Yarka Field Easel For Plein Air Painting - Med - Vintage 1990’s - Rare - New

Yarka French Field Easel For Plein Air Painting Vintage. Rated a top Easel New

It’s great for travel because you can pack a lot of paints and brushes inside like a French easel.
It’s hefty and stable so it provides sturdy support for larger pieces and doesn’t rock or move in the wind.
It can hold large canvases up to 28 inches high (about 70 cm).
This easel sets up easily on uneven ground and has pointed ends on the aluminum legs which can sink into the soil for stability in soft or uneven terrain.
The Yarka is well-made and can take a beating. Although I understand later models may have been somewhat less sturdy, mine is extremely sturdy.
You can slip wet panels into the upper lid behind a wood panel for safe transport when wet.
It’s wood. I like wood. It has a nice look and feel. A wooden pochade or paint box makes you feel romantically like a good artist even when you don’t really know how to paint!
It’s also great for taking to workshops where you need to bring your own easel.
