Hi everyone,
I've begun to take my students out for plein-airs more frequently in the last few months, particularly with a student who flew in to Singapore to have art lessons with me.
All this time I've been using a flimsy "twiggy" easel all this time, having given up lugging my heavy wooden french easel outdoors on a bus and into deep forests (phew!)
When Soltek Easels (
www.soltekarts.com ) first splashed their advertisements on all arts magazines, I was thrilled by the claims of ultra-lightweight and good designs. That being said I never really got around to buy it then, 'cos firstly it's expensive.
So now I have resources to think more seriously with investing one, and hope to hear more thoughts from the floor before i commit to it. At the same time, I'm hoping to hear more other options that other fellow members may be using now, and recommending for use.
This will be a great sharing thread for everyone who's also thinking about investing in a portable easel.
