Studio Makeover

deborah Haagenson

@KaraDaniel I do have both a floor easel and a table easel. Right now I primarily oil paint at an art academy and they provide easels, so at home I've been using a table easel. I like to sit and paint anyway, so that's ok. I also have a big drawing board that I use for most of my drawing.

@deborah-Haagenson heh neighbor. I am in Waconia. How are you enjoying the snow?!?!?

deborah Haagenson

@theprairiefox I know! This is my second winter living here, so it's taken some getting use to that's for sure! I was born here, but I lived in CA for a long time, so I'd never driven in snow (and ice). Luckily it doesn't bother me to stay in the house for days at a time. It does make me a little clostrophobic knowing I can't even get my car out.

@deborah-Haagenson I've been thinking of getting a table easel. Yours looks very practical. Can you tell me its brand name?

There was a studio share on Instagram this year. I don't have the pics anymore, but here is the LINK to my IG post.

@burvantill The ones your looking at in the picture are small and I use them for drawing. The one I use for painting is bigger and has a drawer. I'll take a photo and post it.

@deborah-Haagenson i have a big one. I need a small one. Is the small one in the photo stable enough to hold an iPad?

@deborah-Haagenson sorry for the fuzzy pic. I was having trouble getting it small enough for this post. It's the 'Ravenna Table Easel with Drawer'. I bought it on Amazon in 2011, but it looks like it's still available.

@burvantill I use the black one you see in the photo, 'Readaeer Reading Rest Cook Book Document Holder Stand Bookrest' for my samsung 10.5 " tablet to view references. I use another similar one, 'Parblo PR 100 Universal Graphic Tablet Stand Adjustable for 10 to 16 Inches Digital Graphics Drawing Monitors Art Tablets' for my X-Pen display graphic monitor. The bamboo one is more open. I put a small board on it when drawing. I probably wouldn't use it for a tablet.

@deborah-Haagenson both can be found on Amazon.
