NEWMARKET — Surrounded by members of the town's government and business community, Pat Ryan-Perkins cut the ceremonial ribbon June 18, on her art supply store that she hopes will become a staple of a thriving downtown.
Art to Art, which opened its doors in April, has become the destination for those in need of watercolors, oil paints, acrylics, pencils, brushes, sketch books, journals and original art.

Art to Art has access to framing for those looking to accent artwork, as well as a gift section through Fair Trade, which offers uniquely crafted items. Patrons can special order any item they need, but can't find within the store.
Art classes are also offered by Ryan-Perkins, who specializing in watercolors, for those novices or beginners looking to enhance or discover a new creative outlet.
Ryan-Perkins said she is currently in the process of looking for a second space in Newmarket where she could hold her classes.
Ryan-Perkins said her goal for the store was to create a place where local area artists and art enthusiasts could network.
"There is a strong desire for culture and the arts in town," she said, "and the response so far has been really positive and encouraging."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday is the latest in a series of events designed to bring awareness to the town's burgeoning business district.
Town Council Chairman Michael LaBranche, was on hand for the ribbon cutting. He said similar events will be held at Rocky's Famous Burgers, Between The Bread, and E & T Barber Salon in July.
"There's a lot of diverse stuff going on in town," said LaBranche, "and it's good to see all of the different ventures opening up."
LaBranche said the increased business activity has helped to revitalize the downtown district by drawing a large number of visitors to the area.
"It's all helping the town to get back to where it was, but in a different format," he said.
Local business owner Mike Hoffman, who was also on hand for the ceremony, said Art to Art is a great addition to the town and another example of the downtown redevelopment providing a spark to the local economy.
"It's great to see Newmarket coming alive," he said.

I did it, I hope its OK, I havent had it proof read yet!
Pattie Ryan Perkins
watercolors plus!
Suggested supply list.
To start with, decent paper is most important! Montval, made by Canson is a good student grade, as well as professional.
I will give students an INITIAL discount of 20% This means when you get the first bulk of supplies, min. $40.00 total purchase.
I am doing this to compete with the on-line suppliers, because I think its important for people to know what they are buying, and to be able to touch it, look at it, etc. It is very expensive to start painting, so I am doing my best to make it affordable, and if you stay with painting, as you replenish supplies, you can go with the better pigments, etc.
Paints, PAN or TUBE
**Perm Alizarin Crimson *Lemon Yellow
**Ultramarine Blue *Cerulean Blue
**Perm. Sap Green *Hookers Green
**Cad Red Scarlet Lake
**Cad yellow Perm Magenta
**Yellow Ochre Cad Orange
**Sepia Cobalt Blue
The prices on some paints varies by series.** means most imp, *means sencondary, etc
Student grade watercolors sometimes have 2 series.
Professional paints have up to series 5 or 6. #6 Reason being, some pigments are very expensive and hard to get.
We will go over those kinds of things over time.
BRUSHES etc.
Brushes also vary in price, but there are many affordable sets, made out of synthetic materials. I have several of these personally, because my brush care is not that great!
Flat, a 1” to 2” flat is good to have for “washes”, skies, oceans, etc!
Then a large round is good, 16 round or larger.
A smaller round, any where from 12 round to 8 round.
Try to get brushes specific for watercolor. I will have a lot of items in the store, and will go over the different types.
If you have stuff at home, you are welcome to bring that in to the first class, before purchasing anything, and we will see what you can use.
I am definitely NOT trying to “up sell” products for the store, and only want you to start with what you need and you will know soon enough weather or not you will be painting for a long time!
PAPERS
There are way too many types of paper, so I will be specific here.
The usual paper that pro. Artist use, it the D'Arches, 140 pound cold press. This is sold by the sheet (22 x 30) for app. $ 8.00 a sheet.
You can get 4 paintings out of one sheet, that will matt a frame at app. 16 X 20. Break that down its only $2.00 per painting.
Then there is **Canson's Montval Paper. This is great paper cost wise, and it will work for the student or professional artist.
The Montval Paper is also 22 X 30, and cost about $3.00 a sheet.
You can buy this paper in pads, as well as “blocks”.
You should have s sketch pad, not too large, a couple of pencils, 2b and 2h. Gum eraser, or kneaded eraser. Masking tape, or artist tape.
Plastic container for water. Paper towels.
You should also have a collection of photos, or pictures cut out of magazines, Calendars etc., that you may want to attempt!
