I plan on using these table top easels for multiple projects. Being able to put your canvas up while you are painting will help my students better see what they are painting and avoid errors in perspective. Also, it's just much easier to paint propped up- no arms and hands getting in your painting. Our first project is going to be painting in perspective and foreshortening, which will now be possible because of these easels. Before we had to take turns having a partner hold our paintings so we could truly see if we were successful in our techniques. Now we will be able to work independently and at our own pace. These easels are something that I have wanted to get for my students for a long time.
