Supplies

One of the best perks of attending a Hameau Artist Retreat is the access to tons of free art supply samples at the "Sponsors' Table." Susan has worked hard to get national art companies to back all of her workshops. Her sponsors are Gamblin Artist Colors, Jack Richeson, Sennelier, Art Cocoon, and Multimedia Artboard. This unique opportunity for attending Hameau artists enables exploration of expensive fine artist quality materials for all mediums.

In 2007, after publishing her website, Susan was contacted by Jack Richeson & Co. and asked to sample and try their products. They have continued to support her workshops and retreats with brushes, Unison pastels and Richeson pastels, watercolor paints, papers, Grey Matters Paper Palette, and many other items to support teaching. Later that year, Susan was contacted by Gamblin Artist Colors to sample their beautiful oil paints. This led to Gamblin using an oil image of hers on their release advertisements for their new studio tubes of Radiant Colors. Susan was also involved in the testing and development of a new product, FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colors. This product has become a favorite for artists painting plein air at Hameau Retreats.
