Anyone know where to find art supplies? Paints, canvas material, brushes, easels, general artwork materials, etc...

If you're in Seoul, most of the large bookstores have art supply areas: Kyobo, Youngpoong, etc.

Thanks! I wanted to check out Kyobo last weekend, but my coworker accidentally gave me the wrong subway stop in their instructions.

I'd like to hit Namdaemun too. Is it true that the wholesalers operate from midnight to 6am? How much do you have to buy to get wholesale pricing?

I get my watercolors and brushes from basically any department store. They're good enough.

I have an E-mart close by, but they only have brushes and black ink - didn't see any watercolors. I'm looking for oil based/acrylic paint , canvas material, etc. I'm hoping that the Kyobo or the other place mentioned above pans out.

due to the glut of art haggies, plus the university; Hongdae has a fair share of stores selling artist quality supplies.
