Canadian art supplies go back a long way? It all began in the late 19th century, when photographers and other artists started experimenting with different forms of media. From oil paints to chalk and more, Canadians have been creating beautiful artwork for many years. We still have a thriving art community. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, you'll find many of the materials and tools you need to create beautiful masterpieces.
From oil paints to watercolours and charcoals, Canadian art brings many products that an artist needs. It is important to build our Canadian made art supply community. If you know of any that can be contributed please pass the information along. Your local artists will appreciate it.
