It also has a large storage shelf built into the base, which is perfect for holding your art materials. Workstations You will also need to think about the size of your work and where it will need to sit in relation to you.

Tripod easels, as the name suggests, have three legs, and may include crossbars to make the easel more stable. H-Frame easels, again as you'd expect, resemble a letter 'H' and are constructed of two vertical posts with a horizontal crossbar support. Both types of design may have extra features for rotating the canvas and adjusting it horizontally and vertically. Nothing tops the classic French easel when it comes to portability.

Made from durable beechwood, this A-frame design easel is perfect for casual painting sessions. While it is not suitable for professional artists, it does provide a space-efficient and cost-effective solution for those who want to explore the world of painting.
