A Lightweight French Easel Built for Adventure

The Cezanne Half Box French Easel is designed for artists who want a reliable setup they can take anywhere. Inspired by the classic Mabef Backpackers Easel, this beautiful version is made from oiled elmwood and includes a fully divided sketch box drawer, canvas carrying clips, a finished wood palette, brass plated hardware, and a comfortable linen shoulder strap. It is sturdy enough for studio use and light enough for travel.

You can paint while seated at a table or standing, and the easel adjusts for many styles of work. Tilt it forward for pastel art or lay it completely flat for watercolor painting. Weighing only 11.25 pounds, it is about 30 percent lighter than typical French easels and accepts canvases up to 33 inches high. When folded, it becomes a compact unit measuring 22 x 11.5 x 6.25 inches for easy storage and transport.
