Built by Artists.
For Artists.

Obsidian Supply Co. was born out of frustration with art supply stores that stock the same tired brands.

We go to the source — Japan's finest studios — and bring back materials worth obsessing over.

Holbein oils ground from the same pigments since 1900. Awagami papers pulled by hand on the island of Shikoku. Turner Acryl Gouache in colors you can't find on a shelf in this country.

We don't carry everything. We carry the things we'd use ourselves — and only those.
