In a recent post I described the plein air easel used by Doug Braithwaite at his workshop. He places his panels on a back board, simply resting on a small ledge. It gives him freedom to work with his panels and use his T square in a unique and interesting way.

I modified my Art Box plein air panel holder to carry a back board with a small ledge. Took it for a run today and really liked the freedom to move the panel and have full access to the edges without clips holding it.

I also modified my Jack Richeson easel, adding a removable back board and shelf and created a palette extension with a glass mixing surface.

What holds the panel on the top?
ReplyDeleteHi. There is a wooden holder that slides vertically. Go to the webpage for Art Box and you can see the vids. Good simple system
