Types of Easels

Outdoor & Portable easels
Portable Easels are compact and lightweight – they are easy to transport and carry if you are working outdoors. Some models even come with their own bag. We sort them into three different types – Sketching Field Easels, Box Easels, and the Pochade Box.

Sketching field easels
Sketching Field Easels look similar to a camera tripod. They have three legs with a triangular footprint. At the point where the three legs meet there will be a central column on which artwork can be rested. This column has a lower and upper canvas support to position your work. On some models this central column can tilt slightly while on others, like the Jakar Lightweight Field Easel, is rigid. The Jakar Lightweight Adjustable Watercolour Easel can tilt into a fully horizontal position.

Box easels
Box Easels are a type of portable, outdoor easel, but include a drawer or storage compartment for materials. They have the same tripod like structure, but with a box rather than just a central column. This box not only includes storage space for your materials, but also holds the central column and canvas supports. Like field easels, box easels are collapsible for easy carrying and storage. If you are painting on small canvas boards, they can sometimes be stored in the box compartment. These easels have a solid wood finish.

Pochade boxes
Although technically not an easel, the Pochade Box is a popular piece of kit with Plein Air painters. They are one of our best selling easels. Artists can use these boxes alone or affix our Camera Tripod Mounting Bracket. If you are mounting one on a tripod we would recommend strengthening the base with a sheet of plywood.

Camera tripod bracket
Our Camera Tripod Bracket is great if you want to transform your tripod into an easel. All you need to do is affix the bracket to the back of a board and then attach it to your easel. This is a great, inexpensive way to transform an existing tripod into an easel. This type of set up is popular with outdoor sketchers and water colourists as it provides a stable painting surface that is fairly lightweight and easily transportable.

Indoor & Studio easels
Easels designed for indoor use offer more stability than an outdoor easel. Studio Easels are the most heavy duty of all the easels we supply and are fantastic if you have the space to erect an easel permanently. If you work at a table that doubles up as a dining area then Table Easels offer a great working area that is easy to set up and that can be tidied away when not needed. Radial easels don’t take up as much space and are commonly seen in college and tutoring environments.

Table easels
Table Easels are small scale easels that are fantastic if you don’t have a permanent space dedicated to painting. They are easy to set up and are easily collapsible if you need to clear the table for another use. Some of these easels take the form of a miniature ‘H’ frame easel, some of an ‘A’ frame, while others have a solid back. There are also a number of models that incorporate a small storage area – even better if you need to pack your materials away quickly!

Radial easels
Radial Easels are the types of easels that you would typically come across in art schools and colleges. They offer a space saving alternative to bulky studio easels. The single central support has a hinge and a short tripod supports it. The hinge allows the easel to be titled to adjust the working angle, and the two canvas supports can be moved to accommodate your work. This style of easel doesn’t offer the same stability or strength as an H or A frame easel, but they cost considerably less and can be folded up when not in use.

A-Frame easels
A-Frame Easels (also known as ‘Lyre’ easels) are one of two types of Studio easel that we stock. They have a triangular structure and footprint. The front of the easel is made of wood arranged in an ‘A’ like shape, with the canvas supports and column in the middle.

H-Frame easels
H-Frame Easels are the sturdiest of all our studio easels and get their name from the shape of their robust frame. These easels have the largest footprint, which offers stability for even the most energetic painters! Artists’ usually set up an H-Frame permanently in one place. They aren’t as easy to deconstruct.
