If you do use a tripod easel for painting, whether in the studio or on site, make sure that it is sturdy. One way of stabilizing it is to use a small chain, cord, shoe string -- something to tie the back leg to the front two. Usually there's a hook on the backside of the tray that no one uses. That's where you hook/tie it. ;-) I use an easel from time to time for plein air landscape paintings, but generally I opt for a wood panel that fits in my lap — I’m more of a sitter, than a stander.
