SUSAN'S REVIEWS
Gamblin Artist Colors: "I absolutely love the luscious paint and the fine quality of all Gamblin's products. They are exclusively what I use in my personal work and demos, as well as what I recommend to my students."
Multimedia Artboard: "I’ve been using Multimedia Artboard for over 15 years...the Pastel Artist Panels are my surface of choice and what I recommend to my students. What drew me to it was its capacity to be wet without buckling. This durable light weight archival surface enables me to use expressive brush work in under paintings, and then apply many delicate layers of pastels without filling the tooth."
Art Cocoon: "The Art Cocoon has become essential to my art life. I use it for all mediums and multiple purposes. It is perfect for plein air painting, [and] protects art during transport...home or to my framer."
