Notes from the inventor:

      The Bannf Easel has evolved over the

Last fifteen years to its present form.

My primary goal for its development

Was to encourage artists to comfortably

Paint outdoors with the minimum of

Equipment, having easy set up and to

Maximize the enjoyment of free and

Spontaneous creativity. Another function

Addressed was to ensure the stability of

The painting surface in relation to the

Artist as well as being effective in a

Variety of weather conditions. The Bannf

Easel allows set up on uneven ground with

Its adjustability and can be set up to allow

The artist to sit or stand when painting.

       

         The Bannf Easel was designed and

Tested for painting both indoors and

Outdoors under normal terrain conditions

And supporting an artists weight of up to

250Lbs (110kg). By sitting on the easel and

having the seat attached to the painting

surface, this gives the easel and the

working surface great stability. The easel

will adjust to uneven terrain (within reason)

for your comfort and painting pleasure.

Please note that your weight is being

Carried for the most part by the leg under

the seat. This leg will sink down only so far

and then the weight will be shared with the

wheels. When painting outside, please

choose a site that is somewhat level and is

not overly sloped. I have endeavored to

make this easel as safe as possible for you.

Please enjoy it with common sense and

Safety and it will provide you with years of

Artistic rapture.   Claude Garneau
