Due to my MFA classes resuming this month I needed to make pieces of equipment that will make my life much easier when I paint in the field (Plein Air).
Some artists, mainly beginners, purchase their equipment while others the equipment they need. I option to do the latter because it's cheaper if you have a few hours to do it.
The first piece of equipment I made was a Sketch Easel originally perfected by artist/illustrator James Gurney. I made some adjustments however in the future I will find another way to make it. I don't necessarily like how the wings fold as they do not fold perfectly flat.
The second piece I made was a Painting Panel Holder from 1/2" x 2" Poplar.
The third piece is a wet painting carrier for 11''x15" panels out of Gorilla Tape, corrugated plastic and some 1"X2" stock.
