Overview

In-game description
A portable easel for painting plein air!

Day two of the wipe, no cloth to spare, and you want the neighbours to know you are friendly before they shoot first. Set the easel up in front of your gate, paint the message on it, and you have a sign on its own feet for 100 wood.

That price is the whole point. The standing artist canvas also stands on the floor, but it wants cloth and more wood. A large wooden sign is wood only too, though it needs 30 scrap of research first, while the easel has nothing to research and needs no bench.

The name says portable and the game text talks about painting in the open air, so think of it as a quick prop rather than part of the base. It guards nothing. For art that hangs on a wall, a landscape picture frame is the cheap pick.
