Blending Stumps and Odourless Mineral Spirits

[BLowes]

Just signed on in cold, cold, Canada(Ontario) and wondering if Michaels carries blending stumps and mineral spirits? Just watched an online video and would like to give it a try.
Thanks

I haven't shopped in a Michael's in Canada, but here in the US they do sell blending stumps and odorless mineral spirits.

You'll want to look for the OMS in the same aisle as the "good" artists' paintbrushes, acrylic paints, etc. Our local Michael's carries two brands. Winsor & Newton is sold in small clear bottles - maybe 4 oz? I'm not sure. Houston Arts Mona Lisa brand is sold in opaque white bottles; mine is 8 oz but they also offer other sizes. However, that 8 oz bottle has lasted me for at least 6 years.

The blending stumps will probably be in the aisle with the Prismacolor pencils and markers.
