Green & Stone

About

Green and Stone has been described as one of the most friendly and enchanting shops to visit in London, where there is always something for those who are beginning to draw or paint and for those seeking advice about what to buy. Green and Stone’s craft department on the lower ground floor carries a wide range of materials for modelling and card making, along with a young children’s section. For the serious artist, Green and Stone’s independent status has meant that it has consistently striven to offer the Finest Materials available including, Artist’s oil colours by Michael Harding, Sennelier, Winsor and Newton and Charvin; watercolours by Schmincke and Daniel Smith and acrylics by Golden, Liquitex and Daler Rowney. To simply browse even without an artistic agenda is almost always fruitful. The incredible variety of goods within the confines of this delightfully woody and old-fashioned store is an inspiration for those without any particular mission.
