Gamblin Refined Linseed Oil 2 oz. Bottle

Gamblin Refined Linseed Oil 2 oz. BottleAfter several years of trying countless different linseed oils, I finally found this oil to give your paint a nice, even 'flow' while not thinning them to a watery, too loose consistency. Whether I mixed this with another medium or solvent, the oil maintains its quality and has given good results in my painting. I have always found it difficult to strike just the right products to help me achieve the painting effects I wish, but this brand of oil has solved that problem. The low price just adds to it's superiority, making it a definite worth to try.

This oil medium will last any painter an extremely long time. It is great quality and a great price!

Art Advantage Mini Easel Acrylic Paint Set

Art Advantage Mini Easel Acrylic Paint SetI use the easel daily. Love it. The paints, not so much. I prefer working with the paints from my other sources instead of these. They are a little too thick for my acrylic tastes. The palette is wood, so I'm afraid of ruining it, and warping it, so I don't use it. The brushes are great, pointy brushes. Definitely worth the price.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my niece and she loved it! She's in her art kick and this was one of the gifts she wanted to open and use right away!

Didnt use the easel due to the previous reviews about it using a lot of the paint. Instead, I used a paper plate. The brushes were okay but bristles did come out. I expected this as well due to the previous comments that made me aware. Other than the obvious, it was good. I was able to paint a beautiful Nemo like fish under the sea for my nephew's room.

Wire Folding Easel 24""-Green

Wire Folding Easel 24''-GreenRecommend to anyone planning to put this outdoors; buy a more substantial one. Disappointingly "wimpy" when placed on our grandson's grave.

The stand worked for my purposes but I was hoping for something a little more study. It is worth it to pay a little more and get a bigger sturdier stand.

Torino Aluminum Easel by Martin Universal

Martin Torino Aluminum Artist EaselThis easel was simple to set up. It only took a few minutes. The weight is light and perfect for me to move from room to room. Easel will totally collapse without taking anything apart. Only weighs 5 lbs. The Martin Torino Aluminum Easel is just right for a small space!

ITEM WAS ACTUALLY NICER THAN THE DESCRIPTION. IT ARRIVED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SELLER AGAIN.

I was searching for an easy to use, heavy enough, easily portable plein air easel. My first use was on a windy day next to the water. I had no problem with the easel blowing over and my canvases stayed firmly attached. What a pleasure. It was easy to raise and retract. Great buy!

I bought this to use at home and outdoors. It is sturdier than it looks in the pictures, so I added one of my own. I would definitely recommend this. However, I do not paint on VERY large canvases, but I think it would be fine. Easy to assemble and adjust. Great product. I just read the other reviews and am very surprised. This easel IS very sturdy and the parts work very well. The knobs are easily tightened and loosened...sorry you got a bad one, but mine is great.

The Turino Easel is lightweight and very durable! I am a traveling artist and pack up this easel every week. It is easy to set up and take down taking only seconds. And light weight too! Weighs less than my purse! lol!! It's also a perfect size accommodate those masterpieces or smaller paintings and drawings. I also use it in the studio. It's tripod stance is sturdy and firm to handle any medium you are working in. It also has a vertical span that can accommodate big canvases too.

From studio to travel, and price to ease of use & quality; this easel is a perfect choice!

Universal® Recycled Easel Pads

Universal® Recycled Easel Pads
  • Binding - Strip
  • Binding Edge - Top
  • Ink Color(s) - Blue/Red
  • Pad Type - Easel
  • Paper Color(s) - White

I had recently purchased a standard easel online from another company and needed an easel pad for it. When the easel pads (2-pack) arrived I realized they were too big. I had to cut off the bottom of each pad several sheets at a time to make them fit the easel. Worse yet, the holes at the top of the pad were not lined up correctly with the pegs on the easel, so I had to use a utility knife to scrape and cut the holes to make them fit the easel pegs. I'm a workshop trainer and need my materials to look professional. Having to make so many alterations to these easel pads caused them to look tacky. In the future, I'd pay more to get a better product.

