large notice

For the creative at heart, these easels provide a perfect solution to capturing special moments in time.

Canvas can be purchased in handy 10-piece stacks, and boxes, specially designed to squeeze the pulp out of sturdy twigs and create single sheets of canvas, are also available at a premium cost.  All easels have 20 sheets of canvas.

Paintings created by artists with little skill will be less elaborate than those created by artists with more skill.  Remember: practice makes perfect!
