Stocking serious studio materials from classic European makers, this specialist shop supplies artists with hand-crafted Michael Harding oil colours, cadmium-free Abstract heavy body acrylics produced in Brittany, and Sennelier ink brush pens alongside wide selections of brushes, paint supplies, and Posca markers. Pen enthusiasts will also spot official All Blacks edition Faber-Castell E-Motion writing instruments. It suits practising painters, printmakers, and illustrators after high-pigment, filler-free mediums where true colour saturation and archival durability matter to the finished canvas.
Customers praise the extensive inventory and often highlight staff who go well out of their way to track down specific supplies, though feedback on service on the floor can be mixed depending on how busy the store gets. Pricing draws split opinions too, with some finding it very fair for specialised gear and others noting premium tags. Located at Unit 9, 16 Taylors Road in Morningside, the store is open seven days a week: Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, Saturday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
