Artists always need supplies to do their work. They acquire the necessary items in specialty stores or art and craft shops. Painters will get oil paints, brushes and canvas through local suppliers. Leather workers may find punching tools. Sculptors generally must order their stone directly from quarries, but this is an exception to finding readily available art supplies locally.
