Art Store Tour Of Blick Art Materials In DC

Рет қаралды 15,025

This was the first real art store I had ever been in and they couldn't have been kinder! It was a great first art store tour!
Before this, all my art supplies were bought online; I started watercolor in 2021.
Blick Art Materials in DC was easy to navigate with a wheelchair.
There's a wheelchair lift right inside the front door.
Everyone in there was so kind; Mom and I had a grand old time looking around the entire store,
specifically at every single watercolor paint and paper. :)

Hi I'm Megan. I'm passionate about watercolor and helping people with my chronic health challenges by sharing what I'm learning.
I'm a photographer, artist, and designer living in the US. I design themes for Samsung Galaxy devices. I have always loved photography, and recently (May 2021) found watercolor because of health challenges (POTS). I discovered that watercolor is an art form I can do with wrist strength issues. I want to encourage you and show you what's possible. I hope my art will brighten your day.
Whether you have health challenges or not, I'd love to have you join me!

Yeah Blick (I will forever call it by Utrecht) has been around for decades. I love going there and first went there back in the late 90s. The staff is really friendly and you really can find any medium or brand.

Ooh interesting. So it used to be a Utrecht before Blick bought them out. Everyone was so kind there when I went too. Love to go back sometime ☺️

You have access to such a beautiful and large selection of art supplies in the US. In South Africa, our shops are not this big, with an obviously small selection of what they do have. I am thankful for what I can get, but as nothing is made in South Africa, it is really really expensive too. Even so, when I do enter the art shop, I get giddy, with excitement.

Loved this vlog, liked the fact that you have shown everything very patiently without running the camera or speeding up the video. I like watching these kind of art store walk through where we shouldn't have to pause at every product.. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this tour! ❤ Also, so nice to see you enjoying this.. Hoping to see more ✨💕

Forgot to mention my most favourite part is the paper section 😍 they have great variety of papers available in every format and sizes!! Wish I could find & be able to visit a store like this some day 💕

Oh, thank you! I’m always wanting people to slow down and take their time filming when I watch art store tours. So when I made this that was the goal, slow down and make sure people feel like they’re there in the store with me. I shot it in 60fps on my iphone and slowed it down to like 50-75% speed depending on how fast the footage was, and separated out the audio and manually edited it all. In the store I was not filming slowly, I was like, ooh, pretty, ooh, and it’s hard to slow down when you’re so excited. 😆 I would love to do more art store tours, they are all travel distance away, but when I’m near one again I’ll have go see it and film. ☺️ Oh the paper section! It was quite the isle, Mom and I went down it twice. I was so surprised at the size of the really big paper. I hope you are able to visit an art store someday soon, and that it’s filled with kind people like this one was. It was a great first art store tour. ☺️

Oh what a good idea! Like those movies where they camp out in a store and explore it once everyone leaves! Wasn't there an old Disney movie about that? There'd be plenty of art things to keep us busy for days...we just might need to bring food and tea. 😂

I'd have a tough time choosing, but watercolor paper is always the best answer. Can't have enough--the Hannemuhle book would be my pick.
