Status: offline 		Thank you Kelli and Christi....I guess it is either Dick Blick or else search for a bargain online at ebay.  I did find winsor newtons on ebay a few months back but the tube of paint was almost hardened so I am a bit cautious after that experience. Of course when I ordered it i was desperate for that particular color and they probably could have sent me a brick and I would have used it.  The woman offered me a refund...but at the time i Just didnt have the leisure to send it back and wait for her new item or refund. I kind of think that some of the sellers of this type of item dont really understand the condition that the paint should be in so I think I will go to D.Blick.  I really wish that they would improve on their name,it sounds more like a porno site than an art supply place.

lol I never thought of that! They've been around forever, I'm surprised you two hadn't heard of them!

I was going to suggest ebay for the paints, maybe you'll find someone who has a set & finds they don't use them. You could also try amazon although I've never bought art supplies there (bought just about everything else though!)

I always compare between 3-4 online art stores because sometimes they have great sales going on!
