How do I choose an easel for my painting?

Firstly, you need to determine the size of canvas you usually paint on. If you normally opt for smaller ones, an art desk easel will be your best option. But if you paint on larger canvas or require a designated painting spot, we recommend a floor art easel. 

Secondly, if you like to move your painting around, you’ll want to choose a portable easel as they’re lightweight and compact. Lastly, if you’re just displaying your artwork and not using the easel to paint on, try a display easel.
