 been in the store lately,

what to expect.

 A little bit of everything!

There's a lot of art - (ready to be made, for inspiration, & for sale) here!

Pastels

Winsor Newton is discontinuing thier line of Soft Pastels.

I am asking all my Pastel customers which Pastel line I should carry.
So far, I hear NUMEROUS answers!
I am waiting until there is a general consensus, (so let me know what you think!) but in the meantime, I thought I'd mention that the

Winsor Newton Pastels are at a 25% discount off of the list price right now,

until they are gone.

ALSO if you haven't heard about the Pan Pastels, I do have some of them in the store,

there are some really wonderful instructional videos on line that you might enjoy.
