"I have been using the services and products of SourceTek for some time, and have always found the experience very satisfying. The quality of their canvas products is excellent, and SourceTek is always willing to go the extra mile to see that I’m happy and remain a satisfied customer. Their attention to personal needs is beyond what you will find in any other company dealing with these types of art products, and I have developed a great and trusting relationship with the folks there. I would definitely recommend other artists and friends give SourceTek and their products a try."

"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."

"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."

"SourceTek provides a top notch product and first rate customer service. I have relied on these beautiful Claessens linen panels for both studio and outdoor painting for many years.  The lighter weight Gatorboard panels are ideal for travel.  I highly recommend these high quality panels as well as the Silver Brushes.  JoAnne and Will consistently deliver expert craftsmanship, and are so easy and friendly to work with!"

"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."

"It is all about time. For years I prepared my own painting surface. I started out on Masonite panels, graduated to stretching linen, and then began mounting canvas on board. Each process took time. When I discovered SourceTek I was overjoyed. No sawing, no glue and no waiting... what a relief! The best part is that their oil primed linen panels on Baltic birch are far better than what I could make. It’s all about time!"

"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."

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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Before these professional archival panels were available, I made my own panels using oil primed linen.  I know the time, materials and cost incurred making a quality panel.  It makes sense for me to paint and have the experts at SourceTek make the panels.  I use the Premium Lines 66 and 13 for my plein air and studio work.  I have come to depend on SourceTek for top notch service as well as the quality products they offer."

"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."

"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 air painting. I have confidence in their professionalism."

"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."
