Overview
Art material (画材, gazai) refers to drawing materials necessary for drawing, such as pencils, brushes, paints, canvas, and paper.
Stores specializing in these art-making supplies are called art supply stores.
The most convenient materials can be found at convenience stores, supermarkets, department stores, and stationery stores, while the more professional materials are often not available except at large art supply stores or by mail order. There are also art supplies for coloring and painting other than paper.
