All Things Strathmore Podcast
Our Marketing Manager, Sara Prentice, recently sat down with the hosts of The Sharpened Artist Podcast to talk all things Strathmore paper.
The Sharpened Artist was created by John Middick as a resource for artists to gain useful information about materials, techniques, art businesses, and fundamental skills to become an artist on your own. John spent years deep-diving into the medium of colored pencil, gaining as much useful knowledge as possible. His goal is to save other artists all the time and effort of learning about art by sharing everything relevant he's already learned in one place.
