"At The Holdup", oil, 12" x 16"

Bill Anton

"I have always felt that an artist's time away from painting is time wasted.  SourceTek panels allow me a quick, reliable and high quality surface for outdoor or studio work."


"Roses Copper Pot"

Joe Anna Arnett

"For years, I made my own plein air panels by mounting oil-primed linen to Baltic birch wood, using acid-free adhesive. The process was time consuming, but the quality of the panel was superior to anything commercially available. SourceTek prepares their panels the same way. These beautifully crafted panels give me the quality surface I demand and save me precious hours of preparation time."


"Brandywine River", oil, 24" x 30"

Armand Cabrera

"SourceTek offers materials with the consistent high quality I demand as a professional artist.  Their archival panels are lightweight, sturdy and affordable, providing a worry-free solution for my outdoor painting needs.  Will and JoAnne run their business with honesty and integrity.  SourceTek is the only brand of panels I endorse."


Kathy Cooper

"I used to make my own oil-primed linen panels for cost and quality reasons.  I was thrilled to have found SourceTek panels.  They use the same archival quality materials to create a great product at a great price.  It is such a joy to spend my time painting instead!  I use them for studio painting and en plein air, and my students are enjoying these panels as well.  I recommend these panels for every oil painter concerned about quality painting products."


Gay Faulkenberry

"As a professional artist, having good quality materials is top priority. SourceTek canvas panels are the perfect fit for my outdoor work as well as many of my smaller works done in the studio. The linen canvas is what I've used for many years and knowing they are put together with care and quality craftsmanship is key.  It's exciting to see how SourceTek has grown and continues to expand their business to include a wide range of top supplies."


"Logan Pass", Oil, 20" x 30"  "Foxglove", Oil, 40" x 26"

Scott Burdick and Susan Lyon

"The people at SourceTek have been supplying artists like us with materials of the highest quality for so long that we imagine most galleries in the country have their panels and canvases hanging on their walls! We like their products not only because of how superior they are, but also because the people there are so nice and easy to deal with!"


Ralph Oberg

"These panels represent the quality in materials and workmanship that I have come to expect. I can now dedicate more time to my painting instead of making them myself."


Ch. Marianburg’s Mary Hartman

Constance Payne

"SourceTek panels are the closest a contemporary artist who values the historical legacy of painting can come to emulating the ideals of the past.  It is essential that I use the best linen surfaces, so their panels are the best solution for my work."


William F. Reese was one of the great artists of our time.  His painterly ability and magnificent sculptures inspired  many artists to strive to achieve their own distinction.  His giving and sharing presence will be deeply missed.  In Memoriam, 1938 - 2010.

Aspen Stand

William F. Reese

"Quality work cannot be made without quality tools and materials.  I highly recommend SourceTek's panels and Silver brushes - in fact their whole line.  With SourceTek you can depend on top quality, good prices and best of all, the second time you order you will be talking to a friend."


Matt Smith

"SourceTek offers the ideal artist panel combining portability, durability and permanence. Their quality, service and workmanship are second to none.  I’ve used these panels for years, both in the field and in the studio."


Don Stone, N.A.

"In my years of painting I have been in search of what SourceTek has come out with - the perfect canvas panels.  They use the same Claessens Belgian linen that I use for my larger paintings and mount it on a lightweight birch plywood, which makes the panels convenient for travel.  In my opinion this is the best canvas panel on the market today."


George Strickland

"A few years ago I did the math on how my time was best spent as an artist.  My conclusion was that I needed to concentrate my efforts on drawing and painting, not making materials.  I found, for instance, that quality ready-made panels like those from SourceTek cost me less than 1% of the price of a small painting.  It made sense then, and it makes sense now, to have professional grade panels made by professionals."


Curt Walters

"SourceTek canvas panels are a well-crafted product whose consistency and quality are extremely well suited for a permanent painting. In addition to a superior product, SourceTek’s service is exceptional and reliable as well. They have always allowed me to order custom-sized panels for which I am so grateful. SourceTek canvas panels are a staple of both my studio and plein air painting."


"Tangerines", oil, 30" x 27"

Morgan Weistling

"SourceTek panels are superior to anything else I have ever used. They are primarily talked about for plein air painting, but I am a figure painter and find them to be fantastic for portraits and figures and use them on many of my gallery paintings. I require them for my workshop students as well."


Wayne Wolfe

"When I studied with Robert Lougheed in Santa Fe, he stressed the importance of always being a pro -- in your attitude, in your integrity, and with your materials. For me to make my own panels is a waste of precious time. That's why I thankfully use SourceTek panels for plein aire painting. I have confidence in their professionalism."


Dan Young

"As a professional artist I look for top quality supplies that make my job easier.  SourceTek panels meet that need! The sturdy birch panels are an ideal companion with my paint box for working on location."
