Are art supplies readily available in Oaxaca?
I pass along a response from an artist friend of mine: “There are art stores here–among others, Frieda Khalo–where one can buy canvases, papers, turpentine, brushes, paints, etc. However, they do not sell top brands of paint, such as Winsor&Newton. “W&N paints, as well as Rembrandt brushes, can be ordered at a small store, Grana y Ail, on Colon. Linen canvases are not available, but linen can be stretched here. How long does the person anticipate staying?? “I would suggest that she bring with her a supply of her preferred brands of oil paint or watercolors and sable brushes if she uses them. There is a Sera art supply store in Mexico City, which carries some but not all W&N colors and perhaps some colors in U.S. brands. Having paints, etc., sent from the U.S.
