A New Easel


I recently realized that I was thwarted 
every time I attempted to set up a new painting.
No matter what size I attempted, 
my easel was a jury-rigged mess.
So I ordered a new larger St.Remy easel.


 IMPORTANT NOTE: 
Putting it together made an IKEA 
assembly look like play school!
(It took me two very frustrating sessions)   

It's larger and sturdier than my old one
  and I can now paint larger canvases,
 or two at a time, 
 without clipping or taping to secure them!   
 I've set up a new lighting plan,
sorted my supplies,  
and am ready to go! 

Amazing how a new piece of equipment 
can make such a difference!

  1. Hi Nancy
    I had a similar, very frustrating experience assembling a new easel which I purchased from Jerry's. It wasn't Jerry's fault but the mfgr packed a wrong piece which led to hours of additional work. Jerry's technicians & customer service reps were very helpful in determining the error and I was sent an entirely new easel and was told to keep the first one for spare parts, if ever needed. Jerry's -Very good people to deal with.
    Good Luck with your new easel.

    1. My problem was the directions! They never said what direction the pieces went together. I put the damn thing together three times and had to take it apart completely every time.
