We've compiled a list of some of our favorite art supply shops across Hong Kong. From watercolour to oil paint we've got you covered.
Artland
Situated in Wan Chai, Artland is one of the best stocked art supply shops on Hong Kong island. With over 4000 square feet you can find a wide range of products perfect for both professionals and amateurs. They also supply craft products (glue guns, foamboard, craft kits, card). Personally we love their supply and range of paint. They have an impressive range of paint brands, colours and mixing mediums (including epoxy resin).

CN Square
CN Square is the largest art supply shop in Kowloon. Originally a stationary shop they quickly expanded to 3 storeys with over 10,000 square feet and 20,000 products. They have a huge range from office supplies to fine art supplies and crafts. In 2015 they opened a second location in Fortress Hill and they now have a third location in Tsuen Wan. We love their incredible collection. If you're looking to get creative and can't find what you're looking for or need inspiration CN Square is definitely worth a visit.

Martin's liquid acrylic, india ink and calligraphy colours.
