My favorite artist, Bob Burridge, uses this easel and recommended it to us - his workshop students. I was very impressed as I watched him use it during our Burridge art workshop in Guatemala last November 2007. If you want the best and it is in your budget the Soltek Portable Easel is a great asset to the ease of setting up and painting while traveling. It is very lightweight and compact. This will be my next plein air purchase.
Click to see this easel in action and the fun we had on the Explore Guatemala trip. There is a photo of Bruce and I at the Solree where we all displayed our art (at the bottom of the page). Soon I will have my own photos online to view. (Explore Guatemala - which I highly recommend and coming up again Nov. of 2008)
I haven't had the opportunity to use the Jullian Plein Air Travel Box portable table easel, yet. It looks great though, if it didn't I wouldn't add it to my site.
If any of you painters have used any of the featured products on our pages, please email it to us with your pros and cons. If you have a photo of you using your Soltek or Julian Easel, send it and we will post it on this page! (Send jpgs only. Thanks!)