Art Advantage Wood Palette Value-Pack With Free Brushes and Knives

Art Advantage Wood Palette Value-Pack With Free Brushes and KnivesThe brushes are decent enough as well are the paint knives, but the palette itself is kind of a bummer. The wood is really porous and dry. The first time I used it I barely got about 10 strokes on the canvas before I had to mix up more paint. If you buy it, I recommended giving it a couple of coats of spray paint before using it otherwise it'll soak up most of your oil/acrylic paint.

Alright for the price if your a bit industrious.

There isn't really much I can say about it. Its really nice, and bigger than the cheap ones that I was using before. Also is easier to mix the paints with this too. Compared to what I used to do that is. Also the brushes are nice.

This thing will suck up your paint as soon as you put it on. Definately need to use foil on it. To bad. Also the brushes hair fall off quick as you work with them. Good for kids just intrested in dabbling with art stuff.

Art Advantage Right Hand Mannequin

Art Advantage Right Hand MannequinIn my opinion, all hand mannequins with the typical two joint thumb are largely useless. With out the joint where the thumb meets the wrist, you end up with an ornamental decoration rather than a useful art tool. If you just want something artsy to put on a shelf to class up your pad or studio, this works great. It is made of nice clear grained wood and acceptable varnish finish. The base has a felt disc so it won't scratch anything.

All of the of the "Art Advantage" hand mannequins I've seen on Amazon fit the "two joint thumb" description.

To illustrate the limitation, make a fist with your own hand...thumb on the outside like you're going to punch something....see that, the two jointer's can't do that. Now, make a fist with your thumb tucked inside your fingers. That it will do. Now, note how the base of your thumb is pinned against your hand. That is the fixed position of these mannequins.

The joints where the fingers meet the palm cannot be rotated despite appearing to be ball joints. Attempting to rotate them will result in the sound of wood starting to crack. So you cannot spread the fingers into any natural hand positions other than that of the retail photo used for the listing. They just "sprout" straight out of the palm and a are fixed.

It may be possible to peel away the felt to access the mechanism to loosen the spring that holds the fingers to facilitate spreading the fingers, but I haven't messed with it since the thumb is beyond help.

Bought this locally at the art store. The photo as shown in this product listing looks like the one in the store. I was able to return it.

It works fine for basic poses. However, the fingers/thumb has a limited range in motion. If you wanted to make a tight fist, you can't do it with this mannequin. If you wanted to do sign language handshapes as models to draw upon, this mannequin falls short.

My advice, go to your local art store and try out a couple of poses you want to model.

Probably should be less than 3 stars because the pinky finger broke off after moving it 3 or 4 times. But seeing as how I'm gluing all the fingers in certain spots anyways 3 stars is appropriate in my case.

Martin Universal Rolling Rivera French Sketch Box Easel

Martin Full Size Rivera French Sketch Box Roller-Style Wooden EaselThe Easel is ok. Nothing special I see here for the extra 50 bucks. it is lightweight. But that also means it is not as rigid as you would think.

I bought it for my wife. She is still painting on the table. If you never put it on the wheels you can use it on a table top

I guess thats a bonus.

Added 4/14

With the wheels on you can still use it on the table. Just hang the wheels over the edge.

I purchased the Martin Rivera rolling wooden easel and sent it back. The quality is very poor and very rough wood (no sanding or finish). However the main problem is that the wood was split in many places on the top of the easel case where screws were screwed into the wood. One split was 4 inches long. Also the design is somewhat different than the picture on Amazon which was the same picture on the carton. The pictures show four metal connectors at the four corners on the bottom of the easel. these might have reduced the wood splitting but were not part of the easel. Also the four screw holes pre-drilled to receive the wheel unit were located on an angle and also too high to use if one assembled the unit and would require additional holes drilled. I returned the defective easel and purchased elsewhere for $40 less and was very similar design French sketch box but it is well finished (sanded and oiled) and no split wood.

