Gamblin Artist's Oil Colors, Tubes

Merrill's Stance- I think that Gamblin is the all-time value in pigment today. You will recieve high quality paint and you will not have to take out a loan from the bank, go on an all Ramen nutrition or sell a kidney to buy it.

Prismacolor Art Stix

Merrill's Opinion- I ONLY use the Prismacolor Art Stix colorless blender. i dont really utilize the other sticks (Stix) too ofttimes. I prefer the thinner color pencils for my particular work. The blender is a wax stick made with the same folder as Prismacolor Colored Pencils. The blender blends the color flawlessly and creates gradual tonal and chromatic transitions. It is an invaluable tool! They measure out three¼" × ¼" (82 mm × half-dozen mm) and can be sharpened to a point for detailed work.
