Guerrilla Painter 6 by 8-Inch Thumbox Bag

Guerrilla Painter 6 by 8-Inch Thumbox BagI purchased the thumb box and then this bag to protect it, and am glad I made the purchase! It fits perfectly, has lots of storage pockets for rags, paper towels, and spare canvas boards. This is the perfect bag to leave in your car so you always have an option when you see the place to pull over and make a quick sketch! I'm saying it's time for a road trip!!

This bag is of excellent quality and is durable, the thumBox fits perfectly. I like that there are extra storage pockets inside and out, I can load this up and just grab whenever I want to head out or leave it in my car. Everything is together and organized. If you get the 6 x 8 box, you will definitely want this bag to go with it.

Lineco Single Wing Self-Stick Easel Backs, Size 7" Color: Black, (Pack of 25)

Lineco Single Wing Self-Stick Easel Backs, Size 7' Color: Black,These are advertised to hold up a paper or posterboard sign, so I'm not complaining. I tried to use it to hold up a framed picture, but they are not sturdy enough. Just wanted to let others who might consider it for that purpose know. I'm sure it would probably work great for a lightweight paper or posterboard.

Reeves 2-3/4-Inch Mini Easels

Reeves 2-3/4-Inch Mini EaselsThis is a very good quality mini easel. The wood is hard so it won't dent as easy, it has a nice finish, it has screws instead of air-gunned nails, and the back support/stand is firm and tight, so it's not limp.

My daughter loves painting 2-3/4-inch mini canvases on these mini easels. I put plastic wrap over the easel to protect it so that it can be used to display the finished painting. She gave one easel with a painting as a gift. These look and work great.

I purchased these to hold 2 small frames with my daughters hand print and foot print. They serve their purpose. They are just as they are represnted to be. My only complaint is there is nothing to stop the supporting leg from sliding too far out...when ever I bump them while dusting the back leg will fly out and the frames fall flat. This isn't a big deal in the way I'm using them because the frames don't have glass....but if you were to put something delicate on these easels just be careful not to let it fall.

Studio Designs 12102 EZ Fold-A-Way Easel in Black

Studio Designs 12102 EZ Fold-A-Way Easel in BlackThis has been the best little tool ever! I am a new author and this travel easel has been such a life saver. I left it at one event and had to drive back to get it but it was well worth it! It folds up easy and is very sturdy when using. The only negative is that I wish it came with it's own case.

Mighty Bright Fold-n-Stow Book Holder

Mighty Bright Fold-n-Stow Book HolderI love this product, it really works well for my huge law books, it's also good for the smaller but thick books. The legs adjust well for page flipping. If you're the end or beginning of the book,where you have a lot of pages on one side and very few on the other, (in a 700 page book this is a big weight issue), it still gets the job done.

HOWEVER,

I also ordered the easi-reader bookstand, about $1 more (doesn't ship to Canada so I had to order it from Independent living aids so shipping was expensive). I'd have to say that the Easi-reader, although it has a more simple look, it more solid than the mighty-bright. Mighty bright metal pieces are held together with plastic while the Easi-reader is held together with metal and its over structure (hard to tell from the Amazon picture) is more solid. My books don't move around whatsoever on the latter.

Another downside, for both products, they are not good for small paperbacks. But for students with large books, cookbooks, papers, pictures they work really well.

I bought this book holder after reading good reviews, but it is really not so good. Mighty Bright writes in the product description 'Variable slope Adjustments (it really adjusts)', but the fact is that it does not. It has one fixed slope. I sent a email to Mighty Bright, who is the seller and probably the manufacturer of this product to explain me how I can adjust the slope, if it really does, as he says. It has been several weeks by now, but I have not received any response. Another drawback is that the wires are soft and pliable and tend to bend with the weight of a hardcover high school textbook. It seems that soon it is going to be out of shape. Yes, one good thing is that it does fold, so it is easily portable.

