The Frankenstein of Easels

I’ve been wanting to paint out side for a while now, but I never got around to getting one of those fancy french easels.


My art instructor ( Ray Horner) gave me a great idea a while back , for making a simple hinged easel on a budget.

I scrounged around my basement for the materials needed and in about an hour I assembles the Frankenstein of easels for my yard.

No frills and no cost, with old wood, an old door hinge and a piece of left over plumbing pipe (for a brush holder) I was off and painting in the yard in no time.

I like this easel because I don’t have to worry about it, I can just leave it outside and it’s there when I need it.
