Other Features |
Includes most necessary supplies (except brushes, paints and
solvent) for travel or for small sketches. The kit has been designed
with minimal weight in mind by reducing unnecessary weight in order to
achieve the lightest setup. Hence the easel is smaller, the tripod is
lighter, and the apron is thinner. |
|
|
Lightest weight setup after ProChade, for artist where weight
is the highest priority. The palette is larger than the ProChade box,
and the tripod has a stronger construction for windy day. The Lite model
can be put inside our Carry-On bag for traveling. |
An easel with medium size palette. It can also carry larger wet
panels up to 14" in width. |
The ideal easel with largest palette size and most flexible wet
panel carrying capacity, also good for watercolor or pastel with
optional grid separator. |
|
Which model suits
you
|
If you intend to travel light and feel comfortable with small a
palette, or if you want to practice with small sketches, this kit is
ideal for you. |
Provided that the EASyL-Lite palette is one size smaller, the
11"X14" palette of Pro will be the choice. Or if the VERSA being larger
in size to fit into your carry-on bag, Pro will comfortably suits inside
most of the carryon bag. |
Provided that the EASyL-Lite palette is one size smaller, the
11"X14" palette of Pro will be the choice. Or if the VERSA being larger
in size to fit into your carry-on bag, Pro will comfortably suits inside
most of the carryon bag. |
This is the substitute
for a French easel, but in lighter weight and easier set up. Being the
smallest among our three landscape format EASyLs, it adapts for painting
a 16" high panel: a feature no other easel on the market has. If weight
is a factor and you need the lightest weight easel to replace a French
easel, this is the one. |
Provided that the EASyL-Lite palette is one size smaller, the
11"X14" palette of Pro will be the choice. Or if the VERSA being larger
in size to fit into your carry-on bag, Pro will comfortably suits inside
most of the carryon bag. |
VERSA is the most versatile and flexible, and has the largest
palette space (12"x16"). It can hold panel up to 20" in height. To the
artist who wishes to paint 30"x40" canvas, VERSA can help you do it by
tying elastic bungee cords and the optional 3/4" lower panel support.
The wet panel carrying facility holds panel size from 6"x8" up to
12"x16". VERSA has features which put it into a class of its own. |
