Public Service announcement - Current online art supplies deals

Sometimes I can't help myself from hunting for deals even when I actually do not need anything, so the sooner somebody grabs them the less temptation I will have to resist as I surf the internet:

For the ultimate colored pencil box set check out the Caran D'Ache 240 Pencil Limited Edition Collectors Box which includes the entire range of 120 Pablo colored pencils and 120 Supracolor watercolor pencils in a single Prestige wooden box set for $355 (list price $478.00).

If in the market for artists' watercolors in tubes take a peek at the Maimeri Blu Watercolor Wood Box Set for $64.99 (list price $199.00). Had the chance to hold one of this sets at a store sometime ago, and it is truly a hefty and nice looking wooden box loaded with twelve 15 ml tubes.

If you are familiar with this blog, you might have noticed that I have a particular fondness for the now discontinued Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Aquarelle sticks. Currently there are still 2 retailers that have some sets listed under their clearance sections:

for $39.95 (Save 57% off list).

Faber-Castell 10 Aquarelle Stick Set- Basic for $15.99 (down from $19.99)
Faber-Castell 10 Aquarelle Stick Set- Landscape
for $15.99 (down from $19.99)

Thanks for the kind feedback! It's nice to know that readers are finding the art supplies reviews useful. Sometimes it seems we might be part of the minority that still enjoys playing with analog art supplies. Yet when you talk with digital artists, the majority seems to retain a fondness for quality sketching tools as well.
