 One of the most important things I learn growing up was, the job is much easier when you have the right tool.  In business since 1998. My easel has become one of the most popular 2 or 3 outdoor painting systems used by top Plein Air artists today. There are also a large number of artists using this easel for traveling to "Workshops" and to set up in their home as a "Studio Easel".  Like the powerful paintings done by the Masters,  "SIMPLICITY" has been the main guideline. The truly LIGHTEST EASEL ON THE MARKET, weighing from only 2 lbs for the Mini, 3 lbs for the Compact and 4 pounds for the Standard. You can mix paint inside the wings so it also gives you at least TWICE THE PAINT MIXING ROOM of any other easel. Setting up in less than 30 seconds, makes it the lightest, fastest, sturdiest, and easiest to carry, while still giving you the most paint mixing room. The easel without a tripod COSTS ABOUT HALF of what other top easels cost. This easel is not "Manufactured" in some foreign country, it is individually handmade in an Arizona wood-shop, USA.

     The highest priority of  the Art Box and Panel company is the function and durability of my products. The Coulter Easel is a revolutionary design based on the old stand-by French Easel; Less heavy brass accessories, glass to break, complicated moving parts to get dirty and stick or loose, less weight but more stability. With the exception of this web site the business has been built entirely from word of mouth and product exposure. The pricing is very competitive since I do very little advertising or marketing and make all the products in my own shop. The easel without a tripod is around $200.  I hold all the positions in the company from CEO, woodworker, and shipper; When I'm not painting full time of course. Normally your order ships the first part of each week, unless I'm on a painting trip (I post my departure time and my return date on the web site).  Everything is in stock and ships once a week by UPS Ground. Don't wait until the last minute to order! Click on "PRICES" and "PURCHASE" for more information on costs and specific shipping details. If you have any questions please read my page COULTER EASEL for specs, use, back packs, etc.
