I am planning on painting (watercolour and acrylic) during my frequent visits to Aruba. Would anyone know where to purchase artist supplies (paints, paper, canvas, etc.). Many thanks all. Michael

Several places, but the best one near the tourist areas and residential areas in the North is Antraco (Samsom) Book store, L. G. Smith Boulevard 126-A.

It is a few shops down from Wendy's, towards Orangestad. That one is the easiest to find.

For the simpler art supplies there are also several other bookstores that have it. Pricesmart also have it, but only sometimes

.

If you need more specialized items there are speciality stores like:

Ardeco Kunst Atelier, Picaron 7c, 858 33 74

The Craft shop in Tanki Leendert 241, 587 8272

There are a few other that could be listed but think you will find everything you need in these.
