Thanks for your intresting comments...Hi Magdalena.<br /><br />Thanks for your intresting comments about art prices. I know there are huge variations among countries but didn't realise Australian prices were quite so high. <br />Jacksons are a great source for someone like yourself as you don't pay VAT and carriage is at cost. Mail order is the cheapest way to buy in the UK but I'm awaiting the ramifications of Brexit where I suspect prices will rise sharply.<br />Large art supply shops are not that common. The problem is that prices are much higher than the mail order people.<br />Peter Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451951778074071828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-451966821407240822021-02-09T19:17:35.367-08:002021-02-09T19:17:35.367-08:00On seeing the range of prices of the full pans fro...On seeing the range of prices of the full pans from Greenleaf Blueberry I had to laugh at your comment 'these paints are for millionaires...' Peter you'd have a heart attack if you had to buy watercolour supplies from Australia (where I live)!! You wouldn't be able to afford to paint - I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to paint IF I had buy my watercolour supplies from Australia as EVERYTHING is at the very least double the price of supplies from the UK...<br /><br />The only way I can afford to paint with watercolours is by buying my supplies from the UK - chiefly Jacksons and Ken Bromley... the shipping is peanuts compared to how much money I save by buying from the UK. The price of Greenleaf Blueberry fulls pans is about the same price we'd pay for W&N full pans here in Brisbane, Australia... Sable brushes are 4 times the amount I'd pay in the UK, watercolour paper is again ⅔ dearer here than from the UK. From where I'm sitting those of you in the UK are very lucky that your art supplies, compared to ours, are MUCH cheaper AND you also have such a vast range to choose from. One day my dream is to go and visit all the wonderful art supplies shops you have over there....Magdalena Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966806055991741045noreply@blogger.com
