Creative Mark sent its creative team to artists all over the world to figure out what could make their lives easier. It never occurred to them when they created Trio that such a simple easel would be so important. Artists almost universally needed another easel in their studio where they could prop up books, do some reading or writing, do a quick sketch, do a quick study on a canvas and even do a fast watercolor painting. Many thought Trio was so great they purchased three or four to have on tabletops and work benches around their studio so they could do many projects all at the same time. They also wanted a Trio in their kitchen or study for reading and writing at the perfect angle. Trio was also their answer for travel; they loved it for working at a park bench, in their hotel or while visiting a friend or relative. Trio is compact, measuring 16.5” high x 10-1/4” wide, and is lightweight. Its rear legs may be adjusted down to a very gentle incline which is fantastic for writing, reading and sketching. It’s one of the few table easels that provides a table-like work space ideal for supporting virtually anything! Use with 9x12” or 12x18” cutting mat for simply the best writing and drawing surface. Of course, Trio is great for painting too - the top canvas holder slides upward to support canvases up to 25” high. Canvas holders are specially made to secure supported paper, boards, books and canvases. Trio is made of satin finished elm wood and features all brass hardware. Bumpers on legs safeguard table tops. Trio is the new Lifestyle table easel for all artists. Get one today and try Trio out - if for any reason you are not satisfied, simply return for a full product refund.
