Question for art students/painters.. cheap art supply

[Shelly21]

Title says it all....

Anyone knows where I can get cheap arcrylic paints and canvases on line?

The local school here (VCU) is a known for its art program and thus, the art supply stores around here jack up their price.

I used to get Winsor & Newton paint for about $2.95 a tube back in Ohio, around here it's over $4 and some are $5 (dunno why they charge different price for different colour).

I use Dick Blick stuff from their local store.

Yeah I love Dick Blick.

I used to shop at their Dearborn store. But there isn't one around here.

No idea, but if you find out tell me. I spent upwards of $200 on a painting course this past semester.

if you have a Michaels nearby, they regularly advertise 40 and 50% off coupons (usually for 1 item), but you can get a fist full of these coupons and go multiple times.

er... I type this in www.dickblick.com without even search for it.

Simple as that... looks like they do online orders and free shipping over $200.
