A good easel is more than just a stand for your canvas – it’s an essential tool that affects posture, comfort, and creative flow. Whether you paint professionally, as a hobby, or simply want a decorative easel for display, there are many models that combine design and function in different ways.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing an easel, as well as an introduction to the most common types and brands on the market.

This article presents a selection of easels ranging from compact tabletop models to large studio easels. The aim is to provide an overview of features, materials, and uses so you can more easily find an easel that suits your needs. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide an informative and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying an easel

When choosing an easel, it’s about finding the right balance between stability, flexibility, and available space. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.

1. Purpose and use

First, consider how you primarily intend to use the easel. Should it stay fixed in a studio, be used for teaching, or be easy to take outdoors? A heavy easel provides stability for large canvases, while a lightweight and foldable easel is ideal for transport.

2. Adjustability and working height

An easel should be adjustable to suit your working position. Many models have adjustable tilt and height, allowing you to work both standing and sitting. This is especially important if you paint for long periods at a time.

3. Material and durability

The most common materials are wood and aluminium. Wooden easels, often made of beech or pine, have a classic look and high stability, while aluminium models are lighter and more portable. Also consider how easy the material is to clean, especially if you work with acrylic or oil paints.

4. Space and storage

If you have limited space, a foldable easel can be an advantage. Some models can be folded completely flat and stored behind a door or under a bed. In a permanent studio, on the other hand, you can choose a larger easel with wheels so it can be moved around easily.

5. Price and quality

The price depends on size, material, and features. Cheaper easels often cover basic needs, while more expensive models offer better adjustability and a more robust construction. Consider how often you’ll use the easel and choose the quality accordingly.

Different types of easels

There are many types of easels, each suited to different purposes and working situations.

1. Studio easels

Studio easels are large, stable models typically used in fixed work environments. They can hold heavy and large canvases and often have wheels so they can be moved around. This type is ideal for professional artists or those with a dedicated painting area.

2. Table easels

A table easel is compact and easy to place on a table or work surface. It’s suitable for smaller canvases, watercolour painting, or detailed work. Many models can be folded, making them practical for small spaces.

3. Field and travel easels

These easels are designed for mobility. They are lightweight, foldable, and often come with a carrying case. Perfect for plein air painting, where you paint directly in nature, or for teaching, where you need to transport equipment frequently.

4. Display and exhibition easels

Display easels are primarily used to present finished works, posters, or signs. They are typically simpler in construction and focus more on aesthetics than functionality. They come in both wood and metal and can be a decorative element in the home or gallery.

5. Multifunctional easels

Some modern easels combine several functions – for example, models that can be adjusted from vertical to horizontal position, so they can also be used as a drawing table. This type is well suited to artists who work with different techniques.

Different easel brands

The easel market offers many manufacturers, each with their own focus and strengths.

Frequently asked questions

Which easel is best for beginners?

A table or field easel is often a good choice for beginners. They are affordable, easy to handle, and don’t require much space. As you gain more experience, you can consider a larger studio easel.

Can the same easel be used for all types of paint?

Yes, but some easels are better suited to certain techniques. Watercolour painters often prefer easels that can be laid almost flat, while oil painters typically work on vertical easels to avoid drips.

How do you maintain an easel?

Wipe the easel with a damp cloth after use and remove paint residue before it dries. Wooden easels can benefit from being treated with wood oil to maintain shine and durability.

How much space does an easel require?

It depends on the type. A studio easel typically requires a couple of square metres of free space, while a table easel can be used on a regular desk. Consider where you’ll store it when not in use.

Is an easel necessary for painting?

Not necessarily, but it provides a better working position and makes it easier to see and work on the entire canvas. An easel can also help create a more inspiring workspace.
