Blick Art Materials

I love this place and the staff is always kind and ready to answer any questions. Always stoked with supplies and adding new merch. Always a kid at a candy store mentality when I walk in. :)

Very nice and helpful staff but the prices are ridiculous. Paid $ 21 for 8 Sakura pens. The same pens are $ 6.99 on Amazon! Their sketchbooks are also way overpriced. If you’re willing to wait a day or 2 for shipping you’re definitely better off.

The staff is always friendly, knowledgable and helpful! The store has a wide variety of supplies at reasonable prices.

Found all I needed and then some! Only issue I have is their selection of calligraphy pens.
Make sure you take advantage of their student discount! Great for any CSUF or FJC students in the area.

Really helpful staff. However: there is a poor selection of items and the prices are just a tad over ridiculous.

This Fullerton Blick is the most unwelcoming art store I have ever been too. The customer service is annoying and horrible. The cashier (shelby?) was pestering me my entire visit. If came off like she thought I didn’t know what I was doing. Her gross voice was ringing in my ears. But hey that shouldn’t reflect on the store. One of the «managers» is simply heartless. I think her name started with a J. She didn’t want to hear anything I was saying and brushed off the whole transaction like nothing. I didn’t feel like a customer, I felt like a number. It’s dark in the store too, down the drawing aisle I always feel like I’m blinded by that one light shining down it. Blick is Pasadena is waaay better. And the employees in Pasadena are actual artists, unlike this Fullerton location. This one employee was trying to help me in their sad «sculpture» aisle. He didn’t know a thing about clay and pretended like he did. Bunch of horrible people working here. AND the store is waaaaay too small.

I had the same issue as Katie G. The website prices don’t match their store prices. Their reasoning is that the difference is the «potential» shipping charge that I would have incurred. However, let’s say I buy paint in store at $ 8, the online price might be $ 6. So if I wanted to buy in bulk I might have incurred $ 2 per tube if I bought it online? Of course not. The shipping would have been inclusive. This is bad business policy. Either make them online-​only prices or match the web prices like you claim to do. Until then I will shop elsewhere

Like store but I don’t like that they don’t charge the same as their own website :(That seems like a really odd arrangement

This is my go to shop for all my art supplies! They have everything I need including good prices on oil paint and canvases. Staff is all artists and are really nice and helpful.

Derek helped me find everything on my class syllabus and was incredibly helpful! As a non art major the required materials were quite daunting but he helped me find everything required and explained what all of the items would be used for. Such helpful staff! Certainly worth the drive!

i always get super excited to go in here because of all the stuff they have, but it is pretty much the same price as michaels. they also have good staff whos friendly, Im just gonna go to ASW and fulfill my role as a struggling artist

I am so fed up with Blick. This art store used to be Utretcht, they used to offer 10%-15% off for art students, you simply had to state which art school you attended or that you were in an art program at Cal State Fullerton or whatever. Then they opened it up to 10% off to anyone with a preferred card. They used to carry an array of good paints and surfaces and materials, I personally loved to get my Rembrandt paints there and their regular utretcht canvas panels were well manufactured and really affordable. Then Blick took over. Soon I could not purchase Rembrandt paints in store, I had to order them online. About two months ago I realized that there was no longer a discount when I swiped my preferred card. When I asked the cashier they told me that they no longer offer the discount but instead offer a web match rebate… from Blick’s website… from a Blick owned store where Blick controls the prices… Today I went in to get one of the cheap panels that I love, only to not be able to find them. Instead they had stacks of multiple panels from Blick, you could not get them individually. I again asked the cashier, «oh I think we’re getting rid of those and trying to bring in Blick’s brand of panels» :/​I also noticed prices on things went up a couple dollars all around the store. And the mailed in coupons I would get twice a month that used to say 20%-40% off of one non sale item have now turned into: 20% off entire purchase of $ 50 or more. What a joke. So much for having an art store close by… I feel so bad for the art students around here. Makes more sense to go all the way out to Westminister to Art Supply Warehouse…

cute little art store. Very organized with great friendly staff. My only thing about coming here is that their prices are definitely more than other places. I think this place is more expensive than Michaels and ASW (these 2 are closer in price). Some of the stuff I found at ASW is at least 50 cents cheaper than here. Some stuff can be found a 2 – 3 bucks cheaper than here. They do have some stuff that ASW doesn’t have, but more expensive. Price is important to me. I heard there is a price match system through online search if you have a membership card and mailing list with coupons. I dunno if that system really picks up the cheapest price.

