Just a quick note of thanks - my lovely new easel arrived today (that was fast!), just in time for a plein-aire drawing/painting day trip tomorrow with a group of friends to the Rhododendron Species Garden here in Washington state. I really didn't expect it to be here in time for the trip, so I'm doubly pleased!
Thanks again for everything!
All the best,
Susan

"Good morning.
I just wanted to drop your company a note of thanks.
My son is in the Air Force, currently stationed in South Korea. He has ordered a printing press and I understand you are going out of your normal shipping procedures to make sure he receives the item he wants. Your company gets my gold star for the extra effort you have put forth! Not all would bother.
Please pass this note among you there so all will know how much it means to me for someone to go outside the box to make something happen. Since he has been overseas he has found many who won't make the effort to do something to make his days a little more like home.
Regards,
Airman ...'s Mom"

"I can honestly say that this is one of the best online shopping experiences Ive ever had, and I purchase things online on a regular basis. I began my search for a half size box easel and decided on the Jullian, which is excellent by the way. Madison Art Shop had the best price
of all other merchants; I recieved an email immediately upon ordering, and another soon after telling me the item was shipped (all in the same day). I received my easel 5 days later and I love it. Thank you Madison Art Shop for an excellent shopping experience and an excellent product." Mike R., Youngsville, LA

"I found shopping with Madison Art Shop to be a pleasurable experience.
I purchased an artists floor lamp, and recieved confirmation of my order,an order number and customer service number in case of problems, which there were none. I recieved another Email telling me the lamp had been shipped, the shipping date, and when to expect it. It arrived on time, in good order, with instructions on how to ship back if needed. All in all, I was so pleased, I have since ordered other products from Madison." Janice T., Diamond Bar, CA

3/21/07

"This purchase allowed me to obtain art supplies and equipment that is exponentially more expensive where I live. A previous attempt at a similar purchase from another merchant led them to tell me to buy it locally, which is simply not an option considering the shocking difference in price. The amount of money I saved is truly ridiculous. The only thing that remotely irritated me is the brokerage fee for the importation but that is entirely not the fault of the merchant. The product itself is exactly as advertised and the options I selected were the ones I received. They got it right, they did it quickly and 80% of the money originally earmarked for this purchase is still in my pocket." Tim F P., Winnipeg, MB Canada

It was in great condition, made of wood, included a dozen acrylic paints, brushes and a pallet, all which could be stored in a built-in drawer. The receiver of this gift was also given a lesser quality kit made of metal, but was thrilled with the one I gave her more.

7/23/06

"...the Ian Robert's video was excellent. I'm an adjunct art instructor at... and I was impressed with his ability to simplify the process. It is almost identical to my approach to teaching. I did learn more effective ways for carrying and using materials from the video. I don't often paint outdoors but would like to do so more often.
I've liked Silverman since I first saw his book on oil, pastel and watercolor back in the early 80's as a kid. I like his unconventional and uninhibited approach to painting. Pure Watercolorists probably cringe at his approach, which makes me laugh. I had an instructor once who berated me for using mixed media with watercolor. For shame! And the way he paints in oils is just as unconventional.

...I might consider using them as a teaching aid if and when I have classes in those subjects. I primarily teach foundation drawing skills and figure drawing, but that will change overtime.

I have shown snippets of films from... videos to my students (obviously you can't watch the whole videos, they take up two hours of class.) and find it inspires them... The Library at my school has started purchasing DVD's because of the reaction to my using them as a teaching aid and some of the students have started purchasing the DVD's themselves.

So I am definitely enjoying the DVD's and find it a wonderful way to discover more about these wonderful artists and their unique approaches and techniques.

Thank You,

Stephen"

"Pretty impressive site! VERY convenient to navigate.

"This seller carries an item (ulta-small wooden manikins) that OUGHT to be available at ANY decent art supply store, only it was not. At Madison Art Shop I was able to navigate their site with ease, locate the item, make payment and receive shipment of the item within a very reasonable amount of time. This was all accomplished with excellent communication from Madison Art Shop throughout the process. They can count on my repeat business for similar purchases and I have now bookmarked their site as the FIRST place to go to for any item that might be a bit outside-the-ordinary. Thank You to Madison Art Shop for being a seller who understands how to create the experience of Internet commerce the way it is supposed to be conducted..."

" I ordered an easel from Madison Art Shop on a Saturday and it was confirmed immediately. I was notified of shipping on Monday and it was received on the following Friday. I could not be happier. The easel is all that I expected it to be and the price couldnt have been better. The best I could do in a local store was twice the price. Needless to say, I have told all my fellow painters about it and where I got it. Thank you." Nancy C.,

"...Thank you, thank you, thank you -- you, Beth and Tammy, for the excellent service you have provided to me! The last of my order (except the Leffel DVD) arrived today. I especially appreciate the fact that you folks regularly communicated with me about the status of my order... And thank you for sending your gorgeous business cards. If I had even more, I'd pass them all out to my artist colleagues. The ones you sent, along with the highest recommendations, will go tonight to my artists friends at the Columbia Museum of Art where we gather to paint from models on Tuesday evenings...

Again, many thanks for such great service from all of you at Madison Art Shop!

Gratefully,"
