An easel to take with you
These Visico field easels are aluminium tripods for painting on location, in a class or at home. Unfold the legs, adjust the canvas support and place your own canvas or panel in front of you. Each version includes a bag for carrying the folded easel. Choose according to your working format and the space available when travelling.
Which model fits your canvas?
Maximum canvas height describes the work that fits between the holders; easel height is a different measurement. Also compare folded length below. Beyond height, check that the width and thickness of your canvas fit the support properly. Loose drawing paper needs your own rigid backing.
- ES-2170: Height 155 cm, canvas up to 75 cm, folded 56 cm.
- ES-2160BT: Height 160 cm, canvas up to 82 cm, folded 52 cm.
- ES-2164: Height 160 cm, canvas up to 120 cm, folded 52 cm.
- ES-2160ET: Height 181 cm, canvas up to 100 cm, folded 62 cm.
- ES-2164E: Height 184 cm, canvas up to 143 cm, folded 63 cm.
What is included?
You receive one easel in your chosen version and a carrying bag. All models have adjustable legs and rubber-tipped feet. ES-2170 is champagne-coloured and has height adjustment by knob, a carrying handle, an accessory hook and a built-in spirit level. The four other models are black and use height adjustment clasps. Choose canvas, paints, brushes and a palette separately; the canvas in the detail photographs demonstrates use.
Set up and paint
Spread the three legs on firm ground and adjust their lengths until the easel stands properly. Secure the adjustments before placing your canvas. Rest its lower edge on the canvas support and adjust the upper holder without pressing on wet paint. Check the balance again after changing height. With a wide canvas outdoors, pay particular attention to wind; choose a sheltered spot and do not leave the easel unattended.
Fold and store
Remove your work before folding the easel. Retract the adjustable parts and put the dry easel in its bag. Wipe away paint splashes promptly, especially around clasps and moving parts. The bag is for the easel; carry your painting in separate suitable protection.
