portable plein air easel

[@sugarcane9425]

I like your design the most so far . I m now watch yours on 2023

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Thank you.

[@aspenram3885]

Thank you for sharing!! I cut kitchen towel roll in half with a saw, then it's a similar size but thicker! Much easier to pack or keep in a cramped studio area.

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Great idea. I was in lockdown and all I could find was toilet paper! Not the best!

[@kayparmee5775]

Hi Andy! I should have joined you on your painting holiday last year. Sadly cancelled because of COVID. It’s so lovely to see you and that wonderful landscape! I hope to be back in September . Mike, my hubby is in the garage making me your box as we speak! Thank you! 🙋‍♀️🎨

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Kay, that's great! I may be doing another painting holiday next May in the UK, but let's see how things go...! Hope your easel works out well!

[@jcr_jcr]

You are a genius. Oh how I would love one of those boxes.

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Thank you But not sure about the genius bit!!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Nice jjob, I am glad that you found my idea inspirational, great to see how others have adpated my plans. :)

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

just a thought...I find that toilet roll breaks down too easy when wetted. Have you thought about cutting a roll of kitchen paper in half (using a hacksaw would work) ?

[@nattyw495]

Enjoyed seeing your video on plien air set up. Its given me a few ideas to incorporate and might be able to incorporate i like how you adapted different upcycle pieces you already had to your needs...

[@paulahaynes6131]

Nice Simple easy to set up and use.well done.

[@careytimo]

Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve been looking to make my own that is this sleek and simple, and not $400! This sets me in the right direction!

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Glad to have helped!

[@painterpip4531]

Looks like a very neat set up. Think I'll be making myself one very soon. Excellent video. Thanks very much! (I saw the Andy Beck one too).

[@MedievalMary]

I love This Idea!

[@chrismarriott6132]

Always interesting to see other people’s setup - thanks. I too have a box based on Andy Beck’s excellent design. I sized mine to fit an A4 sketchbook or a 9x12” watercolour pad. Really works well! I made mine from plywood rather than Andy’s MDF. Stronger and lighter, and when stained with woodstain looks really nice too. You’re obviously more skilled with a jigsaw than I am - my tray slot and water cup hole aren’t nearly as neat as yours, but they work fine.

[@sounreal]

This is such a nice set up! I only just started learning how to paint and I’ve been looking forward to be able to do some Plein Air and this gets me excited!

[@ThePaintingStoof]

Thanks for sharing!

[@federinik77]

Amazing idea, thanks a lot, I will make one too...regarding the kitchen roll, you could simply cut it in half with a cutter or a sharp knife to get a better wipe

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Yes, great idea. I was using some very thin toilet paper which is all we had at the time in lockdown, but 4 ply would be better!

[@VintageJoBeth]

Thank you!

[@johnhoffmanpaintings8512]

brilliant.

[@catbraunwell6450]

This looks exactly like Andy Beck’s! Nice design. I wish my husband would make me one. I need to get myself a tripod first. Is the Amazon basics one really any good or should I spend a little more money?

[@iglesiacristovencedor4530]

Hi. I've been using the Amazon basics one for a couple of years no0w with no problems whatsoever. it is really light and folds away to a small size in its bag. I recommend it. 👍

[@hadis_hm]

Great

[@JaneArt64]

Which rosemary and co brushes do you use please thank you

[@jamiewashere]

Nice work, I like that design, i have something similar. Its nice and simple but very useful. Where are you located? It looks nice there.

[@AndyWalkerArt]

Thanks. I'm in southern Spain, and yes it is nice here!

[@warbride]

Thank you! Love your classes! Question, what brand of watercolour palette are you using? I've looked for a similar model but can't find one with that layout. Thanks!

[@AndyWalkerArt]

It's a Liz Deakin palette available from Frank Herring in the UK. I've not seen it elsewhere but you can get it online there.

[@warbride]

@@AndyWalkerArt Thank you for your quick reply! Appreciate your positivity and encouragement. I've added the phrase "have a go" to my lexicon.

[@ttl7346]

Thanks for sharing! Which kind of wood(I guess) do you use to make the box? And how about the weight? Thanks

[@AndyWalkerArt]

I used sheets of 3mm mdf, and 1cm x 1cm pine battens, all glued together. Not sure about the weight but it is very light!

[@ttl7346]

@@AndyWalkerArt thank you! I‘ll try it!

[@VMC3693]

Please give me amazon link about that stand

[@MKANDRESTINPEACE]
