Art is a capable of communicating complex emotions with a simple stroke of a crayon or stuffing of an exotic bird. Express yourself with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of art supplies, tools, and merchandise at Art Supply Warehouse, located in Westminster on Westminster Boulevard right off the 405.

Art Supply Warehouse's massive floor space comes crammed full of paints, pencils, sculpting tools, brushes, charcoals and pastels, and canvas. Sketch a sketchy character with a 12-piece set of Staedtler Lumograph pencils ($15.46) and a brass sharpener ($6.98), or stare at the color wheel (with color-mixing workbook, $9.99) long enough to reveal a Magic Eye image of more colors. Ready-made frames ($9.99–$49.99) can be a fancy home to any finished piece of art or discarded candy wrapper.

Art Supply Warehouse's huge, densely stocked selection delivers the tools and supplies it takes to make creative visions a refrigerator-worthy reality. The Groupon can also be used for events and workshops, which provide hands-on artistic guidance, including life-drawing sessions to hone human-drawing skills ($20).

• Great place to get art supplies,,, [sic] ranging from a simple pencil sharperner [sic] to a hard to come by ink pencil... I know I can always count on finding what I need at a good reasonable price – Quaketats, Judy's Book
