Thank you. I was wondering how to set up this easel. Someone gave me this exact design and I could never figure it out. I spent a few how going over TH-cam videos.
Nanise Ginnen You’re welcome. Yes, it’s primarily to hold a smaller panel up high I believe. Look here too www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=550978
I have been searching lots. This system seems the most simple. Do you find that paint slips down with that angle of palette? I am used to a glass palette in studio. How about your solvent & medium mixtures? Really want to figure out an efficient system. Thank you for your time!! :)
Thomas Cheng my go to system is the “Open Box M”. It is a pochade box that mounts to a camera tripod. I would recommend that system if you can afford it. I use 12x16 size. This mabef m29 is good if you don’t want to spend a whole lot at first. It can also handle larger canvases and it’s good for working indoors and out. Yes, the paint may slide down a little bit with vertical palette. For thinner or mineral spirits I use a brush washer that has an air tight lid and it has a handle so you can hang it over one of parts of the easel. Hope that helps. www.matthewleestudio.com/
@@leedeparis Thank you for your reply Matthew! I live in Canada so certain boxes are more costly to ship here or not at all. I ordered a M29AL from my local store, so will see how that works out! Will try to clamp or add something to hold a palette flat as well if vertical is difficult for me. Appreciate your help! Happy Painting!
Thomas Cheng sounds great. Glad To help. You can just hold palette in one arm too- I did that for a while. This book was helpful to me when starting plein air painting www.amazon.com/Fill-Your-Paintings-Light-Color/dp/1581800533/ref=nodl_
Not the best for high wind. The key is the weigh it down in high wind. Hang a backpack or a bag full of rocks from underneath and it will be fine. A more sturdy easel in wind is the Take It Easel.
@@leedeparis I use it quite often...in fact using it for the present paintings indoors. It's good outside when there is less wind and stretched canvas is absolute no no. Only panels.

Great, I looked everywhere for a vid that showed how to use that mid panel and what it was for - thanks very much!

Thank you so much! ( :
it seems pretty sturdy. Is it sturdy enough in high wind?

+Matthew Lee Studio I finally booked this on amazon. it's pretty expensive in India. but I hope this is a good one for big canvasses outdoors.
How’s it going with easel?
