Art Supplies are expensive!

No question high quality art supplies are a financial investment. Professional and artist grade paints have more pigment, blend better and go further then student grade paints. That said We are doing what we can to keep prices competitive with what is online and in the big stores. All Golden products will be 20% off every day (that includes Acrylics, mediums, QoR watercolors, and PanPastel). When possible, supplies are purchased at a discount and the saving is passed on to our customers. If you don’t feel ready for professional art supplies, we carry a number of affordable student brands like Pro Arts and Art Alternatives. We are also offering a 10% discount for students, teachers, and members of our local art groups.

What if I need art supplies outside of your store hours?

Art emergencies can happen! If you need something outside of regular hours send a text/email or call and we will do what we can to get you what you need.

What kind of classes will you have?

We will be working with local artists to bring classes on a variety of drawing and painting techniques. The classroom will be set up and running in early 2025.

Who’s behind Art Paint Draw?

My name is Amy and I am a lifelong artist. I worked for 15 years as a metalsmith. I received my BFA from California College of the Arts and my MA in Art and Consciousness Studies from JFK University. I have taken art classes in many states and in many mediums. All art disciplines benefit from a strong foundational core of drawing and design. That is why I have decided to focus on these elements at Art Paint Draw and to create a space to support our creative community in the Verde Valley. Once the store is open you will find me working along side my husband and teenagers, who will all bring something unique to our new evolving family business.
