Best University Easel...Many professional artists work in both oils and pastels. This easel was designed for them. Working in a large studio light becomes a major problem. With it comes reflection. Because this easel is designed to tilt forward or backward it gives the painter far more flexibility in getting their light at just the right angle. When switching from oils to pastels the problem of falling pastel dust can drive one crazy. With this easel you can tilt it forward so that the dust falls free to the floor and not down the face of the painting. This easel was designed to shift the weight to the rear when the easel is leaning forward. This gives the easel the necessary stability required for this position. The University Easel can hold canvasses up to 84" high. Base width 22-1/2" and depth 30". Ceiling height at lowest setting is 75" and 110" at highest setting. Deluxe 30" wide painting tray features tool shelf and two stainless steel cups. Includes a middle tray for smaller works. Piano hinges at joints for maximum strength. Double laminated base for extra strength. Front locking casters are optional. Shipping weight is 68lbs. Ships partially assembled by truck. $479.95
