 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."

"After 40 years of outdoor painting, the LederEasel is just what I've been waiting for! It's lightweight, sturdy, and has a classy look! The LederEasel is versatile, making it perfect for artists of multiple mediums, and it packs easily to go from studio to plein air painting. I finally have the perfect easel to recommend to all my artist friends!"
