I just completed a 3day painting workshop at Art Central which was outstanding! Jason Mayr’s workshop on oil painting techniques added new information and practice to my brushwork. Finally, someone explained the value of gel painting medium. So worth your time.

I love this place. I don’t know who exactly owns it, but they really like community and they really like people. First of all, they have an extra art room where local art of all levels is – to my delight — displayed and celebrated. I believe I heard at one time that the room is also offered for«come as you are» art sessions, so that artists can sit and work together. I went in the other day just to see if they had any cool supplies which would help in my recent foray into watercolor painting. «Margaret» saw me standing, stumped, in front of the array of brushes and helped me out, not only showing me over to the ones in my price range, but later — even though she had already rung me up — correcting my selection, since I had chosen both watercolor and oil brushes. Who knew?(I guess Margaret did.) I felt so happy that she had cared to spend this time on me. Go visit them! Help them stay around! And say hello to Margaret for me.

I came in with a time constraint and was instantly greeted with a warm welcome from the staff who helped me find my items and showed me alternative items. There is also a student discount which was great! I couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely be going back soon!

I came today in the morning with my friend. The girls working there were very friendly, made sure to ask if we needed anything and were finding everything that we needed. I like the varied art supplies and the fact that the watercolor section is right next to the register haha. I had a very good first experience and will definitely be going again, soon.

Great to link with the creative arts. I know those who attended your 1 year anniversary were filled with great inspiration. See you at the next First Saturday: Wine and the Arts in Paso Robles.

Today, I biked from Cal Poly to this store and was greeted instantly as i walk in. A woman came up to me and i showed her my list for art 101 and just went around the whole store and got what i needed. she didn’t tell me to get any extra and helped me find the cheapest materials. At the end i couldn’t find a way to bike my large18“x24″ pads. so the lady thought a bit and she made an awesome rig to strap it on to my bag and i was on my way back to school. If thats not service then I dont know what is. Plus there was a 20% off deal for students, so it was great.

Really nice space, encouraging to artists and dabblers alike, great gallery, is on the Art After Dark tour, and excellent help with the use of new supplies if one is not conversant in all the media. Etty’s been great at getting me hard to find supplies. Always a cheerful moment when looking forward to using new stuff, and finding someone like her who really knows her stuff!

This felt so good to walk into. This is a store with supplies for real artists. Not to diss Michael’s but it is so nice not to have to wade through a ton of Kitch to get what I need. More than that, Art Central carried something that I have not been able to find since Law’s closed. When I spoke to the owner she said that her plans are to make her store more like a Law’s. She was also hosting the Central Coast Watercolor Society show when I was there. A store that supports her customers was another plus for me. Parking is also free. I can see this store doing very well in our community. I’m so happy that it is here.
