Types of Easels
An easel can make your life a lot easier. It is important to have a good support for your work. A
table, while providing support, does not give you the chance to stand back and look at your work.
It is best to have your work parallel to your eyes, supported on an easel.FRENCH EASEL
The French easel is one of the most versatile easels, and the one that we recommend. The photo on the left shows an easel
with its legs fully extended so that you can stand while you draw. Notice that its legs can be shortened so that you can sit
down and draw. The photo on the right shows the easel folded. You can see how compact it is and how easy it is to carry.
