Senior Art Supplies

I was looking to buy something that I saw on Kickstarter, and with a little bit of research I found that it was sold at Seniors Art Supplies. I looked up their location which wasn't that far from where I live. A quick call and they were bringing in for from another store. I went to pick it up and had a good look around to see what paint's they had. The staff were very knowledgeable of what they sell and very helpful. Their store is big and has a big selection of art products. Very impressive store and one which I will visit again when I need to buy paint. Stores like that require people who want to keep local businesses open and staying open in the future by going there to do their shopping. Just help your local stores stay open

I went back to this store after 3 yrs with lots of hope as I had already bought some good stuff from them in past. Yet again found what I needed and result of product way more than I anticipated. The gold color was water based very easy to apply and with just 2 times application looked wonderful on my eco friendly Ganesh. About store, very friendly staff, good suggestions and trusted place.

Had a fabulous experience dealing with Senior Art Supplies. Their products are excellent quality, competitively priced and my mail order was incredibly well packaged. Highly recommend.

Mark and the team are always helpful. The store is a chock-full of high quality, well priced art materials from around the world. It's hard to walk out with only what you intended on buying

Really helpful staff and an range of art supplies that is unmatched!!

Seniors is more an artistic experience than just a retail outlet. As an artist is difficult to leave such a welcoming and well stocked art space. All the best artistic equipment and supplies and friendly helpful staff. Don't expect to be in and out in a few minutes. I always visit when I have time to spare because the space is so beautiful and the supplies are so tempting. I've bought online for pick up when I've been in more of a hurry. Spend some time here and enjoy this beautiful store

The staff are friendly and helpful. I’m new to painting and they helped me pick out my first water colour palette and brushes.

Very attentive and friendly. Exhaustively searched for the perfect match on a new mat board for an art piece, courteously updated me regularly, very happy with the results and at a reasonable price.

This is the art equivalent of a really good book shop with shelves to the ceiling and full of wonderful feasts for the eyes.🥰
This was my first time here and was amazed with the extensive range of products available. The staff were very helpful from the outset, despite being busy, and knew their stock well. I needed brushes and paints to restart an old skill, not done for more than 20 years, so I was feeling a little anxious. But it was all good.

Definitely recommend this art supplies store for it's huge variety of quality products, kind helpful service and good prices. Also car parking nearby was easy to find for a short amount of time.

I was given great help and assistance when asked and found all equipment I could possibly hope to find.

Excellent place for your art supplies. Knowledgeable staff who are extremely helpful. Cater to your needs and experience. Good variety of quality products. Highly recommended.

Was good time for shopping! Very friendly staff.

I walked in wanting to buy a present for a colleague but knew nothing about art. One of the staff named Timothy was super patient and knowledgable, and walked through everything with me. He remained patient and kind as I chopped and changed ideas. He was very friendly and spent a lot of time helping me find what I needed, making great suggestions too.

Highly recommend for artists and mortals like me to visit! They are even dog friendly which is a massive bonus.

Started by Bob Senior over thirty years ago, Senior Art Supplies now run four stores across Melbourne, including one in Degraves Street, as well as a comprehensive online store. I know of artists who have purchased art materials from Bob since the store first opened, including my mum. As regulars, they receive a 10% discount. The Malvern store's range is excellent and the store assistant was confident and knowledgeable about the different mediums and products. 🎨👍

Love the service here. They helped me find exactly what I needed including the best paint brush which my artist mother agreed was a great recommendation

Great shop for art products, staff very knowledgeable and helpful.
Love shopping here

What a range!..awesome!... and the staff was very helpful....highly recommended to get your artist on!....

I recently discovered Senior Art Supplies and all I can say is...woah. Actually I can say more, as this is a review :).

Range is brilliant & the staff knowledge is exceptional (thank you very much to Mark). I will never shop at Eckersley's again.
Exp @ Eckersleys: Feels very "reject shop" vibes even though they mark up everything. There isn't a thing they sell that I haven't found cheaper elsewhere (same brands) with little effort. The knowledge...well, I get the feeling they may hire 1st year Art students or people hoping if they work there that inspiration might come. I know that sounds harsh but honestly, they had no idea how to answer any question and gave my partner false information on more than 1 occasion around brands and quality (basics).
Exp @ Senior Art Supplies: Feels like an artist's version of Hogwarts. Everything you could want including canvas stretching and framing. Knowledge comes from staff who clearly use the products themselves for a number a years and can give unbiased factual advice to enable you to make the right choice for you. To the few reviewers who said you need to dress 'rich'; I call BS. I had been doing housework - let's just say I did not look like a put together human and I had the best experience. And they were VERY patient with me.

If you've scrolled down to the bottom of my review because you can't be stuffed reading it all; the main takeaway - SHOP HERE. Do not even bother with other art shops. You couldn't be disappointed OR go on their website. They have a good online presence.

The staff were really helpful! Great guidance and took budget into consideration. The store was recommended to me and I can see why!

There is a large variety of supplies here! The staff are friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and they have 20% discounts on paint brushes at the moment. They also have 10% student discounts
