We keep some kids’ project
kits near the front of the store. But otherwise, the child’s version
of product is in the same department with the adult’s.
Why?
Because age in our business
isn’t necessarily counted in years. Lots of adults find a child’s
set of pan watercolors is sophisticated enough for them. And some children
paint so proficiently that they now use professional grade paper.
Our sales staff will help determine
where you are on the learning curve & what materials are the best
for you.
