The Take-It-Easel is the only portable art easel (plein air easel) that provides support versatile for the supplies for many mediums at accessible working height. It can hold a painting up to 48" tall and even wider, yet it weights only 8 lbs. and folds down to a bundle in less than a minute. An attached shoulder strap makes for hands-free carrying.

The Take-It-Easel may be the last easel you
will ever use!

Take-It-Easel is our revival of the Andersen easel, introduced from Northern Europe in the early 1900s. Renamed the Gloucester Easel and made popular by Emile Gruppé and the Gloucester School of Painting, it was the answer to their need for a stable easel for painting in windy conditions along the uneven rocky New England coast.
