Art Supplies

Art Supplies Online in India

Stationerie has been supplying artists in Kolkata for 25 years, first as R Kumar on Gariahat Road and now online across India. We are unusual among art retailers in that we also manufacture: over sixty brushmakers in our own Kolkata workshop produce around five lakh brushes a month, which is why our own-brand brushes cost a fraction of the imported equivalent at comparable quality.

Where to start

The core categories are Colours for acrylic, oil, watercolour and gouache, Brushes across every shape and hair type, Papers & Pads for watercolour paper, sketchbooks and blocks, Pencils and Charcoal & Graphite for drawing, Mediums for changing how paint behaves, and Easels & Tools for the studio itself.

Choosing between brands

We stock around 45 brands, from Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, Golden, Schmincke, Daniel Smith, Arches and Fabriano at the professional end through Camel, Brustro, Mont Marte and Doms for students. The art supply brands page explains what each one is actually good at. If you are buying brushes and unsure where to begin, the paint brush guide walks through shape, hair and size.

Trade buyers can see wholesale and OEM brush manufacturing. Shipped across India from Kolkata.
