I live in a smallish city - we don't have a specific art supply store here although there is one store that carries Alcohol Inks (thank goodness) so I find myself having to order many of my supplies online. Last May I published a blog about places to find Alcohol Ink Supplies in Canada. Since then I've found a few more art supply stores online and decided to update this post. My first post focused on places that sold alcohol inks and supplies but this post includes any art supply store as long as you can order from them online.
Disclaimer: I am not associated with, nor am I being compensated by any of the companies on this list for mentioning them. I have ordered from some of these stores but not all, so I can't speak to the delivery times or customer service. This is not a review of the sites but a list of resources. All of the information I have included is correct to the best of my knowledge at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
