Darice 80-Piece Deluxe Art Set

The art set looked expensive. Sturdy wooden case containing all the tools needed for a young artist. My 8-year

granddaughter and I were very happy with it. Perfect for keeping everything in one place.

I received this set as a well meaning gift from someone who knew I was an artist thinking it would be the perfect gift for me. While the quality is definitely far below the quality I use and would buy for myself it isn't all that horrible either. Well, except for the brushes. Give the brushes to a young child to use with their watercolors and poster paints.

Generally, I use the watercolors and color pencils when I'm doing quick drawings and sketches to add a bit of color. And all the products on one thing or another when working out ideas so I'm not using up my better products at the idea stage of things. There are pieces I actually think of as finished art after using these products, along with other more expensive art supplies.

It's a rather nice set for a Junior or Senior High School student who is a budding artist as well as the beginning adult hobbyist. Not bad for the seasoned artist to use when working out ideas or to add color to quick sketches or doodles.

If you think buying this set at this price is going to give you the same sort of products like Prismacolor or Derwent pencils, Winsor Newton Cotman Watercolors, and Holbein Artist's Oil Pastel then you are madder than a hatter and residing on the wrong side of the looking glass.

Like the others mentioned, good quality, nice case, plenty of items in it. Got this for my 9yr old daughter who loves to draw and she's more than happy with it. I am a fairly picky buyer especially around quality on amazon products, and this certainly met the mustard. If you are a total art expert and require some very high-end or specific things, then maybe you're best buying your items at an art store individually... but for the rest of us this is great!

Definitely a great piece for a beginner artist!

Not as large, or as high quality as expected, but is WONDERFUL for the price!

Adams Easel Pads, 1 Inch Grid Lines, 35.25 x 27 Inches, White with Blue Lines, 2-Pack (EP927342)

Quality, value and unique features in an easel pad
White 15-pound paper on a sturdy cardboard backer
Marker holder, carrying handle and peg holes for hanging
Cardboard backer makes easel pad stable and easy to carry
1 inch blue grid lines

I bought this to use when drawing maps for my RPG group. The 1" grids mean this lines up with many of the current RPGs that use grid based combat. I am able to draw out maps before game day and then store in a cylinder mailing tube. On game day, I just pull the maps out of the tube and lay them flat on the table.

If you are drawing your maps in permanent marker like I do, you will only get 25 pages, not 50. This is because the count of 50 pages per pad assumes using front and back of each page. With permanent marker, this is not possible.

I had no issues with how the shipment delivered. No pages were bent or folded as I've seen some reviews talk about with other pads. I am very happy with this purchase.

As a turbonerd, I love to make giant maps for use of tokens/figurines during my roleplaying games, and this easel is perfect and a good price.

Majestic Royal and Langnickel Long Handle Paint Brush Set, Filbert, 7-Piece

I own a large variety of brushes ranging from Kolinsky sables for oils and watercolors, the Bob Ross Collection, the Terry Harrison Collection, and many others. I have been searching for an oil/acrylic brush set with a medium stiffness for control, but soft enough for beautiful detail without lines and scratchiness. I first tried the Royal Majestic line in watercolor brushes when they were handmade to order. I still use those brushes on a regular basis. They have never lost their shape. They do not shed nor fray, and have excellently made ferrules and handles. These have turned out to be just as great as the watercolor brushes. I am delightfully pleased. The price is excellent as well! Where else can you find a long handled brush, sizes 4 24 for under $35. This is a pack of seven a great range of sizes. They fit everything that I needed. I was not disappointed at all. I was totally impressed! By the way, to keep them looking nice when using acrylics and oils, clean then with Murphy's wood oil soap and water then dry them with TLC.

Bought 3 different sizes of these filberts recently from another source and am very impressed with the quality and how well they handle. World of difference between these and brush sets found in most craft stores. These are rated student quality (as in serious art major in college), but compare favorably to the expensive professional artist quality brushes. Very good choice for the artist on a budget.

There seem to be a lot of hair-losing, floppy, bad-edged brushes out there today. These are very springy, I'm not fishing hair out of my work constantly, and they are nicely cupped so they keep a nice edge. really, the beat I have seen in a long time.

Reeves Mini Easel 5 Inch

I purchased this item from Amazon a few days ago and when they came I found a couple of the sweeetest little easels that are just right for my ACEOs and other small paintings.I work on heavy watercolor paper and some very small wood panels. These easels make a wonderful combination for a table display of my work. The work seems perfect with no defects. I do recommend these easels to any artist that does small paintings. I also bought and like the following book. Collage Couture: Techniques for Creating Fashionable Art

We purchesed these to be part of the table center piece of a Baby Shower for twin girls. We placed small pictures of other twins and it fit perfectly for the table. The price was reasonable and quality was there. I didn't feel like I had bought something cheap and easly broken.

Not too much care in the manufacture. The top of one arm was split and the holes for the hinge peg were poorly drilled. Did not cost much, but would not use it. Also some of the saw ends were crooked.

Darice Lyre Easel

For any artist, this easel is easy to assemble and holds almost any size canvas you wish to paint. It gives sturdy support and requires little space in the studio.

The easel was delivered basically pre-assembled except for a piece and some hardware. This is my first easel and the only problem that I have is that there were no instructions to complete the assemblage of the product. I figured it out for the most part by looking at the picture on Amazon, but I still have a piece and some hardware left and it is not apparent in the photo where the part should go. For this, I will only give this product 3 stars.

I feel like I should know what to do since most of the work was done before shipping, but instructions would have been helpful nevertheless.

B. Toys Kids Flip Down Wood Easel/art Desk Combo In Espresso

I bought this for my son two years ago. The easel has a dry-erase side and a chalk-board side. The chalk-board side isn't done properly and is too smooth--chalk doesn't write on it. Also, it doesn't function well as a desk. When folded down to a desk it's too high for any child under 5 to sit and reach (the desk area is 24" high when folded down)--and any children's chair is too low for it. I tried stacking pillows for a few months, but it was difficult. Even as an art easel I had to set up a step-stool for my son--then 3--to reach it to paint. Also, the bins underneath make it uncomfortable to sit at as the child's feet hit the bins. And, there is a section of wood on the top of the easel that sticks up making it hard for kids to reach/put their arms down to color, etc. when it's folded down as a desk.

The dry-erase works great, my kids have had fun using that and the paper that rolls up over the top for painting. I primarily wanted to use this as a desk, with the added feature of the art easel and have been disappointed that I couldn't do that. I'm thinking about cutting a few inches off the bottom of the legs-removing the bins and the wood pieces that hold then, removing the extra wood piece on the top of the easel to make it more usable as a desk. It's annoying that I have to make so many modifications though.

Easel Sierra Aluminum Tripod by Art Alternatives

Very nice design, light weight, folds compactly. We found it a bit slippy, but we just wrapped each foot with a piece of a non-slip rug pad.

out of the box, the product seems to be built with high quality, totally a bargain for the price. The bag that comes with it is simply perfect.

Great value for the money. Three hangers here for the price of one elsewhere. Nice and sturdy.

This didn't fit the plate I bought it for the way I thought it would but it still looked good and was able to work. I've had several compliments on the plate and the display piece.

This is one of those items I wished I could touch before I bought. I is accurately described, but when you get it, there's this shiny sheen to it that reminds me of plastic. I expected the rod iron you would normally see, but it wasn't. Oh well. I would not recommend unless you plan on painting or putting far, far away.
