I make a sketch easel, inspired by James Gurney's easel and all the other variations on this theme that the YouTube algorithm served up to me.

Everyone has their own awesome, customised plein air kit. I'm jealous. So I'm working to develop mine. There's definitely a joy in experimenting with and refining ones plein air equipment and process. I really like to have an efficient set up that gives a low barrier to entry on getting stuck in with the art creation.

MATERIALS
2 sheets A4 laser ply
