Local art stores include:

Michaels (several locations in Reston and Sterling)
Plaza Arts

Listed below are some WEB stores. All of these are reliable. I would suggest that you ask them to send a catalog. (They may charge a cople of dollars if you haven't ordered, but it's a good deal easier than searching on the Web.)

 

www.utrecht.com --- 1-800-223-9132 - They have great brushes. See their #209 finest bristle brusnes line.

 

www.dickblick.com -- 1-800-447-8192 - deep discounts

 

www.danielsmith.net -- 1-800-426-6740 - expensive but fine quality. Ask for their catalog. It's informational and fun

 

www.jerrysartarama.com -- 1-800-827-8478 - similar to Dick Blick

 


Samples of some supplies I like:
