Repin's palette
Peggy probably can tell us how Repin designed a palette when he is injured.
I was told that Robert Bruce Williams with Steven Morpes and a lady designed a nice easel.

SB, do you know something that you're not telling us? For a couple of years I've been trying to track down a photo of Repin's palette that appears as if it's strapped around his waist. It stuck out like a tray, and he could walk around with it while keeping both arms free. Is this what you're talking about?

If any enterprising, high-tech artist would like to come up with a prototype for this kind of palette, I would be very interested.

David, I am delighted to discover another high-tech artist* on the Forum! By the way, there are many references to ABS throughout the Forum, pros and cons, for use as a ground for oils and drawings. Please consider this an invitation to post your opinions on those threads as your time and inclination allows.

*I'm editing this to clarify that I'm not a high-tech artist, by any stretch of the imagination, but I pester those who are.

Nice design. Does this palette prevent stickness of dried pigment ?

Linda:

Repin---Linda. He suffered atrophy of arm muscles in his senior year. Does one works too leisurely not to use palette in hand?

Also, Sargent grips a brush in his tooth so no time wasted.
