Every artist has experienced that spark of inspiration while sitting in a park or overlooking a sunset. However, the excitement often fades when you realize the logistical nightmare of actually painting there. How do you hold a wet canvas? Where do your brushes go? Usually, the dream of “Plein Air” painting ends with a sore back and a messy bag. Fortunately, there is a classic solution that has been the “secret weapon” of professional artists for over a century.
1. The Frustration of “Portable” Gear
Most portable setups are either too flimsy to handle a breeze or so heavy that you’re exhausted before you even squeeze out your paint. Consequently, many artists stay trapped in their studios. Instead of a collection of separate bags and wobbly folding chairs, the French tripod easel offers a singular, genius design. To begin, it is essentially a high-capacity storage box that unfolds into a rock-solid tripod in seconds.
2. A Studio That Folds Into a Suitcase
The beauty of this design lies in its clever use of space. In fact, when folded, it looks like a vintage wooden briefcase. Nevertheless, once you undo the brass latches, it reveals a world of organization.
- The Drawer: It holds your palette, tubes, and your favorite Grandink Watercolor Brush Pens in one place.
- The Canvas Holder: It can grip a canvas vertically or horizontally. Furthermore, it protects your wet painting while you’re walking back to your car or home.
- The Result: As a result, you no longer have to choose between mobility and professional stability.
3. Finding Your Perfect Fit: Small vs. Large
Not every adventure requires the same gear. Therefore, we’ve seen artists gravitate toward two different versions based on their personal “roaming” style.
- The Light Wanderer: For those who love hiking or urban sketching, the Small French Tripod Easel is the ultimate companion. It is light enough to carry for miles, yet it offers all the essential storage you need for a quick study.
- The Studio Professional: If you prefer setting up for hours to capture a complex landscape, the Large French Style Sketchbox Easel is the gold standard. Specifically, its larger drawer and wider leg span provide the extra “heft” needed for bigger canvases and professional-grade palettes.
4. Stability You Can Trust
There is nothing worse than a gust of wind ruining a masterpiece. However, because these easels are made from seasoned beechwood with telescoping legs, they can handle uneven terrain with ease. Similarly, you can adjust the angle of your canvas to avoid glare from the sun. Ultimately, this tool isn’t just about carrying paint; it’s about giving you the confidence to paint anywhere nature calls.
To summarize, you don’t have to sacrifice your comfort to find your inspiration. So, pack your brushes, grab your Grandink easel, and let the world become your studio!
