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.

“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 canvas panels are a well-crafted product whose consistency and quality are extremely well suited for a permanent painting. In addition to a superior product, SourceTek’s service is exceptional and reliable. They have always allowed me to order custom-sized panels for which I am so grateful. SourceTek canvas panels are a staple of both my studio and plein air painting.”

“I’ve been using SourceTek linen panels for years now. Their panels are of the highest quality and their diverse selection of sizes and supports make getting any panel I need for any occasion — whether for in the studio or for a deep wilderness painting trip — time-saving and simple.

I never have to worry about the quality of materials or the workmanship that goes into these great panels, as they always meet my expectations.”

“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.”

“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.”
