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."