Guerrilla Painter 10-Ounce Brush Washer

Guerrilla Painter 10-Ounce Brush WasherJust what I was looking for! This is a great little travel sized brush washer for painting on location. The name "Guerrilla" really fits. It feels tuff as nails... Very solid and well made. I'll probable wind up using it in my studio as well since it takes up very little space. It's about the size of a can of Campbell's soup so don't expect a great big thing. I Highly recommend this product!

While I usually alternate between a couple of larger brush cleaner containers with DIY aluminum coils for regular home use, this little "Guerrilla" is perfect for field trips. I will caution you that the 3 sealing clamps are very tight to release and close. While this is a "good thing" because it is what makes it leakproof; you do have to be careful to hold the container steady so that you don't slosh turps on you when you are opening or closing. Or perhaps I just received one with extra tight clamps?

It closes properly and tightly so that is nice.

The handle came off after the second use and it is hard to put back on for it to stay,

The quality is very good, Therefore, I like ti alright, only the handle is a bad one.

18 Fine Art Paint Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolors -Long Handles

18 Fine Art Paint Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolors -Long HandlesThis set is cheap, but I don't think it is worth it. After the first use, the paint on the handles started to come off. At every wash, the paint chips away. And one of the small brushes that is supposed to be pointy has split in the middle, so I cannot get a clean line. I think there are better value brushes out there than these.

Have used these a few times, for the price you can not beat this deal.No hairs fell out when using (like "cheap" brushes have happen) color spreads evenly with the paint.I'm buying more and keeping them handy.

I got these a little while ago, and when they arrived I first noticed how long they are, which is nice for acrylic painting. Then when I started using them, I found them to be great quality for the amount I paid. A lot of inexpensive brushes shed hairs everywhere, but that hasn't been a problem so much with these. Also, the variety of sizes is a big bonus. If you need a starter set of brushes, I highly recommend these.

Dollhouse Miniature Artist's Easel and Palette

Dollhouse Miniature Artist's Easel and PaletteI am using this as my cake topper. It wasn't that well made. It's crooked and the painting is also crooked. The back pole is too long and the painter's pallet is huge compared to the easel. I made it work, but if I had a dollhouse, I don't know if I would have liked this very much for it because it is so crooked.

Post-it Self-Stick Easel Pad, 25 x 30.5 Inches, 30-Sheet Pad (2 Pack)

Post-it Self-Stick Easel Pad, 25 x 30.5 Inches, 30-Sheet Pad
  • Sticky self-stick easel pads.
  • Self-stick sheets stick firmly without damage to most walls; no need for tacks, tape or other fasteners.
  • 30 sheets per pad.
  • Perfect for training sessions, brainstorming sessions, meetings and presentations, this sticky self-stick easel pad has premium paper
  • Post-it® Notes, what did you ever do without them
  • Post-it Easel Pads can make every meeting a great meeting.
  • The repositionable adhesive sticks to more surfaces longer than other easel pads and without an awkward liner.
  • Premium white paper resists marker bleed-through
  • Conveniently designed with universal slots to easily attach to most easel stands

In general, these are great. The paper is thick enough that markers do not bleed through to the next page.

My only complaint is that the pad came to me folded in a box. Thus, all the pages have a nice crease across the middle. If I were using this paper for a professional presentation, I would have send it back.

In response to older reviewsmy paper came with no folds or creases. Very nice out of the box. Product is as others have saida large sheet of easel paper with post-it adhesive along the top. My only real issue is the priceThese should be about $0.20 per sheet when ordering in quantity, not $0.70 per sheet.

The product itself is a great product for presentations, and we use them all the time. So my 4 stars is based on that.

With that said, the packaging this came in was terrible just two cardboard sheets taped over the pads, resulting in the pads having several pages damaged. Needed them the next day or I would have asked for an exchange. Odd because my little Post-It tabletop flipchart (which appeared to come from the same Amazon warehouse) was packaged superbly.

