Takes me a while to spell this sucker out to people when I am recommending the place to them, but after I get past the first few letters they usually know what I’m talking about, or if they don’t, I usually take them anyway.
Not really a kids art shop, but do have products for amateur and professional artists. The ranges of paint oil/​acryllic/​water are pretty good, and compared to buying them from overseas for those more professional painters have really comparable prices as well. The staff are really knowledgeable on the products and usually know exactly where they are kept.
It’s a very nice, clean, professional shop which I love because there is so much to use/​decide on and be creative with. Along with the branch they have in Milton, this place is the place to go to for your more quality paints and supplies.
They also have cool little art packs for kids.

This is the best art supply shop in Brisbane, and probably the only one i’ll be using from now on.
They have an amazing range of sketching pencils, papers, erasers… and charcoal. Oh, the beautiful charcoal. I want it all.
The staff are super friendly and although I went in pretty much knowing what I wanted, they were still up for talking drawing with me. Honestly I could have stayed all day.
It’s not the cheapest place, but really. you don’t want cheap art supplies.

My mum is an artist so plenty of my childhood was spent waiting in art supply stores while she had long, involved conversations with Eckersley’s staff. I still have a secret soft spot for those bag erasers that squish around in your fingers.
From her I can report that they stock a great range of very high quality goods. It’s service where they really excel, the staff are great with advice and will order in almost anything if they don’t have it on the shelf.
Sure, there’s probably cheaper stuff out there, but the quality will be cheaper too. If you’re serious about art you need to shop here.

For connoisseurs, fine artists and students alike
the doors of Eckerley’s are always alighted with glee.
I have come here to peruse/​exclaim/​drool over
a great number of things (and have walked out with some
pretty enviable purchases as well!)
This sprawling city store is absolutely crammed with
everything you could every possibly want in the world of art or craft.
From gorgeous thick paper stock, brilliant english brushes
and quality watercolour sets to calligraphy brushes, easels and children’s crafts
this fine store has you covered.
Many a time I’ve had to scout around
for some desperately needed art supplies.
So I can guarantee that this place is the best art supplier in the city.

Like most aspiring artists who tend to think about art as opposed to actually making art, I’m a notorious hoarder of art supplies.
Having scoured Brisbane and beyond looking for art equipment, I can confidently say Eckersley’s in the city has the widest range for painting, pastels and drawing. Their supplies are limited for sculptors and ceramicists but this tends to be a niche market anyway with their own suppliers.
Their craft section is surprisingly decent with a beautiful range of handcrafted paper. I ended up buying my wedding invitation paper here and attending one of their cheap card making workshops for inspiration. The workshop facilitator was friendly and full of practical advice. While these workshops are not for experts, they’re good fun for the casual hobbyist or the lazy, aspiring artist.

When I am feeling artistic, there is nothing I like better than making a huge mess with a bunch of brightly coloured soft pastels.
I have been through a few different brands. My favourite is Winsor & Newton but they are not always easy to find. Lucky me for, Eckersley’s always has them in stock and a really decent selection of colours too plus a range of paper stocks in different colours and textures.
Being a I designer by trade, I have bought so much stuff from here! If they do not have Pantone swatch books in store, they are happy to order one in for you, although they do not have a huge range. They certainly have enough to get you started though. the markers and pens are good quality and again, enough to get you started.
