J.Miller Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I need some large bottles of odorless paint thinner, some brushes and a couple of other things but was hoping not to have to go all the way into Ajijic to get what I need. Is there a well stocked art supply store in SJC or Joco. I did drop into Paper Max in Joco but found that they don't have much of anything in the way of art supplies.

artsnob Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 There is no quality art supplies, Only in Ajijic or Lumen in GDL where I buy my supplies, better than anything local and worth the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Miller Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thank you Artsnob; I have never been to Lumen; I guess I will have to look it up, put the address in our GPS and make the trip but for now I was hoping for something closer to home and I am sure that you are right: Ajijic!

conejorapido Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hyper Lumen next to the Home Depot on Acuaducto. Everything you could imagine for art supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artsnob is correct about having everything in art supplies at Lumen in Guadalaja. However, for the things you say you want right now, you can check out the art store on Marcos Castellanos in Ajijic (west of the big church and Plaza) or Salvador's, upstairs in Plaza Bugambilia (where El Torito is). Salvador does custom canvas stretching and framing as well as having a supply of brushes and other art supplies. Some of the papelerias carry a limited supply of art supplies.

J.Miller Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks Gringal; I usually shop at the places that you have mentioned and Salvador has stretched miles of custom sized canvas for me! It is just about an hours drive to go into Ajijic from Roca Azul and I was hoping not to have to make the run. But made the trip today and stocked up; I am going to locate Lumen though as I am sure that I would find lots of what I haven't found here which reminds me: does anyone sell yuple for watercolor here?

gringal Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I suggest you check with Lumen online or contact ArtSnob, who teaches watercolor locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
