  • My Easel Butler arrived to Mallorca in less than 10 days, thank you very much!

    I am very happy with Max, it fits perfectly my Jakar Lightweight Adjustable watercolor Easel, and also my studio Holbein palette. It is a pleasure now to paint.  I will spread the word about Max between my friends for sure and send photos soon.

  • I just got back from giving my watercolor workshop in France and absolutely LOVED the Easel Butler!   ...Geri Medway, California, USA.

  • What a clever invention, and enthusiastic / informative web site!  Both are clearly a labor of love and that inspires me...   Peggy

  • I can't wait ~ this is one awesome product!  You've answered many plein air painter's prayers for lightweight solutions!
  • ....Kathleen, Palos Park, IL                                     
  • I’m excited to receive my Easel Butler. I have some longer painting hikes coming up and I’m ditching my heavier set up. Your product is key to making it work. Thanks for coming up with such a smart and reasonable solution...Courtney, Pasadena, CA

  • I received Max today!! That makes me so happy. It works perfect on my tripod (Slik U8000). It is of a really nice quality and LIGHT.
    Thank you...Julie , Sante Fe, NM

  • I love the Easel Butler. And many people I know have one because of the recommendation. Such a simple idea that works. I have many easel shelves, but they all seem specific to one or two easels or tripods. I love how lightweight, sturdy, and some-what universal Max seems to be. 
    ...Chris Willey, Art instructor, USA
 
  • ​I received my easel butler and just love it. Thank you so much for shipping so quickly.  I will send a pastel painting when I'm feeling confident about it.  Have a great day! .....Theresa, Alberta Canada

  • ​The Easel Butler is wonderful for the pastel artist that requires stability for their palette and portability when plein air painting.  It's sturdy and lightweight, two of my requirements when I pack my equipement of a day of chasing the light...      ​Richard McKinley, PSA-HF, PSWC-PL, Oregon, USA
  • Just to let you know that my Easelbutler  arrived, just in time as I was leaving at one o’clock for a three day plein air painting trip.

    Amazing service, only ordered last Wednesday. Can’t get such speedy and efficient service within the UK.  Thank you so much.

    Back from our trip, and my EB was invaluable.  It's very well made and light as a feather.  Don’t know how I’ve managed without it.  I used a hand clamp to secure my palette to EB in case of a gust of wind...       Paulette,  Worcestershire, UK

  • Absolutely LOVE my easel butler!
    Easel Butler has been my companion for ages and ages and has traveled around NZ and to Australia, quite a few times.
    I made my own pochade and it never goes out without my Easel Butler.
    Love, love and love.
    Have just promoted a plein air group that I have set up on Facebook, and I'm hoping others will be ordering too.

    Thanks for such a wonderful 'companion'            ....Jennifer, New Zealand

  • Thanks Minnie for your friendly email.   I have been looking for such a device as yours for some time and was delighted to find it mentioned on-line.  What a  great website you have!  You obviously are a very well organized and friendly outfit. I have often done plein air work with a group that goes out every week around the Canberra region, and with your device I would not have to take that extra folding stool or table.  I really look forward to getting it.  ...Tim Hardy, Australia

  • I was alerted to this product by Richard McKinley this year during his demo at the International Association of Pastel Societies In Albuquerque, NM and I'm looking forward to getting mine.                    Gerald Boyd, California, USA

  • Your Easel Butler was recommened by Tricia Taylor in Australia and of course with Richard McKinley’s endorsement I was sold.        ...Morag Wheeler... Dunedin,  New Zealand 
  •           
  • Just  letting you know that the Easel Butler arrived safe and well in just 12 days. I'm absolutely delighted with it, it fits my easel/tripod perfectly, and is even lighter to pack in my art bag than expected.
    The triangular packing box is a great idea to protect the contents, and, happily, there were no extra charges at this end, so your label information obviously helped it sail through customs/our postal service without any problems.         Many thanks for the speedy service, and brilliant Butler!
    ...Diane ...Wales, UK                                                                                            
  • I have this and love it. I can no longer go paint plein air without it. It holds my pastel box securely, and having my pastels all within reach close to my painting is so helpful in selecting just the stick I need. I am now using it with my easel at home. "Max"is so perfect.        Caroyln Karch, Nevada, USA.                                    
  • Thank you for coming up with such a clever contraption, perfect for the job and so light in weight.           Marge Levine, New Jersey, USA.                                                                                          
  • The Easel Butler arrived safely a mere 8 days after posting.
    I have to say Max is wonderful. I have partnered him with a shelf I made from 10mm Coroplast and whilst weighing virtually nothing, he is as steady and rigid as I had hoped. The shelf supports my heavy metal watercolour palette, two pots of water, brushes and sundry other items and is absolutely secure. I am so impressed I am now using this setup for all my painting, not just for plein air. I thoroughly recommend him to everyone.                                                The best bang I've ever had for 55 New Zealand bucks...Yours, Chris Alves

  • My easel butler showed up yesterday. Very easy to assemble and took about 3 minutes. It fits on my Windsor Newton easel and holds my palette well.
    I have not had a chance to take it outside to paint yet but I think it will be great when I do....lightweight, affordable and fits into my WN carry bag.
              Thanks...Rosalie, Milwaukee, WI
