Daniel’s Art Supplies

its a crazy ass store… dust, dirt and all and the salesperson doesn’t have a clue of what he is selling. at all. so not to much art background there at all. on the other hand they have a very hard to find «lucas brand «available on the shelf — really hard to find in Toronto. i’ll only recommend it for the fact that i have not found this type of paint anywhere else. anywhere in toronto .and its a very good quality paint. everything else there sucks.btw. i was there at 3;34 pm today

I usually go to Gwartzman, which is only less than a block away, for my art supplies. But I was in a hurry the other day, so I went to Daniel’s.
Daniel’s is a small art supply store with a very small range of brands and products. I asked for 2 tubes of acrylic in white and gold, but they only carried the really expensive ones that costs $ 10 something each. Unlike many other art supply stores, Daniel’s does not provide student discount. I was in a rush hurry, so I thought I would still pay for it. Yet they do not accept debit or credit cards — only cash — and I did not have enough cash on me. So I ended up buying only one tube and dashed to Gwartzman for the other colour which costed me $ 3 something over there.
While the products were expensive, I must still give them some points for their service. The cashier insisted on giving me a free box for the one tube of acrylic I bought, even though I do not see the need of it.
In conclusion, while their expensive prices can be somewhat justified by their higher quality products and service, other stores offer students discount and payment by debit and credit card. Hence, not likely to visit again.
