Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your videos and helping out other artists. this is incredible. i am beginning my plein air journey, and this has helped a lot.
I wish this had been available 10 years ago when I started Plein air. Might I suggest a category for which easels work best for which medium? I paint watercolor Plein air, so use blocks instead of panels and often much larger format. So certain easels or styles lend themselves better to that (Strada watercolor or Mark II, Plein Air Pro, CupEasel, etc.). Then again, big clamps make any pochade a watercolor easel. 😊 Thanks for all this research!
Wow!!! This is great! I am going to grab your list because when I get through my art classes I want to do plain air painting. (or that's the goal right now). I use an Artristic Easel right now. I only paint indoors and my "studio" such as it is, has to share space with my day job office. The Artistic gives me a great tripod along with the ability to move the canvas as I paint. Eventually I will look at pochade boxes that may also work with that tripod. Thank you for such great info!!!
Definitely check out the list and I hope it helps. It is always good to have different easels for different situations. It sounds like you have a good fit for what you do now. Getting a more mobile set up will be great for when you venture outdoors to paint.
Thank you so much for having all of this brought together in one document. The thought of having to sort through the iffy easels, to watch more videos to figure out the worthwhile ones was making me want to hide in a corner. 🥴
Absolutely :) Happy to help. You are right about the overwhelming amount of information. The point is to be out there painting not stuck on the web. I'm glad it helped a little.
This is so helpful. I truly appreciate your spreadsheet!!! I think I found my first plein air easel!!!!
YESS! I LOVE hearing that. Thanks so much :)

Spreadsheet is so helpful! Thank you!
Wow! Really great spreadsheet! Lots of things to think about. I have a U-Go, an Alla Prima and an Easy-L. There are things I like about all of them.
Thanks for checking it out and watching my video. Yeah, those are all awesome easels! It's great they all have their perks.

who makes the black metal pochade box briefly shown in your excellent and informative video? thanks
The black easel I have is called the day tripper by the Prolific Painter. Great easel!
