  1. How to Choose the Ideal Easel ! Copenhagen, DK, Apr 14, 2017-Easel is a basic painting tool that comes in different sizes, designs, materials and varying costs. It is also one of the most expensive art equipment and expectantly most durable products that you may purchase as an artist. Moreover, you are going to spend most of your time painting on your easel, which means it also needs to be comfortable and adjustable to meet your specific needs. Hence, it needs to be researched well and bought wisely. Before investing in an easel it is necessary that you know about the various types of easels and be clear about your own requirements.   So,   in   case   you   are wondering how to choose the ideal easel for yourself consider the following. Which medium do you usually work with? If you like to work with colors that are too liquid in nature like watercolors, thin or   fluid   acrylics   or   if   create   artwork using mixed media, then you must need to work on a horizontal or a very low angled surface. Some watercolor  easels are formed such that they let you work at a preferred angle while also giving you the choice of working on a table. For other media like pastels or oils, it is advantageous to have an easel that lets you paint on a canvas laid vertical to the subject, especially when working from life. In case of pastel colors, a vertical or tilted forward easel surface allows the pastel dust to fall down without making the painting a mess. Similarly, when working in oil or acrylic, working on vertically adjusted easel will prevent dust from settling on the painting. It is especially beneficial for oil paintings, which need a much longer time to dry.

  2. For life drawing, an A­frame or tripod easel will work the best since it can be easilyFor life drawing, an A­frame or tripod easel will work the best since it can be easily folded and carried around. Do you want to work in the studio or plein air? While an easel that is bulky and bigger in size can work fine in a studio, an easel needed for some plein air painting needs to be compact, light and portable. A box easel will work best for the latter where you can also store your art material in the attached box of the easel. How much space do you have? A floor easel generally takes up a lot of space, hence if you are short on space and do not work on big canvasses, a table easel would be ideal for you. What is your painting style? If you have a heavy hand and usually work in big strokes and large canvasses, a sturdy and big easel like an H­frame easel is what you may want. However, the sturdier the easel is the costlier it will be. On the other hand, if you work on smaller canvasses and have light painting technique, then a table or A­frame easel will do good for you. Staffeleishop is a renowned and trustworthy website from where you can buy all kinds of easels at the best prices. They provide you with high quality easels that are sturdy, durable and perfect to meet all your needs to produce an impeccable piece of art.
