How I use mine
Elizabeth,
I do not know what size easel you have, but I have a large studio easel I built myself and is very sturdy. My mahl stick is a half inch hardwood dowel, 4 feet long with a rubber end. I do not rest it on the surface of the canvas, however. I rest it on the top canvas support of the easel, or on the corner edge of the canvas and hold it with my palette hand. I have posted 3 images of what I mean.
Hope this helps. Oh, by the way, I was not actually painting at the time these were taken, but that is the commission I am working on right now on the easel.
