Art Supply Shopping Cart

You can now go online at http://www.dickblick.com/ , then click on Blick U, then click on Tennessee in the dropdown menu, then click on CHET in the second dropdown menu to find a shopping cart of supplies that I recommend. Of course, you can still purchase supplies elsewhere if you wish, but at least you can get some idea of what items I have in mind. . Please remember, there are other items not in the shopping cart, i.e. mineral spirits , tape, baby wipes etc. These can be purchased much cheaper at Walmart.
