Artists Network 2nd Annual Readers’ Choice Awards

The votes are in, and the results of the 2023 Artists Network Readers’ Choice Awards are now online! Featuring 56 categories from the best tools in oil, pastel, drawing, watercolor and acrylic media to the best outdoor easel and even an unsurpassed soap for artists—our Readers’ Choice Awards are a wish list for creatives at all levels.

With voting up by 16 percent this year, our fine art brand of publications (Artists Magazine, Watercolor Artist and Pastel Journal) engaged more than 500 art enthusiasts from around the world, all casting their votes on a plethora of creative essentials. Ballots featured a wide variety of brands (with more than a few write-ins from our knowledgeable readers!), allowing the Artists Network community to offer up its opinions on the diverse products it would use on any plein air, studio or classroom adventure.
