CFM’s paints, supplies, and classes are all phenomenal. I love finding an excuse to schlep out to Ocean Beach so I can stop in and buy more fun stuff. I’m so glad I found this place — and a new hobby in watercolor!

Online purchaser: I’ve been using these watercolors for 2 years ! Great pigments.

Wonderful store for handcrafted watercolors. While pricey the place makes you feel like you've got quality in your hands as you leave to make your own art

From LA. This was all I wanted to come for when me and my BF came to SF for a short vacation 🫶🏽 V cute shop with art supplies mainly watercolors. The watercolors are handmade, and as a bday gift I treated myself to the build-your-own palette!! My 24 pc was about 320$ understandably, as you pay for the palette + individual color. If you're a painter, definitely visit here!!
