Description

I built this easel for the adventurous painter. I have struggled to find an easel that isn’t bulky with unnecessary moving parts, while at the same time being a reasonable price. This easel folds up small to fit in a typical backpack, but you’re not limited to painting small! It is lightweight but rigid. It is perfect for throwing in your suitcase or backpack before going on a hike or trip. I wanted it to stand on its own as a piece of art, but also be highly functional and simple. This is the easel and palette I’ve dreamed about; lots of mixing space, lightweight and small, capable of supporting larger canvases.
