Take your Painting Outside 

The travel easel for fun and profit is great for those you love to paint away from home.It also will enable you to paint more and sell more.

I have started to paint again and sometimes find inspiration in my travels. I used to wait till I came home to get out my easel, paints, brushes and try to remember what it was that inspired me. I now try to take my camera with me wherever I go, but it’s not always good to keep a camera in a hot car or risk losing it walking around.

If you are an artist and love to paint, you probably don’t want to wait until you get home to paint whenever the mood hits you.

The thought of boxing up the paint tubes, paint brushes, palette, easel and stand into the trunk may not appeal to you. But, if you had a way to put all your supplies and easel into a small space and could carry them with you where ever you went just might.

Just imagine being able to carry a travel easel with all your supplies over your shoulder and paint a meadow, a water fall or an old barn.

Portable travel easels that fold up into a suitcase are the perfect solution for painters who are so inspired when away from home... I have a French style sketch box travel easel that folds completely up into a suitcase and it holds all my supplies when I’m away from home.

The easel stand adjusts up and down to accommodate sizes to 34’.

See the photos in this hub to how it looks open and closed.

There are other types of course, and vary in prices from $49.00 to $199.00.You could pay more depending on wood and construction.

If you are a nature lover and want to paint more outside this is a great way to accomplish this. You might get more fresh air and exercise and possible meet other nature artists!

I have some links to nature artists groups for some ideas.

To use it, I simply open the box, turn each of the three legs outward and extend manually. Then I tighten the wing nuts to insure support. The storage draw pulls out to hold supplies and mine stands approximately 60” high.

So if you like the ability to paint away from home,then the travel easel is for you!You can use ithe travel easel for fun and profit!

I have been reviewing childrens easels lately and realized that young artists are just as interested in artist easels as an adult artist.

The children's easels are a little more sturdy and they may be a bit heavier than the travel easel,

but an adult can take these along with them when they paint outside.

The video is discussing one company's easel product but there are others. I thought she did a good job of explaining  how it worked, and why it was a good choice.
