Field artist easels are meant for traveling and for the creation of plein air watercolor or oil paintings. These artist easels are usually medium or small in size, have collapsible or telescopic legs and are based on the tripod design. French box easels or pochade box include a compartment where you can store art supplies conveniently along with a handle or straps so that the French box (pochade box) can be carried like a backpack or a briefcase.
