I had a bunch of questions and no direction with what I wanted when I came in but I was helped and guided to the proper products. I’m new to painting and just had an idea in me head and he helped it come back to life teaching me about the different paints brushes and canvases. I’m super happy with what I bought and nearly all of it was on sale but high quality. I made my first painting today and hope to make many more after this. I am also intrigued about the art classes they offer and will hopefully be back for some of those. 10/5 stars.

Great art store. Happen to google art stores near me and this popped up. I visited and was very pleased by the large variety of supplies. Since then I've gone back a few times and I'm never disappointed. They also have a great Copic section which is perfect for me.

One thing I love about moving in New Jersey is the amount of small Mom and Pop shops (small businesses) there are. I wanted to go to a new art shop that is not Michael's, Joann's, or Hobby Lobby (big box corporations). I looked up "art store near me" and fell upon this on Google. I saw that the ratings are very high and decided to take a day to come down to check the shop out. It is in an suite type of building but they did make signs to make it easier to find your way. Once walking in it was like an artist heaven. They have products I never seen before. I was lucky enough to meet the owner George and he is a personable person. You can tell he put a lot of love and dedication to his store and actually get to know his customers. He showed me what he thinks is best for acrylic paint and what I can try to work on. He was even nice enough to show me the brushes that had a big sale on them (and better quality than the ones I was about to get). He cares about his customers and would try to make sure you get things in your budget and not trying to upsale things to you. He also has a paint studio where he has his teachers he hires to teach some intermediate to professional artwork. And don't forget to sign up for the email program to get notifications about deals! I am definitely coming back here. I had an amazing experience

Great family owned store! Always throw a big discount in and offer amazing classes. Scott Nickerson was my teacher and he was incredible. Met me where I was and taught me based on my style and ability, not some cookie cutter method. Top notch and highly recommend!

It's my first time here however the art supplies are very inclusive. The range of brands can go from the basic well known brands all the way to expensive artist grade brands that you cannot find in other arts and crafts chains. The co-owner George is very knowledgeable in the products when I was converse with him. Every customer that visits the store needs to sanitize their hands upon entering which shows they uphold the safety of everyone with utmost importance. George also ensure you get a great experience when you're there, making sure you get the products that you need for your art projects and will work with your budget limit as well.

I first went to Colorest in November 2018 and have been back a number of times a year. This is simply the best art supplies store on the east coast, no hyperbole. This place destroys any Michael's or Blick you can think of. The staff is friendly and helpful and they feature painting classes onsite. They even have a wall in the back for street art! I love these guys!

I have been a devoted customer and art student of colorest for over 10 years!!! The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. They will go out of their way to give you the finest service! Their art classes and teachers are outstanding! I have learned so much through their classes and workshops. Their teachers are the best in the area! The best art store and school in Monmouth County!

Hands down the best fine art supply store. I've been going here since I was a little kid, at least 20 years now. If you are looking for professional quality supplies this is the place for you
