"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Vince Fazio and I'm here to talk to you from the Sedona art center about one session oil paintings. I mentioned that I'm working on a glass palate here. The glass is placed into the box of my portable easel. This kind of easel is great for planer painting, as we mentioned. It's also great for working on a small scale. Working larger, I like a larger palate. I personally like a lot of room. But working on a small scale this works. Also, with the glass I can clean it really easily in the middle of a painting process. Disposable palates are great too. They come in sizes that will insert right into there. This is and ECL easel, one of a number of brands that combine the easel with the palate and so that becomes a very portable situation that you can move around. They also make cigar box size easels that you can carry around with you and have a little smaller sized palate surface. And that's pretty nice. This easel will expand down to here... it will go up so that we can put a much larger canvas on here. This easel I got exactly because it will take up to a sixteen by twenty canvas really easily. So you can see how big a canvas that can go out to here easily. But it's also very handy for the small size. And this easel comes with a tripod. So this tripod is very malleable. You can do all kinds of neat things. I can tip it back and forth. I can also, if I'm on uneven ground, pivot it this way and that way. The legs extend, So I can put this out to a standing height. So for standing or sitting, it's very adjustable."