I tried out a lot of bookholders before getting to this one and this is, by far, the best bookholder I've ever used. It's easy to move around and folds flat, so can be taken with you wherever you go. It holds both paperback and hardcover perfectly.

I'm a law student and need my book proped up so I can read and type at the same time. This was a life-saver! Held my paperback Black's Law Dictionary, as well as all the casebooks and hornbooks. And these are books of well over 1000 pages.

If you're looking for a bookholder, get this one!

This is a very versatile book stand that is easy to carry around and easy to store. It is ideal for smaller books and for those readers who don't need variety of reading angles. However, it can accommodate larger books as long as you are a bit careful how you use it. In addition to books, it works really well with a variety of electronic book readers and the new generation of tablet computers. I've used it with my Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation) and iPad. In fact, when I was looking for an inexpensive way of propping up my iPad so that it doesn't lay flat on the table I settled for this option and so far it is working perfectly for me. In fact, I am writing this review on iPad that is propped up with it.

The only problem that I have with it is the manufacturing quality. The first holder that I bought broke after a few months of use. I still went ahead and bought a new one because I feel that its many advantages far outweigh this shortcoming, and hopefully if I am a bit more careful with how I store it and handle it it may last longer this time around.

Reeves Fine Oil Colours Sets set of 24

Reeves Fine Oil Colours Sets set of 24Few breaks, paints mostly smooth with little/no grit, colors are vibrant and set up really well when dried after a few weeks. Keeps texture very well. Every color you need is pretty much in this kit. If you wanna be the new Bob Ross, this color set is for you. It has all the colors he uses too.

I have bought two of these sets already and will be buying many more in the future!

This is a nice starter set of quality paints. Very nice range of colors. The sizes are small and it would be nice if it came with base colors in larger sizes. But for the price it really is a great value.

You have to love Amazon, the price cannot be beaten.

This set is basically a starter set for students or adults who wants to begin painting with oil paint. The good thing about this oil paint is that it is very affortable, which means you can practise and practise painting without feeling you wasting alot of money. The set has a nice range of colours, paints smoothly and colours are vibrant. You can create good texture with this oil paint by using the dabbing effect, Al Prima effect or scrumbling effect. Out of those 3 I like the scrumbling effect the best because I like to experiment with my art work. The scrumbling effect is painting a fairly thick application of color, then removing the paint with a rag, brush or sponge. I have created some interested pieces using this technique. I would recommend this set for anybody who want to created great artwork.

Ravenna Table Easel with Drawer by Art Alternatives

Ravenna Table Easel with Drawer by Art AlternativesI love this easel. It is sturdy and can adjust up to 34". That's really great. I also love the fact that it can adjust on the top and bottom, leaving it pretty compact. It just hangs over the table for the bigger canvas.

The drawer is great! My brushes fit in it amazingly well. Even the longer ones. There's also 2 spots that will fit smaller things like pencils, erasers, sharpeners, etc.

I love the quality and simplicity of this easel. No assembly required and it is easy to transport or tuck away when you're done. I highly recommend this easel. It's affordable and well made. A must have!

I bought this for my Girlfriend who is a painter and this easel is very cool. It is strong, sturdy and made from very good wood. I do not ever see this breaking. The genius of this easel is in its design. It is designed well and there is nothing that I can see wearing down or breaking with it. The drawer is spacious and fits all (or most) of her brushes and paints.

We bought this to be portable and it is lightweight and packs up to about the size of a suitcase. It expands to a good size and she is doing a 16x20 landscape on her desk as I am typing this.

I (we) are very pleased with this purchase

Nice compact easel for those without a lot of space. Expansion is surprisingly large. Convenient storage for supplies.

This easel is so nice, its exactly what I wanted. Plenty of storage in the drawer for paints, brushes, etc. The angle of the board can be adjusted to nearly flat also. As an idea, I purchased an ordinary bread board that fit into the clamps and that is what I use to tape the art paper to on top of the easel, and it works very nicely. LOVE it, thanks!

Want Ravenna Table Easel with Drawer by Art Alternatives Discount?

