Art Supply Stores in Merida-Where can I find one or two?

Hi Jtinkey,
Welcome to this end of the planet. I know there is a small art supply store in the plaza in Campeche, so perhaps there is a similar store in your area. In Merida there is a super wal-mart and super Cheduari.
. I will caution you that paint doesn't last long at all. It starts to chip quickly and fall off due to the humidity and heat. If I were you I would keep it simple and mix my own colors instead of going for the master piece. I'm touching up about every two months here. Perhaps a canvas would be better than a mural.  Good luck.

If you need more help you might try.

Hi travelight! Thank you for the information. Yes, my plan is to mix things myself and keep the designs simple. We just bought our place in January and there are 2 walls of custom murals of the ocean (one under cover and the other in full sun) and the one in the sun is just flaking like crazy! Of course, it doesn't help that the walls were never sealed/primed before painting. Or that the opposite side is the outside of our compound (facing north) and never even painted or anything. You just have to wonder sometimes . . . Thanks again!  Julie T

You might find that priming and painting won't make a lot of difference  especially on the one wall. The entry wall  here was painted again in December and one wall is chipping and flaking. 2 accent walls in another room had to be touched up twice with a heavy brush full of paint before they stopped flaking. Even so I expect to have to repaint in the next 6 months.The kitchen was sealed, but doesn't look like it any more, and it is shedding. Painting here is not like the U.S. at all.
Oh by the way, I checked with the Home Depot here and it is apparently different than the one you visited because they have over 1000 colors .
