Pastel Sales

I do not recommend any art supply warehouse as a favorite, but want to say when purchasing any items cost compare before buying. Also, find out if taxes are added to the purchase you're making and if an up-charge freight cost will be added. Most importantly, ask if the product is in stock and what the shipping date is along with the delivery date. Also, if you are ordering something by mail, don't order one thing at a time. Make a list and buy a larger quantity and ask if you can save even more money on sale items... Also if you have other warehouse art supply houses that you buy from, please pass that on to me so I can add them to the list.

* Note: Pastel Journal has a wealth of information regarding workshops, books, how-to pamphlets, and websites of artists who have and sell videos of this style of work. They also printed all of the major Pastel Society email and website addresses in Issue #30 February 2004 along with exhibitions strickly geared towards pastel artists. Also most of the major manufacturers of pastel products advertise in this magazine.
