MITRA ‘s is a public service for artists, educators, and
researchers. The website and forum accepts no advertisements and all of our
financial support comes from individual contributors. Art materials
manufacturers have also generously donated with the full understanding that the
forum will remain exclusively unbiased and objective in its recommendations.
If you are interested in the continued existence of an
autonomous and objective forum on artists’ materials and techniques or have
benefited from the advice given on this forum, please consider donating to help
our team maintain MITRA. Future plans for MITRA include conducting research relating
to commercially available substrates, analytical characterization of art
materials, and artificial ageing to corroborate and evaluate longevity and
preservation claims. Donors will be mentioned on the site unless they wish to
remain anonymous. Please send additional questions to Brian Baade (bbaade@udel.edu).
