"If you like to paint large work outdoors like me, this easel really comes into its own."
If you like to paint large work outdoors like me, this easel really comes into its own. It is easy to set up and lightweight, and takes large canvases and boards very securely. The design with the pegs, and hooked rod let me paint all the way up to the edges of my support. As I also like to work from a large palette for mixing my colours, the palette support bars provide support for a large palette.
I really like this easel with its large footprint for painting. In windy conditions, my paintbox on the palette support bars provides enough weight to keep everything from blowing over. When working on large supports, in especially windy conditions, I can I bungee my backpack to the palette support bars for extra stability.
Having tried other types of easels, I like that this classic design has no fiddly bits to break or get lost. Set up and take down takes only a minute or two.
And with all the new improvements on this classic easel, I just had to acquire the new upgraded "Kearns Model" version.
