art supplies

Painter's shopping list

Art supplies are materials used to create visual art—paints, brushes, canvases, pencils, pastels, clay, and the like.

The term covers everything from professional-grade oils to children's crayons: I need to pick up some art supplies for the kids' project.

An art supply store stocks these materials.
