I was speaking to someone from an art supply company this morning, and when I mentioned what I'm using stuff for (miniature painting) they got interested in hearing more. I told them I was somewhat surprised that I hadn't seen much of an effort from larger art supply companies to advertise or otherwise engage the miniature painters (of all types - historical, gaming, etc.) since there is so much potential business to be had. Something as simple as grouping potentially useful products under a sub-heading on their Web site could be useful to mini painters and fairly low cost for the company to do.
The person I was speaking with thought this was a great idea, and would like an email with some potential ideas of products to include in the list.
I know the obvious stuff (brushes, inks, acrylic paint mediums and such, brush carriers/cases), but there's probably other stuff that people have found on their own that I may not have thought about.
Do you have anything that you get from an art supply company that I could list as a potential idea? Please post here if so. Thanks!
