end to the experience. Just generally a meh visit and another example of customer service being lackluster. I don't need anyone to roll out a red carpet -- I'd just like to feel like a customer rather than an inconvenience.

They make our world more beautiful in every possible way, and this store celebrates that spirit.

On to today, We were greeted with a friendly hello by team members at the cashier area. As we were lookin through the novelty area, we were asked was there anything that we needed, we smiled and said thank you, no. Two minutes later, there were associates hovering around us as if we were going to scurry away with the miniature animals and or the pocket sized note pads. It was totally obvious that they were suspicious of us, and that made me feel completely uncomfortable. Because there are several items listed on my list to purchase for a few privately taught students, I felt as though my money would be better spent elsewhere. There is an atmosphere of "unwanted" in this specific location, I felt it before but ignored it. This time I cannot, therefore I will not return nor recommend it to friends, family or social media. Corporate, please find a better way to police your customers, not one "group" but all who enter.
