RTX420/Watercolor

RTX240/Pastel

Mary Ann Boysen

 

"I loved working on the board, It is very forgiving. I personally love this surface because it feels like velvet when you are brushing across it with a loaded brush, It has great "lifting" qualities too."

Diane Perry

"I've finished an 8 x 10 watercolor (see attachment) on one of your watercolor boards and I love it.  I really like how long the surface stays damp and how smooth the washes come out.  I had a much easier time painting on this surface than another company's watercolor board I've tried in the past.  My next project is going to be on the 16 x 20 w/c board.  Thanks for a great product...I'm sold!"

I cannot praise your panels enough. They are better than any other I've worked on, the other pastelists tried them and were also impressed. I was able to paint in Monet's garden on the spot. I worked on your 8x10 panels, these were easy to pack up."

RTX240/OIL

RTX280/300/Color Pencil

Ellen Dreibelbis

"I really Loved them! The surface was so inviting I had a hard time deciding whether to do an oil or pastel. I drew the under drawing in charcoal and found that it erased cleanly (something that doesn't happen with some of the other sanded surfaces). I have never used a sanded surface for oils but found it worked fine. I use synthetic brushes (Robert Simmons Titaniums) as I use water soluble oils. The surface held up just fine in water, by the way, no buckling or change of texture. I just loved the thickness of the board - Light but sturdy enough to use alone on an easel without backing. Also loved the grey color! Beautiful. The painting I did was of a small Tibetan child and the grey worked well with the skin tones and as a light background color. I would be happy to recommend this quality product to other artists."

Gary Schira

"This product is unlike anything I have ever painted on. My colors blend so softly and come out so vibrantly it is unbelievable. I can get crisp detail on my paintings that I cannot get on canvas without layers and layers of gesso. I also love the way my paintings glow under light! The quality of my work and prints have tremendously improved because of it. With an overall increase in inspiration and total art sales the RTX280 is first choice in my studio. I would highly recommend this superior Oil Panel to any and all artist!"

Holly Bedrosian

"I just finished another piece using colored pencil on the RTX280 Panel you sent me. The 280 is similar to other sanded surfaces that I have used, but I really like how the thickness of the panel prevents warping, and the surface is so fine. I look forward to trying the other two you sent!"

"Rtistx Pastel Board is the most responsive board I've ever painted on in pastel."

Mark Menedez

"The RTX300 is the sturdiest, most effective archival surface available for color pencil. It offers brilliant color, and limitless layering and burnishing."

"The RTX420 is a wonderful board for both professionals and students. With a few light strokes and half the amount of water, there is a fluid dispersal of pigment like no other. "
