Three ways professional artists save money on materials


Maximizing savings is really important for anyone, and the art world is no different. When it's easy to find mass produced items in any shop, custom and artisan made items have to compete somehow. Reducing costs is an option, but how to do it without reducing quality? The reason people go for the bespoke items is because they not only support an individual and not a big business but they have an extra layer of quality that isn't found in the cheap stuff. Professional artists don't cut corners when it comes to materials but they use their brain when it comes to finding the right supplier.


The first method, is they find someone prepared to sell things at a discount. Online sellers are a great place to start as they don't always have other overheads you may find with a shop on the street, many online places will make their site look extra special and put a few percent on their stuff for the pleasure, so always watch for this. Shop around until you find the best prices.


The second technique is to buy in bulk, investing in yourself is worthwhile when the savings add up to so much. Even if you don't intend to sell your work, many art materials can still be stored easily out of the way so saving money on your hobby isn't going to hurt either. Think about all those times you've bought a new box of paints, or a new pad. For people who sell art, making an extra profit by saving big time on their resources when buying in bulk, this is an essential part of their work.


Thirdly, the savviest of all the artists keep an eagle eye out for special deals. The branded products are all the same, no matter where you get them from, no matter how they are presented. What you get in the packet is the same as anywhere else and so its a must to make use of special deals here and there which give you an extra hand up when it comes to getting what you need.


All this can be hard work, and so here's some help to get you started.


Artists can hit all three targets right now with these art retailers.


Discount School Supply provide for teachers, parents, and artists in the USA. They sell all sorts of educational materials, and this includes an entire stock of art materials. As their name implies, their products are sold at the best possible prices and often carry branded names so it's safe to say you'll get what you expect.


For UK artists, Great Art are pretty much the same thing. They don't really go down the school road but they make up for it with an excellent catalogue of art materials, and help. It's also designed to give the best possible value and they really know the score when it comes to quality and desirability.
