My father used to spend hours in hardware stores and I have inherited this tendency except that like all artists I love to browse in art supply shops. Nothing is better than having some new materials to play with.
In the States I love to visit Dick Blick and Pearl Paints, in Sydney, Oxford Art Supplies and there are several dens of temptation in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
Since moving to the country I have been a bit apprehensive about how I will source supplies. I can tell you that Dick Blick DOES ship to Australia and Melbourne Etching Supplies send parcels very efficiently and now I can recommend a new supplier. Art Materials Online is a Mornington Peninsula art supply company providing a fast and efficient mail order service and they stock my favourite Matisse Flow Acrylics. Check out their website.

Oh I've always wanted to be a published "deleter"! Susan, I am liking the way you are bloggin' - like a real pro with hyperlinks & an easy way of writing. That course is doing wonders because you are very professional. Will Dick Blick send me some pencils & a drawing pad I wonder? Hmmmm... Myself, I am nutso about stationery shops & papieries (?)
Jen, I think a lunchtime stroll to Eckersleys might do the trick. But beware art supply shops are wallet draining.
