Paint on location
The Royal & Langnickel REA2001 is a folding aluminium tripod easel for painting at home, in a class or outdoors on location. Carry it in the included black bag and set it up where you work. Silver-coloured legs and black canvas holders provide a simple station for your own canvas, without the storage compartments of a box easel.
Choose a suitable canvas
The canvas holder accommodates canvases up to 32 inches, approximately 81.3 cm high. Also check that the width and thickness of your canvas fit the lower support and that the upper holder can grip its edge. Loose drawing paper needs your own rigid backing. A lightweight travel tripod needs particular attention to balance and wind when supporting a wide canvas outdoors.
What is included?
You receive the aluminium easel with adjustable legs, lower canvas support, upper holder and carrying bag. The feet have rubber tips. Choose paints, brushes, a palette and canvas separately. The bag stores and carries the folded easel; use separate suitable protection for your painting.
Set up and work
Spread the three legs on firm ground and adjust their lengths until the easel stands properly. Secure the adjustments before placing your canvas. Rest it on the lower support and adjust the upper holder without pressing on wet paint. Choose a comfortable working height and check the balance again after making adjustments. Avoid an exposed position in strong wind.
Store and compare
Remove the canvas before folding the easel. Clean away paint splashes before they obstruct the adjustments, and let the easel dry before putting it in its bag. If you need storage for materials or an easel to keep permanently in the studio, compare the other designs.
