Need an easel for your artwork in the studio or en plein air? This easel that is lightweight, sturdy, simple to setup! Constructed from strong yet lightweight aluminium panels on an aluminium tripod. Proudly made in Australia, designed by artists for artists! This is the result of a 4 year design project and I love just love my easel! Watch the YouTube video on setting the easel . When set up and ready to paint, clip or tape your paper onto a waterproof backing board. I use 2mm Corflute. (Coreflute is like a plastic cardboard super light and very rigid from Bunnings) Clip the Coreflute board onto the upper section of the easel. So light, simple and uncomplicated. If you prefer to use a watercolour pad or are painting on a canvas, just clamp them onto the upper section of the easel. When travelling, sandwich you papers between 2 sheets of Coreflute 32 x 42 cms and then clip the two easel panels onto the outside of the 'sandwich' and pack in your back pack and you are good to go! ​ Excellent quality tripod with self adjusting feet for all terrain.
