Art is my passion and I’m so happy that this business exists. The prices are very reasonable, have a whole variety of art supplies. I went in there for some art supplies and and left with art supplies, a smile and a strong desire to come back. I highly recommend this to anyone working on their art project. :)

Such a great experience after growing up shopping at Art Media in Portland where prices where astronomical and the staff often a bit pretentious, yet unhelpful. Dots N Doodles is everything I used to imagine a great art store being, before I’d ever been in a great art store.1. It’s really a small town, community store, not a corporate chain. And it shows.2. The owners are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about art materials. And they have a great knack for knowing how much to offer their assistance and how much to just let you discover the store. It’s rare that I go to a store where they actually teach me things. But they’ve taught me a number of things.3. They have the most wonderful store mascot. The sweetest dog ever.4. The selection is outstanding. They always have what I’m looking for and have things I didn’t know I should try.5. Two of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. I don’t know how a retail experience could be any better than a visit with either of these two.6. Prices are very reasonable in an industry known for being priced for well-to-do hobby artists. Lots of materials on an ongoing sale. And there’s usually several great things on a steep discount. I often leave with an impulse buy because the sale was too good to pass up.You cannot get from an online discount store what you get Dots and Doodles. Instead of ending up with a great price on the wrong things/poor quality, you get a great price on the right things, some helpful direction and a very good experience. Plus it’s right in the neighborhood. This professional painter couldn’t recommend an art store any more than I recommend Dots N Doodles.

I stopped in as I traveled through Astoria and needless to say I was amazed. This art store is so well stocked and has such a variety of tools for any type of artist. They had colored pencils I could not even get at my local Blick store. The displays were gorgeous, the owners were extremely Nice and the dog that the store was named after was beyond cute. Anytime I travel to Oregon, I will for sure be stopping here.

The best art supply store that I have visited. Great service and knowelegable staff. The owners are amazing. I learn something new every time I go in for supplies. They take the time to explain products, and offer advice. A place for beginners and experts. I leave every time inspired to create and try new products. Classes offered. Beautiful, well designed store. Check out their website and pictures. Sweet shop dog to welcome you.

Im kind of in love with this shop. The selection is top-notch and they always seem to have every single thing I need...even before I know I need it. The watercolor section is nothing short of amazing, and they carry brands Ive always wanted to try but wasnt sure I could find in real space. (In fact, I have to kind of limit my visits or Id be living in a box. A very well-decorated, art-filled box, but a box, nonetheless.) Plus, theres a very friendly shop dog, which will always add about three stars to any of my reviews. Unfortunately, they wont let me give D&D eight stars out of five, or I totally would.

Oh. My. Gosh. This place is amazing! Im a writer, so brush lettering and calligraphy are my bag. Scott pointed me exactly where I needed to be for pens and markers. I also found some fabulous Italian eco-paper i havent seen since my last trip to London. Go here and have a blast! (Watch out for Doodles- hes a little slobbery after a big drink. 😉)
