Pearl Paint

My friend told me about the other art store I really like in New Jersey. Pearl Paint is a huge art supply warehouse/supermarket with prices that are competitive with Utrecht (maybe even a little less expensive). They have some really nice creamy pastels (Caran d'Ache Neopastels) not available at Utrecht.

Utrecht Art

Utrecht Art is one of my two art-supply heavens. The main outlet in Cranbury, NJ is a gloomy warehouse. To access most of it their inventory, you give a list to the *one* person at the front desk.

In return for bringing your business to such an "uninviting" place, you get a broader selection and often much lower prices than at Michael's. Michael's prices are so high that for some items you need their 40-50% coupons to get prices competitive with Utrecht's non-coupon prices. That being said, I still buy materials from Michael's when I have the 40% coupons.
