If you don’t use an ad-blocker, you may have noticed this site doesn’t have traditional advertisements anymore. I previously had a few through WordAds, hoping the site could help pay for itself. Unfortunately, I received a pop-up ad on my own website! That wasn’t supposed to happen, so I just removed them. One exception is that you will see some Amazon affiliate links – ads I specifically built to fit in the right context. You can see an example below. As long as they aren’t too annoying, they can stay.

If you’re interested in supporting Amdall Gallery, there are plenty of ways to do so. The Store is probably best if you wanted to help keep the site running, since you would get something tangible out of it too. Thanks for visiting and I hope you’ve enjoyed it!

Utrecht Studio Series Oil Paints
by Armdog on December 8, 2022 at 2:16 am
In my other online life outside of writing reviews, I’m an amateur portrait artist. In the past, I mostly used colored pencils. But recently, I’ve started trying to learn oil painting. I’ve done just over 20 paintings now, and have used four different brands of student grade paint. Paint brands typically have different tiers, but most offer at least one higher level artist grade and a lower level called student grade. Because I’m an amateur, I use exclusively student grade paints. I’m still trying to learn the ins and outs…

Adjustable Proportional Divider and Art Caliper
by Armdog on November 16, 2022 at 2:09 am
I just recently learned of these proportional dividers from a video by “The Paint Coach” Chris Fornataro. All this time, I’ve been using a ruler and multiplying the measurement in my head to help with portrait proportions. Yet this incredible solution had been sitting here the entire time! Well, regrets aside, I’m glad I finally got to use one of these things. As of this review, I’ve used it for three paintings and it’s helped a ton. My video review is much more useful in this case, because you can…
Steam Deck
by Armdog on July 29, 2022 at 1:56 am
This is a review I have been waiting a lot time to have the opportunity to write. Years ago, I starting using a video game controller made by Valve called the Steam Controller. Over time, I came to rely on the Steam Controller for any game that used keyboard and mouse inputs. I wrote a detailed review on the Steam Controller, but unfortunately reading it isn’t valuable outside of nostalgia, because Valve discontinued the device. It was long rumored that it was discontinued because Valve was designing its next iteration,…
Jisulife Portable Handheld Fan
by Armdog on July 27, 2022 at 8:09 pm
During a recent extended trip, our group purchased several of these portable fans made by Jisulife. We actually didn’t all plan on buying the same fan, but three of us all gravitated towards this one on Amazon due to the price and excellent reviews on Amazon. The fan folds into itself for portability and is roughly the length of a smartphone with the thickness of a small flashlight. The blades are a flexible plastic and are pretty safe – the fan stops automatically when it hits something. The fan has…
Neekfox Lightweight Travel Backpack
by Armdog on July 27, 2022 at 4:39 pm
In advance of a recent lengthy trip that would involve extensive outdoor walking, I set out to find a good lightweight daypack. Essentially, I was looking for an ultra light weight bag to haul around some necessities like a water bottle or two, portable fan, some small kids toys, passports, and various other small odds and ends. Basically, I needed a bag that wouldn’t add much weight to that load, but also had plenty of pockets and storage spots. I purchased and returned several more expensive options before getting my…