I needed a table easel and there is a good bit to choose from....so, which to get? A.) THIS ONE. And I will explain why. A lot of table easels will extend up and accommodate a larger canvas, but this one also can be adjusted to "lower" the bottom portion as well as the upper portion. This creates a larger area to work. In doing so, it relocates the drawer that is typically in the front side and places it on the right side. In this drawer can be stored paints and brushes and it has two clasps to keep it closed securely while carrying it around...the part of the easel that holds the canvas condenses (if expanded above or below) and can be lowered and secured as well.....it essentially folds together securely and has a leather handle to carry it by. It's constructed of solid wood and by that I mean it's strong enough to be adjusted without worrying that something is going to snap while adjusting the easel up and down and it travels well. When I purchased this item it was one of the more expensive models but you really do get what you pay for. Look at it as an investment because if you buy something of lesser quality, you're stuck with it and if you buy this (from my personal experience with the easel) you're going to have a better experience in the way it accommodates an even larger canvas, stores your supplies safely and securely with TWO "good" clasps, a reliable & sturdy leather handle, a solid wood built frame that can be adjusted easily and when properly secured it will stay at the angle you set it at. The more I use it, the happier I am I bought it.

Reeves Assorted 12-Milliliter Watercolor Paint, 18-Pack

Reeves Assorted 12-Milliliter Watercolor Paint, 18-PackThe Reeves Assorted Watercolor Paint was well packaged and arrived in good condition. As a new painter, I was not familiar with the brand, but when I brought it to art class, my instructor was surprised that I had found a good quality product at a reasonable price. Her words? "That's a good deal"!

I purchased these for a project I really didn't want to use my more expensive watercolors on. As far as how they work/pigmentation/etc they are pretty close to right on par with the expensive brands I use. The only test remaining is how long they can retain their vibrancy as the paintings age. If they stay nice and colorful, then they'll definitely be a steal!

As a first time artist, I wasn't sure about what kind of paints I should buy, but I ended up deciding to buy these. I was throughly impressed with the quality of paints :)

However, I do wish it came in a box that was a bit easier to maneuver. Overall, a great product!

B. Toys Kids Flip Down Wood Easel/art Desk Combo In Espresso

B. Toys Kids Flip Down Wood Easel/art Desk Combo In EspressoI bought this for my son two years ago. The easel has a dry-erase side and a chalk-board side. The chalk-board side isn't done properly and is too smooth--chalk doesn't write on it. Also, it doesn't function well as a desk. When folded down to a desk it's too high for any child under 5 to sit and reach (the desk area is 24" high when folded down)--and any children's chair is too low for it. I tried stacking pillows for a few months, but it was difficult. Even as an art easel I had to set up a step-stool for my son--then 3--to reach it to paint. Also, the bins underneath make it uncomfortable to sit at as the child's feet hit the bins. And, there is a section of wood on the top of the easel that sticks up making it hard for kids to reach/put their arms down to color, etc. when it's folded down as a desk.

The dry-erase works great, my kids have had fun using that and the paper that rolls up over the top for painting. I primarily wanted to use this as a desk, with the added feature of the art easel and have been disappointed that I couldn't do that. I'm thinking about cutting a few inches off the bottom of the legs-removing the bins and the wood pieces that hold then, removing the extra wood piece on the top of the easel to make it more usable as a desk. It's annoying that I have to make so many modifications though.

I had a dry erase board which was 3ft by 2 1/2 feet and weighed about 2 lbs. The two support hooks would not stay up with anything that weighed over a pound. This product can hold a sturdy cardboard display but that's about it. I drilled a hole through the plastic support hooks and the two front legs and used a screw to secure the support hooks to the legs so that I can use my dry erase board. The description needs to include how much weight the support hooks can withstand.

I bought this for my white board, but my white board is a bit heavy (24x36)for this easel. I can still write on the white board with no problem, but I have to hold it to erase. The easel itself is nice. it folds up easily and sets up in a snap.
