I have wanted to make a video on the importance of paper and just how vital it is when creating our art, every bit as important as the pencils, paint, pastels or markers that we are using. Although I have created this video review, I think this has been by far my hardest video review to make however the written review is much more comprehensive. The only part I have had trouble with is showing the paper texture so I hope you are able to take something from this review.

Strathmore has always been my own personal favourite paper, it is a paper I trust and love the different grades and types of paper they provide. There are of course many other paper companies out there and this video will hopefully give you information about paper in general, information that can be transferred over to any paper company.

Donations

I am not comfortable adding this to my site or YouTube channel. I receive many emails and messages asking me how people can help support The Art Gear Guide, mainly I think due to the fact that I purchase all of the supplies myself, except those sent directly from companies kind enough to do so. I have decided to add a donations button to my site, however, I feel the best way to add such a campaign is as follows, all donations made will be used to purchase art products for review, however, all products purchased using donated funds, after they have been reviewed, will be used as giveaways to subscribers of the YouTube Channel, the web site or any of the above social media platforms. This way I personally will not benefit from financial donations. I have set this channel and site up for my own enjoyment and not profitable gain. I feel with this support method, everyone wins but not in a financial.

My Own Personal Art

I would not exactly call myself an artist in the true sense of the word, however I absolutely love art as it has helped me immensely dealing with clinical depression due to my battle with constant chronic pain and disability. Follow the link to check out my own projects http://bit.ly/2qAa7BN

Thank You

Finally, thank you so much for all of your support, without all of you, this channel and The Art Gear Guide would simply not be the same.

Thank you so much.
