Abstract: A device which serves alternatively as an easel and as a drawing board and which provides a carrying case for art supplies and the components of the easel and support legs. The easel can be set up in the lower section of the case and is supported by a rigid triangular framework formed by the upper and lower sections of the case and a folding easel arm. The drawing board is located on the upper section. A reversible hinge arrangement permits the hinge connection between the upper and lower sections to be reversed for drawing. Strategically located compartments within the upper and lower sections make the painting supplies conveniently accessible for painting and the drawing supplies conveniently accessible for drawing. The legs can be broken down for storage in the case and have a male-female joint for increased strength and stability.

Abstract: A carrying case includes hinged together upper and lower sections in which art supplies are carried. The upper section presents a plurality of separate compartments which are adjustable in size and shape. A sliding cover panel fits over the compartments of the upper section. The lower section has an open bottom for the display of a picture which is fronted by a transparent panel and backed by a mat board. An inner frame member presses the panel and mat board together and provides a storage space in which a supply of paper is kept.
