"Creativity takes courage."

My EasyL Versa Plein Air Easel and tripod have made painting on location so much easier! It feels like an outdoor studio once you are all setup. The pochade box holds a variety of sizes of canvases or panels that are transported by sliding them into the back of the box - 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16. If you wish to transport smaller or larger sizes in another wet panel or canvas carrier then many more sizes can be secured onto this easel with certain necessary adapters (i.e. bungee cords, etc.).
One other important item I was counseled to always bring is a thick piece of light colored fabric to lay down on the ground. This helps keep ants and other crawly creatures from crawling on your shoes and up your legs. YIKES!!! The light color allows you to see any moving creatures better. I use a reversible outdoor picnic blanket with an adjustable strap that is machine washable - Picnic Time Vista Outdoor Picnic Blanket! Living in Florida makes this an absolute necessity!
More about plein air supplies to come!
Enjoy painting! ... Peace
