The moment I sit down at my easel to create art is magical. Time flows into numerous strokes of color to tell a story of hope, loneliness, and my inner need to capture the divine nature of the Universe. We all have the light and dark inside us, but our will or choice to do anything in life is real. Some unknown forces or mysteries don’t guide us. We are here to do what we set out to create ourselves.
KraftGeek art easel review
If you love artistic expression as much as I do and enjoy painting outdoors or in your studio, a stable but portable easel is necessary for every artist.
The advantages:
The easel is adjustable and unfolds up to 65 inches tall. It measures 2.2″D x 3.9″W x 19.87″H and is available in 3 colors: oak, black, and walnut. I like functional things. The art easel weighs under 4 pounds and can fit in carry-on luggage. Made of lightweight aluminum alloy, it can be folded to just 20 inches. The easel is easy to set up, carry around, or store in a closet.
This plein air easel requires no assembly. Just take it out of your box, unfold it, and set it up for a painting session or a gallery presentation.
It can fit on a table. It can also be used as a floor easel because I can adjust its length between 20 and 65 inches.
How to unfold it:
1. Unfold the front legs of the tripod
2. Unfold the back leg
3. To unlock the rod, turn it clockwise, pull & turn counterclockwise
4. To unlock the clamp extension, turn the knob counterclockwise. Turn it clockwise to fasten it.
The most important thing about art easels is their stability. This one doesn’t disappoint. The easel has locks and non-slip silicone pads on each leg to hold art up to 11 lbs.
It can also level your canvas on uneven surfaces, which is useful if you paint outdoors.
The easel can hold a variety of canvases up to 3/4 of an inch wide. It holds canvas sizes up to 10.5” in width, and 24” in height. It’s NOT suitable for small panels like 5×7″, 8×10″, or 9×12″. So you can use it for art gallery displays, outdoor painting, and studio work.
This easel has a pleasantly surprising additional feature. If you need a tripod for your phone, camera, or light, it comes with a mount to hold the phone while recording.
To activate a 2-year limited warranty, scan a code attached to the easel inside the box.
The disadvantages:
1 Some parts are made of plastic and I don’t know how long they would last.
2 It cannot hold big and heavy art but no foldable easel can.
3 It doesn’t hold small canvases horizontally like 5×7, 8×10, 9×12.
4 Also, It’s not cheap. But I’m tired of crappy stands that fall off and can’t even balance small canvases. I figured it’s more valuable to buy one solid easel instead of 2-3 cheap ones that end up in a trash bin anyway.
