Royal Langnickel - The All Media Easel Artist Set

Love, Love, Love. I ordered this for myself, I am a 30+ year old mother of 4 who used to be quite artistic in my younger years, but stopped when I had children. I was so happy when I received this! The wooden case is BEAUTIFUL! It really is a very nice, wooden case. The workmanship on it is great, and it is very sturdy! I would recommend, if you like the look of the wood, stain or seal it right away, before you being working with the easel, because the wood will get stained with pencil, paint, etc. I like the look of the paint, etc, the "used" look, but others may not. Assembly of the easel (basically putting a few nuts and bolts in) was super quick and easy. My 4 year old helped me. I love that the easel is adjustable to your favorite angle, etc. I originally put the easel shelf (the little wood piece on the front of the easel that holds your work at the bottom) on the right way, but then I ended up turning it around, so that I could reach the bottom of the canvas easier. The drawers are great, if not short in height. Everything in the case comes in black plastic which holds it all in. I immediately removed everything from the plastic and threw the plastic out. I sorted my own supplies and added with these supplies and bagged them, and sorted in the drawers. You can fit a lot of stuff in here, I have several sets of acrylics, including the larger liquitex tubes, a few sets of oils, a few sets of water colors, many more paint brushes, and my drawing sets of pencils, etc. I love this case, it is portable, useful, I love the easel, I love the drawers, it is very nice looking, and I would definitely buy again. I am thinking of buying one for each of my kids, to use as they get older. The pain and brushes are good quality, the other supplies are good, and useful for "trying out" lots of different techniques.

It's a good introduction set to painting with oils, acrylics and water colors. Just what I wanted since I am just starting out. It gives you a good variety of media to experiment with. You soon realized that if you are going to do quality work you need an few more supplies. (I am going with acrylics)I added:One Stroke Painting INT1059 Folk Art Value Brush Pack (Amazon)Stainless Steel Painting Knife - Pallet Knife 5-Piece Set (Amazon)and a couple more things like gesso, Matte Finish Spray and largertube of white (Amazon)In the end the nicest part of this set will be the wooden box. It is very nicely made with dovetailed joints, drawers for storage and good hardware (flip latches) and sturdy leather handle. I will have a convenient place to store all my supplies and I can take them anywhere should I decide to work outside or on location. I love it. The box is classy and convenient."THIS IS NOT A TOY" - I DON'T KNOW WHY AMAZON CONSIDERS THIS A TOY

Every time I get this set out I remember how glad I am that I bought it! I wasn’t sure if I should at first; there were a lot of comments saying how messy it was when it arrived, and how it wasn’t packaged well which caused parts to break. Thankfully that was not the case for me at all! It shipped very quickly and when I opened it everything was wrapped in plastic- no flying pastels or messes anywhere! There were no broken parts, scratches, or missing pieces, just beautiful paints and tools. :) I still can’t believe what a good price it was too, it comes with so much. I definitely would recommend this!

I’ll admit, I was super hesitant to buy this at first because of some of the reviews, and I didn’t want to waste money. But this looked like the paint set that had everything I wanted to try! So now, I Can’t say enough good things about this set. It’s exactly what I was looking for and extremely affordable for all the quality stuff you get. I’m 22 and just finished the college year and wanted to get more into painting, and this is perfect for beginners. The paints are easy to apply, fresh, and nothing came broken or old! And it got here right on time. Here’s my first painting with it— excited to do more :) don’t hesitate, just buy it!

Paint wasn’t dried out like other have received. I wish I got extra acrylic or water color paint instead of oil paint because I’m not sure how to use oil paints. I have yet to use the spatulas because they don’t seem as accurate or durable. The colored pencils are not as pigmented as I wish they were. Paint brushes aren’t the best quality but they have given me some great pieces of work. I wouldn’t say it worth nearly $80, maybe $60. Overall I have got some great pieces of work out of it.
