Artist Easel

An artist easel can be used for both outdoor painting or for displaying artwork in the living room, bedroom, etc' Easels are a definite necessity for any artist and they are attractive in their own right.

The average easel consists of three sticks for legs, with a couple of horizontal pieces to hold the artwork up. This easel can be folded away easily and stored, and will fit into a car to transport to your favorite painting location. It is built out of cherry, which is a fairly strong wood that darkens with age to a beautiful reddish tone. The tools needed for this project are a sander, jigsaw, drill and router.

Building your own easel is so easy and inexpensive. The extra bonus with this easel is that it looks so good in the room its placed in.
