art supplies

[rachealb]

My son's birthday (14th) is coming up and he would like some art supplies, but the nicer ones are quite expensive. I am looking for Prismacolor and similar, colored pencils, pastels, charcoals, things like that. Also looking for a nice art desk or drafting table. Any suggestions?

I found my granddaughter an artist portfilo, a set of 12 artist sketch pencils that had different thickness of charcoal in nice metal container, a spiral 80 sheet sketch pad, a sharpner and some other odds and ins a Office Depot. They were all on clearance, total spent $10. There were other items like chalks, pastels and oils that I didn't buy for her.

 

Also, check out your local community college bookstore. The one I worked at had a clearance sale every year and the art supplies were up to 50% off.
