Choosing art supplies is easier when you start with one project. Decide whether you want to draw, paint a canvas, try watercolour or make an art journal page. Then buy a small selection of materials that work together. You can browse art supplies at Creative Crafts Dubai online, or ask our team for help in the Al Jaffiliya store.
A simple shopping list for your first project
- One medium: choose pencils, acrylic paints or watercolours for the project you want to make.
- A suitable surface: check the paper, sketch pad or canvas description for its intended use, size and pack quantity.
- The tools you need: choose brushes or drawing tools to match your medium, rather than buying a large collection straight away.
- Basic protection and clean-up: prepare your workspace and follow the care instructions supplied with your materials.
If you want to paint
Compare our acrylic paints and watercolours before choosing your surface and tools. Check the set size, individual colour information and container volume. A set of 12 colours and 12 tubes of paint are not complete descriptions on their own: the amount of paint in each container also matters.
Browse paint brushes and canvases, then confirm that the items suit your planned medium. Contact us if the listing does not answer a compatibility question.
If you want to draw or keep an art journal
Start with drawing pencils and a sketch pad or art journal in a size you will enjoy using. Check the number of sheets, paper weight and whether the paper is described as suitable for dry or wet media. If you plan to mix drawing and paint, ask about the surface before ordering.
Buying for children, classes or party favours
Check any age guidance and supervision requirements on the product. For a group, calculate quantities for each participant and compare the number of pieces in each pack. Our party favour builder lets you choose available kits and stationery with a separate quantity for each item and no minimum order quantity. Custom orders require advance payment.
