More painting fun with USArt Supply! -Review


i was an art major in college and had to stretch my own canvas. It was always my least favorite part of the painting process. Now that my 10 year old daughter is interested in painting, i started looking for some inexpensive canvas for her to use. i don't think she's quite ready to be stretching her own. ;)


i wanted to find something that was decent quality and affordable. So i was really excited to have the opportunity to review some different art canvases by #usartsupply . The first set we received are the 16" x 20" stretched Canvas (5 pack). 




i really like these canvases. They are triple primed and ready to go right out of the package. They are put together well with wooden frames and the canvas is tight and stapled in place. i love this size, and that is comes in a 5 pack. This is a really affordable price for this size and quantity.



We also received the US Art Supply Stretched Canvas Variety Pack Square Assortment (20x20, 16x16, 12x12, 8x8, 4x4).  i love the different sizes in this pack, and can't wait to see my girl does with them.  i have a empty wall that is just waiting for some beautiful artwork! 

i've even been inspired to start painting again, and will be posting more about that soon.  i even started a painting on one of the 16" x 20" canvas, but ran out of white paint and haven't been out to pick some out.  i will this week though and will update on it.


My girl started this one the other night,She drew the Eiffel tower by looking at an image online and has been drawing the flowers and just starting to paint it.i'm so impressed with her creativity! She's planning to make painting for all her friends for the holidays this year.

i've purchased several products from #usartsupply over the last few months, and have been very impressed with their products. They offer a very nice selection of economy arts and crafts supplies at affordable prices!  Stay tuned for our painting update! 


i received these art canvases  in exchange for my honest opinion. i was not compensated.

100 colors!!!


We recently had the opportunity to review a set of 100 markers by #usartsupply.  They are an art supply company that specializes in affordable high quality  art supplies.  We've reviewed several products from them and are always very pleased with the quailty/price of their products.



We recently had the opportunity to review this set of 100 colors of Twin Tip markers. They contain a full color spectrum with no duplicate colors. They are acid-free, non-toxic, and water-based. They come in a nice display box so it's easy to pick your color and see the choices.  When i was a kid i would have thought i'd died and gone to heaven if i had a set of markers this big! :) 




The twin tip is awesome! One side has a 3.0 mm tip and the other side has a .7mm fine detailing  tip. 





These are great for coloring, drawing, and writing. i think it would be a great set of markers for anyone who loves to color and be creative. My daughter loves the array of colors and has been drawing with them every day. She's working on a picture to enter for the Norah the Piano cat Art contest. :) 




i received this product for free or discounted in exchange for an honest review. i was not compensated. My opinions are my own.  We love this set and think it is a fair price for the amount of twin-tip markers you get.

Painting with USartsupply (Review)


My daughter loves doing anything creative! She wants to be an artist when she grows up. :) We were recently given to opportunity to test out and review the "Super Solana" XLarge Desktop Easel by #usartsupply.  We've already reviewed some paints and brushes by #USartsupply , and were very happy with them!  They specialize in affordable arts and craft supplies.


The Super Solana" XLarge Desktop Easel is a really nice tabletop easel. The easel is solid beechwood, and feels very well made and durable. The wood has a soft natural finish and it's easy to clean paint off of it. My daughter claimed it immediately, and has been using it ever since it arrived.

It's a great size to set up on the table. She likes to stand while using it, but by adjusting the angle it would work great for sitting down too.




This easel also has a large drawer with three compartments in it, so you can store your paints and brushes. There are clasps on the drawer to keep it closed so it doesn't open when you are holding it by the handle. The easel adjusts to four positions and has a flip out shelf to hold the canvas.



It's portable as it has a handle on the top and clasps to keep it from coming open. It's a nice large size, but is not too heavy to carry. It folds up nicely, so it's easy to store. You can take it along and paint almost anywhere with this   She's been painting almost nonstop since we set it up for her. It's really perfect for her!




i'm so impressed with the paintings she has created this week! These are based on Animal Jam characters, but she drew them freehand and did all the painting herself.  She's already started a third painting.  i'm going have to go out this week to get her more canvas, :)  i couldn't be prouder.
