here to be certain that it is in stock.. Cheap
Joes Watercolor Set If the website says that it is out of stock,
call them 1 800 227-2788 and they will send it. I suggest ordering
three additional colors, American Journey (their house brand).
15 ml tubes of Rambling Rose, Indian Yellow and Joe's Green. Check
with them on the expected shipping arrival. Their least expensive
rate sometimes ensues very slow delivery. I suggest that
you go to the website cheapjoes.com and
select the following paints from his list of “house brand” paints, American
Journey. They are good quality and are the best value
for the money even when you consider shipping. The thirteen recommended
paints can be purchased for a little over
$100 at this writing.
Cheap Joe also
sells brushes, palettes and paper and gator board should you
wish to buy from him. Generally brushes and
paper
can be purchased at local art supply stores. The problem with
purchasing paints locally is that often there will
not be the
selection you want or desirable manufacturers.
If you decide
to buy your palette from Cheap Joe, choose Cheap Joe's Original Palette.
