Easels

We have a large selection of artist, painting, childrens, display and studio easels. These portable easels are large presentation easels, or small, table top or even mini drawing easels for school. They come in many styles, such as the popular french easel, dry erase boards, magnetic, chalkboard style, double sided, and even decorative easels. Most of our mobile easels are made from high-quality beech and elmwood, as well as aluminum and metal, and can come in natural colors as well as black and gold.

Easels are classic examples of art furniture. Easels have long been used as the place where you put your canvas to paint. The definition of an easel is an upright support used for displaying and/or fixing something resting upon it. It’s funny looking at the origins of the word easel. The word, easel, is an old Germanic synonym for donkey. And in other languages it means painters donkey and other variations on that. So, looking at easels today, they simply serve the painter. We’ve all seen easels in our lives, and PBS’ favorite painter, Bob Ross, helped them become household names. Easels are used by painters across the world and have been a part of some of the most impressive works of art ever created. Easels, therefore, are a vital part of the artistic process and should not be overlooked when setting up a studio or starting to create art for the very first time.

Easels can be constructed from a variety of materials. The most popular and common are woods, but easels can be constructed from plastics and metals as well. Aluminum makes for a good material as it is lightweight but also supplies a strong foundation for the painter. Easels can be categorized as useful and the epitome of a companion to artists. It is not uncommon for artists to take their easels out of the studio and into the wild, using the easels as a foundation for their canvas as they try and capture the beauty of nature. Easels can be taken from place to place with ease because of how they are constructed. They can be adjusted to different heights as well, giving you the option to have an easel that will be at the right height for all the different art that you will be creating over the years that you own your long lasting easels.

Easels are simple and usually not too heavy. They give you a good option for showcasing your art as well. Not only do they keep your canvas safe and secure while you are painting, you can also use easels to show off your hard work, your creations. In many art galleries, easels are the best option for showcasing the art when it is not mounted to the walls and provides the gallery with the ability to change shows from night to night. Easels are all around pieces of art furniture.
