The charming French easel, crafted from stained beechwood, combines a sketch box, easel, and canvas carrier all in one. Perfect for the outdoor or demonstration painter, the French easel is sturdy but lightweight (only 14 lbs. when empty) and has a removable tin-lined, easy to clean, drawer with compartments to hold paint, brushes, and other tools. This easel can hold canvases and boards up to 32" tall (the smallest being 18" tall) and can be tilted forward, vertical and flat.
