Please Note:
- Some links to pages on the Dick Blick Catalogue contain more than one than one variation of a product (eg different sizes, styles, colours etc). Make sure you scroll down the Dick Blick catalogue page and choose the size or style indicated here on this page.
- Sizing standards differ worldwide. The exercises in the course are mainly based on using sheets of paper which are A4 sized (210mm x 297mm). Where possible we have linked to the nearest sized equivalent in the Dick Blick Catalogue. The important thing to note about paper is that you should always make sure that whatever paper you buy for use during the course, it must fit in your scanner, or you should trim it to fit.
- Dick Blick is based in the USA. For those outside of the USA Dick Blick charges for international freight. Their prices for art materials are generally very good though and often heavily discounted so that might help with the cost of freight if you are outside the USA.
If you have any questions about purchasing art supplies please feel free to ask your Instructor for advice.
