Watercolor is more than an introduction to paint—it is an invitation to see the world differently. As you continue, you’ll learn how water, color, light, and movement work together to create paintings filled with energy and feeling.

ARCH interviewed Rhonel Roberts about his upcoming Fall Watercolor Experience! Coming up this Saturday, October 3; read more and sign up at the link in our bio.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

"When you’re a child being creative, you don’t know you’re on a creative path. You’re just having fun creating stuff…I’m doing exactly what I’ve always wanted as a child."

"I like designing posters. I’m in awe of travel, cafe, and movie posters, many inspired by my travels in Europe. After reading in the Chronicle newspaper about San Francisco’s popularity as a travel destination, I decided to create posters."

"My goal is to help my students create paintings that are fun and full of discovery. It’s the happy accidents that sometimes catch us by surprise." taken in ARCH Art & Drafting Supply by @archsupplies

Log your life with the Jibun Techo books!

“Jibun” meaning myself, this highly customized planner has a weekly gridded layout with space for habit tracking, to-do lists, and many other memory keeping notes. The paper is extra smooth and perfect for any gel/fountain pen, markers or washi tape. Pick up the Days version for even more space to journal or add memorabilia.

The Full 2027 Kit includes three books: Weekly planner, Life booklet, and Idea booklet for all your personal logging needs.

Available in-store and online (link in bio!)

Planner season is in full swing, so come hang out with fellow analog planner enthusiasts and discuss strategies, materials, pens, washi tape, life tracking, chore charts and more with like minded people.

Join us on Thursday, September 17, 6:30-8:30pm. Garuntee your spot by signing up at the link in our bio!

Think “Night at the Museum” but at the art supply store; the paints will come alive and the sketchbooks may bite. Well, not really, but it is a chance to hang out with your favorite ARCHie and make art in a chill, uninstructed, communal setting.

Enjoy a cozy hangout at ARCH After Hours with planner-obsessed ARCH employees. Have a fall check in with your planner or journal, or just make friends and share supplies and inspiration.

We encourage you to bring your own art supplies and a project to work on, or follow our prompt and experiment with samples of our various art materials. Hang out and enjoy a community of artists making together. by @archsupplies

Join @cathyraingarden for her next Guided Urban Sketching class at ARCH! Whether starting from scratch or looking to re-invigorate your sketching practice, now is the time to get inspired for a spring and summer full of sketching!

Saturday, September 12-- Sign up now at the link in our bio!

Cathy believes that everyone can learn to draw and this class is meant to demystify urban sketching in a friendly setting. She has designed the class in bite-size pieces that allow students to learn at a comfortable pace:

-The class warm-up exercises are designed to connect our eyes to our drawing hand and get rid of any worry.

-She covers basic one and two point perspective, and the use of small thumbnail sketches to figure out a composition that includes the three layers of foreground, midground, and background.

-Cathy will cover the importance of a limited palette, and show the range of colors you can mix.

-She will demonstrate a quick sketch that shows how to pull together the bite–size bits of learning into a final urban sketch.

-Students will have time to complete their own urban sketch onsite.

By warming up and learning in bite-size bits, students will be able to see how an urban sketch is pulled together. The friendly environment encourages questions of all kinds and we have a ‘sketchbook throw down’ of student work at the end, where we can all marvel at how uniquely we each see our environment.

Students will receive a super handy four page set of urban sketching notes to take home and help them on their urban sketching journey. taken in ARCH Art & Drafting Supply by @archsupplies

Go Beyond the First Brushstroke with Rhonel Roberts!

Join us for this watercolor experience at ARCH, Saturday, October 3rd, 11am-3pm. Tickets available at the link in our bio-- all materials included!

Watercolor is more than an introduction to paint—it is an invitation to see the world differently. As you continue, you’ll learn how water, color, light, and movement work together to create paintings filled with energy and feeling.

Each brushstroke builds confidence. Each unexpected blend becomes a discovery. Through guided projects inspired by flowers, architecture, everyday objects, people, and the beauty of San Francisco, you’ll strengthen your skills while developing a style that feels uniquely your own.

You don’t need to be “naturally artistic.” You only need curiosity and the willingness to continue. Your first watercolor experience opens the door; going deeper helps you discover just how much creativity has been waiting inside you.

Keep exploring. Keep experimenting. Keep painting. Your artistic voice is only beginning to emerge.

Looking forward to joining you in your artistic journey! taken in ARCH Art & Drafting Supply by @archsupplies
