Hi,
This is the solution for painting of details by me, after an idea from my friend. It's a telescope-antenna, fixed on the easel above (middle).
For greater easel, he (my friend) mounted a normally curtain-rail (PVC) with a hook. He uses a mop-stick (extendible!) from store, with a drilled hole for that hook. You can easily move left or right like a curtain.Works perfectly. (in theory the same like by David, only vertically)
Ciao.
