NAMTA

Many of you have asked me "what is NAMTA"? It is a huge expo of Art Suppliers showing off all their art supplies to the art stores from around the world.

Many of the art material companies will show of their new products of 2023. 
Holbein the art product company that I work with this year introduced 2 new watercolor palettes, pictured below. This palette has removable trays for each color. I will have this palette available on my website in comings months.

I work with Holbein and I work with Legion Paper and I demonstrated to the store buyers to show them all that can be done with all the different paints and pencils on all the different papers.

There is no consumer buying in this expo so I can't buy any new products, but it is like a huge candy store for artists like myself to see what I can buy in the next couple of months in the stores that is new.
