    1. T-SIGN 66-Inch Reinforced Artist Easel Stand

    T-SIGN 66 Inches Reinforced Artist Easel Stand, Extra Thick Aluminum Metal Tripod Display Easel 21 to 66 Inches Adjustable Height with Portable Bag for Floor/Table-Top Drawing and Displaying

    Made of extra-thick aluminum metal, this easel is surprisingly sturdy yet is light enough to take with you anywhere you go. It’s the best light weight portable easel, and because it won’t break the bank, it’s highly recommended for novice and seasoned artists alike.

    T-SIGN 66 Inches Reinforced Artist Easel Stand, Extra Thick Aluminum Metal Tripod Display Easel 21 to 66 Inches Adjustable Height with Portable Bag for Floor/Table-Top Drawing and Displaying Because it folds down to a mere 21″, this is the perfect easel to take on the road. It can easily fit into most backpacks and tote bags. If you need to adjust the height or angle of the easel while it’s in use, just use the handy adjustment knobs.

    Surprisingly strong, this easel can hold a canvas that weighs as much as 25 pounds. Canvases of up to 33″ inches high and 1.2″ deep can easily be accommodated thanks to the spring-loaded clamp at the top that holds your work in place.

    Each of the tripod’s legs can be individually adjusted for uneven terrain, and with a two-year warranty, it’s pretty hard to go wrong.

    Fans of this product say that it is well-designed and built to stand the test of time. However, some critics wish that the easel could be locked into place once it’s been adjusted.

    This affordable and well-constructed model is an outstanding selection for people who are seeking inexpensive easels. It’s made of steel and features a powder-coated finish in gloss black. With non-slip rubber feet as well, this easel is built for sturdiness and durability.

    US Art Supply"Easy-Folding Easel" Black Steel 63" Tall Display Easel Despite being made of steel, this is a lightweight easel. Its maximum height is 63″ inches yet it folds down to just 15″ for easier storage and transport.

    This affordable easel can hold work that is at most five pounds, so this is something to keep in mind.

    Equipped with moveable plastic clips, it’s possible to display artwork of varying sizes on this easel. The three legs are fully adjustable and have an elastic cord running down their hollow centers for incredibly fast set-up.

    People love these easels, but they do caution that they won’t hold anything heavy.

    Factors to Consider When Buying a Painting Easel

    Before you buy an easel, it is wise to consider what medium you will be working with. If you work with watercolors or any other medium that might run, then you’ll want an easel either with a very low angle or one that lies flat. On the other hand, an easel for pastel painting needs to be virtually vertical so that the dust falls away from the piece.

    best easels for paintingAccordingly, one of the most important considerations when purchasing an easel is the angle at which it will hold your work. Some easels are adjustable so that you can choose at what degree your canvas rests. This also may make it more comfortable for you to work for long periods.

    Another critical factor to weigh is where you will be working. If you will be in a studio, then you probably want an easel that is quite heavy and sturdy because portability isn’t a concern.

    The heavier and sturdier an easel is, the longer it is likely to last. Moreover, it will probably be able to support a much heavier load than a portable easel, which increases your options.

    Artists who will be working in the field or who are interested in traveling for their work will want a lighter weight, portable easel. Many of these can be set up or torn down in seconds, and they weigh less than three pounds. When folded, they can measure less than 15″ in length, which makes them easy to pack up and go.

    painting easel for beginners

    If you will be working in a variety of settings, then you want your easel to boast plenty of adjustability. Ideally, the height can be adjusted to accommodate larger works or a taller artist.

    As these easels usually are tripods, it’s an advantage to be able to adjust each of the legs independently of the others. This means that the easel maintains perfect stability while on uneven terrain.

    Don’t forget to take a look at how each easel holds your work. Some simply allow your canvas to rest on a pair of rubberized clamps while others feature clamps at both the top and bottom.

    If you paint with a light hand, you may not need the top clamp. However, if you have a heavier hand or prefer broader strokes, you may need the added stability of a top clamp to keep your work in place.

    Painting Easel FAQ

    Do I even need an easel?

    Depending on which medium you are working with, an easel can make a demonstrable difference. If you’re sitting as you paint, you can angle the canvas toward you so that the top is easier to reach. If you’re standing, you’ll be able to reach every corner of the canvas without straining.

    As you work, you have the ability to adjust the height and angle of the canvas, giving you the opportunity to use broad, confident strokes. The easel also holds your work away from accidental spills and other mishaps that might destroy your efforts.

    Are artist’s easels portable?

    If you’re relatively new to painting, you may have gotten acquainted with a large, stationary, wooden easel in the classroom. However, that’s just one type of easel. Easels for oil painting may be made of lightweight metal and designed to collapse in seconds.

    Weighing less than three pounds, these models can be packed up and taken anywhere. They also are affordable so new artists don’t have to break the bank.

    Are easels expensive?

    heavy duty painting easelWhile it is possible to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a deluxe, professional-quality easel, this is not necessary.

    The investment may be worthwhile for a professional who spends hours each day working in the studio. For the hobbyist or part-time artist, there’s no need to go to this expense.

    Functional, high-quality easels may have a surprising number of features as far as adjustability and portability, making them an excellent value.
