This section of the American Artist website is a valuable resource for learning the recommended uses of art supplies, solving technical problems, discovering new art materials, defining terms, and avoiding problems other artists have confronted. The website allows you to read questions posed by other artists or to submit your own questions. In both cases, American Artist has arranged for experts in the appropriate fields to answer those questions.

The list of Q&A Topics to the right will guide you to questions about the use of specific materials. The text below gives you a summary of those questions and answers.

All these resources are being brought to you by Savoir-Faire, Inc., importers and distributors of some of the finest paints, brushes, papers, pastels, charcoal, pens, pencils, inks, and equipment for artists (www.savoirfaire.com).