I am a professional artist. I love your Fullerton store! The customer service is amazing. I am always greeted as I walk in the door, taken to exactly what I need, the store rep, got everything down off the shelf for me, and carried it to the checkout. The prices are matched to their superior website, which I always use when I have advance notice, but when I don’t, this store rocks. When artists can be served by fellow artists, who know what they are talking about, it makes buying supplies easy and quick, and I can get back to painting.

Always a super helpful staff! This is a bit smaller store footprint than the Pasadena location, but very well stocked. We come here once a month or so and always stock up. There are plenty of supplies to help inspire and feed your creative urges. The last time I was here, I bought a brush-​style stylus to use with my iPad. Love it!

Came to this store to purchase some Montana Gold spray cans and was helped by a lovely, young lady with black hair. She was really nice and offered help numerous times around the store, never too pushy or bothersome while I took my time rummaging through everything.
While I will say that I couldn’t find all the colors I intended to purchase at this location, and did end up driving a little further to the Blick in Pasadena that had a much larger selection. But parking in downtown Pasadena is stressful!
The prices in the store were higher than what was posted on their website, but given the nature of the spray cans being aerosol, I was advised that the end cost to purchase online and ship via ground would be more. Thus, being my first time in the store the nice sales associate helped me out and found an applicable 15% coupon. I also recommended joining their mailing list as I’ve received coupons since signing up.
Dick Blick, you are a good man!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BLICK STORE THERE IS! Every employee was asking me how I was doing persistently and I really enjoyed that. Adam was very helpful as well as the manager. Adam helped me find the gesso I needed and the correct amount as well. I will be continually coming here for my art supplies! I got a steal on their clearance and museum stretched canvases! I’m so happy and I spent only $ 48.15 for the price of one canvas anywhere else. 48.15 for 2 gessos and one big museum stretched canvas! I can’t explain how much better it gets then that. I definitely recommend new coming and starving artist to come here because OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE YAAAY!!! IM SO HAPPY. Cries**** ps I feel retarded for posting this review on the Pasadena blick, because that place is a Damn mess compared to here!

Blick is a really well stocked art supply store. The staff is always friendly and they know their stuff. Took some brushes that I had in search of replacements and I found what I needed quickly and then some. I picked up a few canvases, some sketching pencils and a new sketch pad. Acrylics are reasonably priced as are the canvases. Brushes AOK I wish there were a bit more staple brands to chose from but really this is an excellent art store.

I’d love to give them a higher review, because the staff is so helpful and the store environment is so appealing, but the selection isn’t what it could be. I went there yesterday to but some Winsor Newton brushes — pretty standard brushes I’ve used for twenty years or so and they don’t carry them. They carry their own brand which are similar, but not quite up to the same standard. I’ve found this to be the case with anything they put their name on. They will carry some other brands as a token gesture, but will keep them in very limited quantities. I’ve been a professional artist for longer than I’d like to admit. If I’m looking to try new materials, I want to do it on my own terms, I don’t want to because I have no other choices.
Being pretty much equidistant from Blick and Art Supply Warehouse, I usually end up going to Art Supply Warehouse which I can’t stand. They have a superior selection, but the store depresses the hell out of me and the parking lot is a lot like a demolition derby.

Awesome Art Supply Store! I decided to take a beginners drawing class this semester. One of my friends recommended that I come here to purchase the necessities I needed for my class. If you live within a reasonable distance from this store, I would definitely give it a visit before going to the more known stores such as Michael’s and Joann’s.
The Best Part:
— Beyond excellent customer service, Definitely A++++. I walked in with a list of the things that I needed and one of the staff members walked me around the whole store helping me find everything I needed.
— Great selection.
— They offer a rewards card that will get you 10% off your purchase every time you use it. If you do not have the card on you, they can do a search with you number. You can also use it when making online purchases.
— Afforadable prices, especially for college students who are trying to save a buck or two.
— Staff is very knowledgeable. They were happy to answer all my questions and very helpful.
The Downfalls/​Turnoffs:
— None this time around!