I use these as part of my job gathering requirements for software design and development. They allow for brainstorming with the users and then transport back to the office to stick up on the wall to transfer into electronic design software. I like these over electronic data gathering as it's easy to delete ideas on a computer, but on paper, they are all still there for review. Some things are still best gathered on paper.

Was very happy with these self stick easel pads. They seem to hold up very well (as expected from 3M) and didn't leave any marks on the walls.

Additionally the sharpie color markers did not bleed through the paper. I would still be a little nervous writing on this with a marker unless the paper is on the bad in case there was any bleed to the wall (which is why i gave it 4/5)

the only other complaint I have is that the "pad" doesn't stand up without flexing without an easel. I wish (for storage) it could sit up in a portrait and the cardboard backing was strong enough (think enough) to prevent the flex. This is a very very minor issue and just causes an issue while traveling.

Another feature I'd like to see is some sort of larger rubber band to prevent the pages from flopping around in the wind, it would be cents to include a clip or rubber band with the pad, something I had to scrounge around to find when we were using this outside with an easel.

would recommend to anyone looking for this type of product. Assuming you are buying for business, spend your money on the 3M product instead of getting a generic.

Crayola Dry Erase Board Set

Crayola Dry Erase Board SetThis is a basic white board, but instead of markers it comes with crayons. They can be easily removed from this and other white boards with the enclosed eraser cloth. The crayons make dark, rich markings on the board and on regular paper. It does not have the yucky white board eraser smell. So far, it has washed off our clothes and a blanket in the regular wash, although it is not labeled as "washable". My 2 year old son has fun with these, and it is light enough to be portable. We especially enjoyed this on a recent plane trip.

Got this for my 5 year old for a long car ride...hope its not warm..crayons got very soft with just a little bit of heat! Very messy, leaves a flakey mess that will not come off leather seats. Stick to the Dry-ease markers!!

My 2 year old got this for her birthday. She regularly colors it in from top to bottom, she loves the thing. Then she brings it to me to clean up. The included glove is better at removing the crayons from the board than a paper towel, but still makes me work up a sweat and gives me a great upper body workout. Then she colors it in again... and the process repeats. I noticed the black is almost impossible to get off, the blue is much easier. So, I hate this thing... she loves it.

Update: So, while the glove that comes with it is absolutely useless, Clorox wipes take all the crayon right off. So, we now clean it up with those. Problem solved and the kids still love this thing.

I got a set of these crayons awhile back because my daughter said that she had wanted some but I didn't think that they would be worth it. I was wrong! I am a teacher and I use them almost everyday in my classroom. They are very easy to use and they do wipe right off (sometimes if I press too hard I may have to use a little elbow grease to get the crayon off but I have never not had the crayon come off).

So I bought this for my daughter and she loved them too! She likes to pretend she is a teacher and this is a great and cheap product. Plus it helps her to practice her writing (she is 4).

I love it and would have given it 5 stars except it does leave a slight greasy residue that is hard to write over if you use anything other than the crayons (i.e. dry erase marker) and some of the colors are really light for a whole class presentation but if it is single use it is not so bad.

My daughter requested a dry erase board for CHRISTmas this year. After reviewing the numerous reviews I must say I was a little hesitant to purchase this particular product. My daughter is 8, and she loves to play school and doodle in the car..I will share both dislikes and like so you will have the pleasure of making a sound decision on this product. Dislikes.....these boards are small, almost like a 5x7 picture frame, crayons come off on hands and will come off on anything they touch, wipes to clean boards really don't do it very well...baby wipes are better, there is a black board and white-the black board is extremely hard to clean and doesn't show up very well, crayons wear down easily, no place to hand on walls or such must hold.LIKES....great for the car (considering the child is old enough not to touch anything else)If this product were bigger I think older kids would enjoy it more. I would only recommend it as a car essential for older kids in hopes they were still into hangman or tic tac toe.I recommend going to the store and looking at this product before you buy it!!
