My top 5 places to shop for affordable art supplies
In my opinion art supplies don’t have to be expensive! Sure, you totally get what you pay for. but there are things you don’t need to spend an absolute fortune on, especially if you are just starting out.
Here are my go-to places to buy my art supplies!
Art 2 Arthttps://www.arttoart.net/
I am super lucky that I live in Adelaide and have access to this amazing store that is in walking distance so it makes for a super fun excuse to go for a walk! The product range is huge and they have a great selection of affordable products, but then work their way up to the top of the line materials too. If you don’t live in Adelaide you can shop online, they even offer free shipping over $100 within Australia. BOOM!
Riot Art & Craft https://riotstores.com.au/
I was so disappointed when these stores started closing in Adelaide but luckily they still have an online store! I love that they regularly have sales and offers so I always keep an eye out for products that I like to keep in stock at all times and then I stock up when they are on sale. I’m thrifty like that!
This store is dangerous for me. like seriously! I go in with no intention of buying a thing and come out with some beautiful diary or calendar that I really didn’t need.
BUT. on the plus side, they have such an amazing range of art supplies. They are definitely on the cheaper end, but for supplies like stencils, charcoals, pastels, I find them to be really great.
On my last visit I stocked up on their Kaisercraft paint tubes which were on special for 30% off. They are great for experimenting with techniques and playing around. If you are ready to get serious with your art you can always up your paint game with higher quality paints from either of my other recommendations above.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you about coming out with something you really didn’t need. The beautiful shiny things will get you!

FAQ
What art supplies do beginning artists need?
Start with a good all-purpose mixed media paper pad so you can try lots of different mediums and see which is your favorite.
An inexpensive set of drawing pencils and colored pencils are all you need to do just about anything in the world of sketching, or try a set of acrylic paints and brushes on canvas boards (cheaper than stretched canvas) to try your hand at painting.
