Very good experience, I’m new to painting model vehicles and stopped by to pick up paints for my tanks. When I was readily to check out the staff pointed out to me that I had two paints that couldn’t mix very well together, which was very helpful especially since I am new to painting stuff. Glad I came to this store, and will definitely be back.

I had the pleasure of visiting Blick Art Materials while looking for supplies to surprise my son, who loves to draw. I’m not an artist at all, so I honestly had no idea what to get. Tessa was in the middle of stocking but still took the time to stop and help me, which I really appreciated.
I can be pretty indecisive, but she was patient, asked all the right questions, and helped me stay within my budget while still picking out really good quality materials. That meant a lot to me. Customer service is a big deal when it comes to where I spend my money, and she definitely made this a great experience.
My son ended up loving everything, and she even went the extra mile to check me out quickly since I was in a rush. Thank you for the great service and support. I’ll definitely be back.

Stopped in to get a frame and was helped by Jeremy. He was so helpful and patient as we looked through various frames together. He even helped me put the wire on the frame. Glad I went into the store instead of trying to order online!
