"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."

"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."

"When working outdoors, I look for materials that will help make the experience easier. SourceTek canvas panels are, for me, the perfect choice  They are the most superior support I have painted on bar none! These canvas panels are a joy to use.  They are  lightweight, durable, and have a lovely neutral tone with just the right amount of texture for any kind of possible brushwork.  I recommend these panels for every plein-air painter."

John Hughes

"In my opinion, SourceTek panels are the best quality out there!  The convenience of this product along with the texture, durability and archival quality are unsurpassed."

"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!"

"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."

Charles Pruitt

"I have been making my own panels since 1976, but have found SourceTek's products to be more economical and reliable with better quality and workmanship than the panels I made. I appreciate the fast service."

Don Reed

"I have been painting in various mediums for over thirty years. About a year ago I switched exclusively to oils. I now paint every day and as much as I can en plein air. I searched around for the perfect support for both my studio and my plein air work and after trying many different canvas panels I found SourceTek. SourceTek not only makes a superb product, the people are helpful and they ship the products quickly. Thanks, SourceTek, for helping to make my paintings look great."

"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."

"SourceTek panels are superior to anything else I have ever used. They are primarily talked about for plein aire 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 aire 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."
