We have moved!
After ten glorious years in our increasingly-crowded store, Raw Materials Art Supplies moved to a new location! Located at 645 S. Los Angeles St., two blocks away from our original location, and at double the size, Raw Materials Art Supplies is bigger (and deffer).
In addition to expanding our existing selection of fine art and architectural supplies, we will be able to offer in-store classes, workshops, and product demonstrations! Check out our calendar of events for details on the exciting things we have lined up!

R&F Pigment Sticks: 15% off!
Pigment sticks are oil paints manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into a stick form, allowing the painter to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes or solvents. These are made in small batches, carefully milled and molded using beeswax and natural plant wax, linseed oil, and pigment, with no additives, extenders, substitutes or facilitators, allowing for a softer consistency and for greater film strength.
