A Scenic Drive & a Favorite Art Store

This weekend we went on one of our favorite drives along the Columbia Gorge, starting up the Washington side and back on the Oregon side.

We stopped in historic Hood River to sample a little wine and visited my favorite art store.

Tokki Art Supply
409 Oak St
Hood River, OR 97031
United States

It’s a very small but I always find something I have to have!

I was pleased to see items from two of my favorite brands – Hahnemühle and Zebra Pens.

Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbooks

One of my favorites from the Hahnemühle line. This paper handles pretty much everything you throw at it!

Zebra Pen Sarasa Retractable Clip Pens

Ooh. I don’t have those Vintage colors yet! Or I didn’t before visiting the shop.

Artist Ambassador for Zebra Pens. I'm a self-taught artist who dances about with all sorts of artistic mediums. My main loves are Watercolor, Zentangle and Ballpoint pen. The subjects of my work are many and varied and change at whim. I'm a little bit crazy, but doesn't that come with being an artist? At my Life Imitates Doodles Blog, I post a list of resource links for Tangles, Tutorials and Giveaways two times a week. I also write reviews, hold giveaways and share my art work. View more posts

Oh Oh! I hadn’t seen those vintage colors either. I’ve bought ALL the other color combos, except the pastel….(of course I’ve given them all to my artist grandkids) I have very few! Thanks for the tempting recommendation…I think I’ve been to this store too. Now I want to take a little road trip!

Wow! Are those Vintage colors new? I haven’t seen them before and I KNOW I have to have those. Sounds like a great road trip. Since most of my family has now moved out of Oregon, I guess I need to check the stores around. But this has inspired me to get out of the house a bit more!

  Leslie, the Vintage colors have been around a little while. It is a fantastic road trip – only takes about 3 hours if you don’t spend too long walking around. The art store is just frosting on the cake!

I’d love to get into that store. I could spend some money there. Hahaha.

  Lol! I always find something I don’t really need. I picked up a cool wooden box for storing my brushes!

What a great art store; small, but very smart to carry your fave supplies! I love shopping at the independent stores.

  I do too! This one used to be over on the Washington side, in Bingen. They moved to Hood River last year.
