ARTISTS TIPS

There are so many products available today for the artist to use. If you are a beginning artist or trying a new medium, it can be very confusing. Nothing will replace exploring and experimenting with new products and ideas. The best advice I was ever given was to "try a little test sample first." I hope the following pages help make that exploration a little easier, and, for some, less scary. The sources used are my own experience and customer feedback.
