Tripod/Field Easel - Generally
easy to handle and fold up.
They are lightweight, portable
and single masted. They do not
provide the stability of the Lyre
or H-Frame easels but their light
weight and ease of transport
makes them ideal for field use.


French/Box Easel - A 3-in-1
easel comprising a sketchbox, an
easel, and a canvas carrier. They
are lightweight and portable and
allow you to carry painting materials
easily into the field. The angle at
which you work can be varied
between vertical and horizontal.


Studio Easel – Also known as an
H-Frame easel, these easels are
based on right-angles. All posts are
generally parallel to each other with
a sturdy rectangular base. Studio
easels can accommodate much
larger canvases than other easels and
often have crank adjustments and
paint trays. Most offer a forward tilt
making them even more convenient
for painters. Studio easels are stable
and sturdy and available in many
variations including double masts.


JULLIAN EASELS
The name Jullian is synonymous
with easel design and construction.
They count among the most
prestigious easels in the world.
During the Second World War,
Roger Jullian, a French prisoner of
war, devoted himself to designing
the perfect sketch box easel.
When the war ended, Jullian
returned to France and formed
the Julian Company, employing
French craftsmen to produce the
original French Box easel – now
the most popular and most copied
(but never replicated) easel in
the world! Jullian Easels have
been the preferred choice of
artists for more than 60 years.
