Do I Need an Easel for Plein Air Painting?
There’s a variety of sketching or portable easels on the market which are light to carry and fold up quite small, but you could simply prop up your board on something, such as the bag you carry your art materials in. If you’re painting from your car (an idea when it’s raining) you could prop it up on the dashboard. First see how much you enjoy plein air painting before investing in another easel.
