Big Sky Easel

Expand your horizons with the Big Sky Multi Angle Easel. It has a solid H-Frame design and a 4-point base giving you the stability and support to work on tall and wide canvas. Being made out of beech wood and having locking caster wheels make it not only sturdy but lightweight and easy to move. It features a large storage tray underneath to hold paints, brushes, mediums and other materials.

What makes the Big Sky Multi-Angle Easel diverse is its tilt-able canvas holder that allows you to paint vertically or horizontally. This makes the Big Sky useful for multi-media work, priming canvas or painting watercolours. Simply tighten the screws at the rear to lock the canvas in place.
