For many years I used the Elegant Writer pen for calligraphy. But the last few years I have been using it for creating art work. Check out my blog on www.myelegantwriter.com Or just google elegant writer to see how many people are using the pen in various ways. It's fun and an inexpensive way to make art.

Masterpiece is absolutely fantastically prepared canvas! The surface is smoother than Fredricks Red Label, but not quite as smooth as their Blue label...right in between for a surface that can be used for detailed work effectively! The canvas support is incredible!They are very well made, and perfectly aligned, supported, and taut...just the way I like it! Big thumbs up for this brand of canvas!

I love these ChromaTemp paints. I use them on black panels because they are very opaque. For this purpose they are much better than acrylics which look great until the milky white binder dries and turns clear. Then you lose your painting.. The color range is very good and I find that they mix well enough for my purposes. I topcoat with UV Resistant gloss acrylic to help preserve the colors as temperas are usually not lightfast. So far so good! No fades.
