Art Easels

Artists use painting easels to support a painting while they work on it or sometimes to display finished work. Art easels are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, including < a href="https://www.dickblick.com/categories/furniture/easels/studio/">A-frame (lyre), H-frame, and French style. If you paint in oils or acrylics, look for an upright easel. An easel that tilts forward is best for working in pastels, and an easel that tilts back is ideal for watercolor painting. With so much variety in design, you're sure to find an easel to suit your needs.

Some easels, such as travel and table easels, collapse or fold for easy storage and transport. Studio easels tend to be less portable. Giant easels can support heavy artwork (sometimes several hundred pounds) and canvas more than 7 ft high. Smaller children's easels are available for young artists. Wood easels are common, as are easels made from aluminum or steel.
