​"I have found my perfect easel...the TAKE-IT-EASEL and now my favorite apparatus...the EASEL BUTLER to use with it! ♥

Did you KNOW that the holes for the Easel Butler perfectly fit the wood pegs for the Take-it Easel?

I removed the square wire fittings on the pegs so that the Easel Butler holes could slide fully onto the peg.  I can now position the shelf a bit higher for my palette as needed.  When the Take-it Easel requires a narrower footprint, the Easel Butler metal fitting adds extra stability!

So happy and excited!  I'm set!  Thank you for your great products! " ♥

​"I did this painting on the East Coast of Mauritius, Trou d’Eau Douce.  

Mauritius is a tiny island in the Indian Ocean 200 miles to the east of Madagascar and over 2000 miles off the coast of Africa.   This is where I live.

As you can see, I love my Easel Butler!!! ...and am happy painting LARGE pictures on my tripod.

I have made a couple of clips to keep my palette attached and a couple of holes in the palette itself which is really helpfull in strong winds."

Christine shares her knowledge of plein air with local students but travels globally to create wonderful works of art.

"Even though I have fancier pochade boxes, being a petite woman, the easel butler is a tremendous asset to a much easier, light weight portable plein air system."

...Christine D'Addario, Locust Valley, New York

I was charmed and motivated by photographs of your customers using the easel butler in Tuscany and Greece!  So I am sending you this snap of a homemade attachment that fits on the end of the butler  and serves as a square block to support an umbrella.  This solves a number of problems:
 
  • The Julian umbrella that I bought for $59 gets used.
  • I don't have to worry about rocky terrain or other surfaces that are inhospitable for stake attachment umbrellas.
  • The umbrella is close to the picture, the palette, and me, all of which need protection when it rains (I paint w/c and acrylic but even oils don't like puddles of water)
  • The attachment is made from scrap wood and simply requires a 3/4 inch drill bit, cost of this bit is under $7 and needless to say, also appeals to my frugality.
  • I used to think that I could take the sun for hours but now that I am 66, and paint in the desert, I'm not so sure.

Many thanks to Ted Yao  from Toronto, Canada for this ingenious umbrella holder add-on for Max!




◄◄◄ And here is a close-up of it for all of those analytically minded souls...like myself...who just have to see how that was done.

​Ted Tao has found another way to make use of our Easel Butler ►

ere in Ontario's Killarney Provincial Park on the north shore of Georgian Bay, Max is holding a 24 x 24" canvas while Ted paints a scene diagonally.

And here we have Bobbi's set up with acrylics  in  White Rock, BC.  I think I recognize that place! ►
