Art Easels Design
Easels have been around since the beginning of ancient Egyptian times. They are most often used to hold a painter’s canvas, and basically act as a large sketchbook for any working artist. An easel is typically made from wood, steel, metal, or aluminum. They come in various sizes, have multiple purposes, and can be used by just about anybody of any age, height, or ability.
There are two art easels that are most frequently used.
1. The tripod design includes three stabilized legs and includes a supportive crossbar. An independent part is included to allow for vertical adjustment of the working plane. This can occur without sacrificing the supportive qualities of the three durable legs.
2. The H-frame easels are designed to be based on right angles. The base of the easel is rectangular while the posts are all parallel to each other. The “H” shape is enabled through the two vertical posts which are accompanied with a horizontal crossbar support. This is another design that often comes with adjustable verticality.
Art easels are not just meant for artists. There are three typical uses for any type of easel.
1. A studio easel is meant to assist a studio artist working on paintings, drawings, and the like. The largest art easels can hold up to 200 pounds and reach over seven feet in height.
2. For en plein work, field easels are used. They are often portable and small with a tripod design to them. They usually have collapsible or telescopic legs which makes en plein work easier and more efficient.
3. Display easels or presentation easels are intended to present completed works. They may be used in a gallery like setting or in the professional business environment. Many times, advertising agencies will display their campaigns on a display easel as a way to win over their clients.
There are many types of art easels out there. There are kids easel that come as a whiteboard, a chalkboard, or with tear off paper sheets. There are also French easels which come with a supply compartment, and table top and portable easels that can serve any professional artist. Visit EaselsOnline.com to get a brand new easel of any kind.

telescope buying help???
what are the pros and cons of getting a dobsonian.
I really like this one
http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=classicdobs/~product_id=09185
but i think it qould be better with a tripod so i didnt need to put it on a table whenever i wanted to use it.
You cannot buy a tripod for this type of telescope. It is meant to sit on the ground due to its size. I have the same one only with an 8" diameter. With the stand you see in the picture, if you tilt it straight up it is about 4ft tall. These are really nice. The only con is the size. I usually carry the tube and one of my friends carries the base.
Below of a picture of one in a garage so you can get a feel on size.

Barska BlackBlackhawk 20-60x60 Waterproof Straight Spotting Scope w/Tripod, Soft Carry Case & Premium Hard Case
List Price: |
DescriptionThe Barska Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope is a terrific value because it offers very good optical performance in a compact and affordable package. The scope itself features waterproof design, multicoated optics, and a zoom eyepiece with magnification ranging from 20X up to 60X. The accessories include a light weight table-top tripod, a soft caring case, and a durable hard shell case that will allow the rubber armored scope to stand up to a lifetime of use. The Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope uses a multi-coated objective lens and rugged porro-prism design for bright, clear images. At 100 yards, I can clearly focus in on a target, even when I crank the magnification up to the maximum 60X. When I use the scope for wildlife spotting, the sweet spot seems to be about 30X magnification; 30X gives me an ideal combination of sharp images and a wide field of view, perfect for identifying Puffins and Pelicans along the coast. I also like the compact size and light weight of the Blackhawk 60. At only 14 inches long and weighing less than two pounds, the Blackhawk 60 is light enough to use a photo tripod such as the SLIK U-9000 in the field. Like other entry level spotting scopes, the Barska Blackhawk 60 uses an Achromatic objective lens, which means that some false color or blue fringing is noticeable at high power. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the binoculars and spotting scopes imported by Barska the last few years. The Barska Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope simply offers very good optical performance for a very reasonable price. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Excellent price/performance ratio Very good Achromatic optics Waterproof design with rubber coating Premium hard shell case included Cons: Blue fringing noticeable at high power Limited eye relief for eyeglass wearers Barska 20 - 60x60 mm Waterproof Blackhawk Spotting Scope. Big name quality, big time VALUE! Cheap equipment just doesn't cut it. But the Barska Blackhawk 20-60x60 mm Spotting Scope gives you a great price on full-function features you'd normally pay BIG bucks to get. Engineered with unsurpassed optical performance and durability by those who understand the harsh hunting conditions scopes have to endure. Designed for the discriminating hunters who demand only the best, this Blackhawk is the best value in its class. Zoom in on the features: Big 60 mm objective increases light gathering ability for brighter images in low-light conditions; Multi-coated optics maximize light transmission for superior brightness and clarity; Powerful zoom provides 20-60x magnification; 91-45 ft F.O.V. @ 1,000 yds.... close focus: 23 ft; Complete waterproof protection is ideal for all-weather conditions; Long 18-15 mm eye relief and flip-down eyecups are perfect for glasses and non-glasses wearers alike; Glare-reducing sunshade included; Rubber armor designed to protect and absorb shock; Quality pan-head tripod; Premium hard carry case included, plus soft-side case; Approx. 15", 2 3/4 lb.; Spot your target without killing your budget.
