Which Easel  should I get?

There's nothing to beat an easel for keeping a painting in place while you're working on it. Working vertically at an easel means you're working in the same plane as the painting will finally be hung, reduces the risk of spilling anything on it, or dust collecting on it. You can work sitting on a stool or standing, though standing at an easel makes it easy to step back to see how the painting is progressing. But with the huge array of artists easels available you may be at a loss as to which is best for you. Here are a few pointers that may help:

If you enjoy standing to paint or like working on a large-scale then a floor standing art easel would be ideal. If you prefer working on a smaller scale, then a table-top artist’s easel or box easel may be more suitable and if you paint very vigorously, you'll want to make sure you get a heavier easel for stability. We have tried to include at least one of each type of artist easel available and have included informative descriptions that tell you all you need to know and don’t forget a great low price!

 

All you need to do is to decide which is going to be best for you.
