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 and Gamblin products are 20% off every day (that includes Acrylics, mediums, QoR watercolors, PanPastel, Gamblin Artist oil colors and mediums). Our full lines of Princeton Velvetouch and Aspen brushes are 50% off list every day. When possible, supplies are purchased at a discount and the savings are 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 also offer a 10% discount for students, teachers, and members of our local art groups to help with costs.

Who’s behind Art Paint Draw?

My name is Amy and I am a lifelong artist. I worked for 15 years as a self employed metalsmith in the San Francisco Bay Area before escaping to the desert of Northern Arizona for good in early 2020. 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 starting as young as 16 when I went to Greenfield Community College in Western Mass and got a surprisingly excellent foundation in art education. I have found that all art disciplines benefit from a strong foundational core of drawing and design, which is why I have decided to focus on these basics at Art Paint Draw. The goal is to create a space to support the local arts community in the Verde Valley. We are a true family business and you will likely find me working along side my husband and teenagers, who will all bring something unique to our growing business.
