Liv and the easel

The girls both paint and draw a lot.... I was contemplating getting them easels but wondered if they would use them more than painting at the table. Are old easel was used a lot but kind of led to more messes than art.

I pulled out my easel after getting oil paint on the kitchen counter too many times and she stole it.

Literally refuses to let anyone near the easel :)
I think my easel is perfect but it's not the most sturdy- liv likes it because Cedric can't get to her stuff, there is room in the drawer for a sippy cup and many supplies-

She has painted/drawn/white board drawn at this easel for over two hours at LEAST everyday.

It has been so interesting how this space has inspired her so much.
