An Overview of Studio Easels
Artists look for several important features in their studio easels. The ideal easel is easily adjusted to hold the canvas at a variety of heights and angles. This allows him to work comfortably and to view his work from the best angle at all times. The easel will also be sturdy enough to withstand years of use.
The artist can choose from a great range of easel stands. Some of these may be small tabletop easels for working on miniatures, while the largest easels are suitable for use only in a large studio. They also range in price from the very inexpensive A-frames that merely hold a canvas on a shelf to expensive models that are fully adjustable.
A-frames are what many people associate with studio easels. Some of these are specifically designed for use as field easels and can be folded and carried easily. Others are made from quality hardwoods such as beech and oak and include support features that make them suitable for studio painting. These more expensive models are more rigid than many of the lighter weight, inexpensive models.
Professional artists often prefer to work with H-frame easels because they are have a very strong 4-legged base and can support very large canvases. Thanks to their rigid construction, H-frame easels can also include a greater variety of height and angle adjustment features than A-frames can. Generally speaking, if you are looking for more adjustment options, expect to pay more for your easel.
If an artist wants to make the best use of his media, he looks for the most versatile studio easels that he can find. Those that have a range of height adjustments that allow him to paint either standing or sitting help lessen fatigue. If the canvas can be tilted either forward or backwards to a wide variety of angles, it helps the artist use whatever paints he chooses most advantageously.
The choice of a wood, aluminum or metal easel stands is up to the artist's personal preference and needs. Many professional artists still choose an easel made from quality hardwoods because while heavy, they are still movable to some extent. This allows the artist to shift the position of his easel to suit the light conditions, for example.
If you are thinking about purchasing an A-frame, you should seriously consider getting one with a height adjustable rear leg. You will find that if the back leg is of fixed height and you want to paint on a near vertical canvas, the easel may become very unstable. An adjustable rear leg offers you a wider, more stable base.
While studio easels are the most expensive art supply that an artist will purchase, you should not select an easel on price alone. You will find that your choice of easel will have a major effect on how well you work and how much you enjoy painting, so choose your easel carefully.
