How to Choose an Easel
When selecting an easel, consider several key factors. Making the right choice will help you work comfortably and achieve better artistic results.
Artwork Size
The easel should be a perfect fit for the dimensions of your work. If you work on small canvases, a tabletop easel might suffice. For larger canvases, you will need a floor-standing easel that matches the weight and scale of the piece.
Stability
A high-quality easel must provide a stable foundation for your work. Ensure that the easel is sturdy and well-constructed, especially if you work on heavy or large-scale canvases. Pay close attention to the adjustable height, tilting mechanisms, and the width of the base.
Type of Medium
An artist's easel is often designed with specific mediums in mind. Consider your paint type and technique. For example, a horizontal-fixing easel is beneficial for watercolors. For pastels, the ability to tilt vertically or at a negative angle is important, while for oil painting, adjustable angles help in managing light and glare.
Flexibility
If you work on detailed paintings, choose an easel that allows you to easily adjust the canvas angle and height. This will help you comfortably reach different sections of your artwork.
Portability
If you plan to move your easel frequently or work in various locations, choose a portable easel that is lightweight and easy to transport. Folding legs and a compact design are particularly useful features.
Personal Preference
Ultimately, choose an easel that aligns with your working style and goals. Consider the easel's height, the type of canvas support, and any additional features that will make your painting process more comfortable.
Art Easels vs. Display Easels
To keep a canvas stationary, an art easel typically features two supports—both top and bottom. A display (presentation) easel may only have a single bottom support. If a presentation is held outdoors, it is recommended to use an easel with two clamps to prevent the wind from dislodging the displayed item.
The Simple Rule of Color Mixing
Primary colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) create new colors when mixed together. This knowledge is especially useful when working at your easel.
- Red + Yellow = Orange
- Blue + Yellow = Green
- Red + Blue = Violet
Choosing and mixing the right colors will help you create higher-quality and more vibrant artworks.
Correct Canvas Positioning
When working at an easel, it is best to have the canvas close to eye level. This reduces fatigue and makes the creative process more comfortable.
- Position the center of the canvas near your eye level
- Tilt larger canvases slightly backward
- Work in a position that allows your arm to move freely

Proper Lighting for Painting
Good lighting is essential to perceive colors and tones accurately. Natural light is best; however, artificial lighting is also effective if positioned correctly.
- Light should come from the side
- Avoid strong reflections or glare on the canvas
- One constant light source is better than variable lighting
The right lighting combined with a high-quality easel ensures better results.
