For the serious artist, having a place to work is crucial. There are few better options for artists to work on than an easel. An easel provides plenty of coverage when it comes to drawing, painting, or sketching. Plus, you can always show off your creations on an easel after you’re done with the masterpieces. Easels can give you a sturdy hold, so your work space won’t move as you are using it. You can also use easels if you’re doing a presentation at work, allowing you a better surface to get your point across on. With any of the three options we’ve highlighted for you below, you’ll be able to keep creating and then allow fans to admire.

Best Adjustable Easel

With the ability to change the height and the angle, the T-SIGN Reinforced Artist Easel Stand gives you a lot of flexibility. It can sit as low as 21″ or it can be raised up to 66″ or be placed anywhere in between. The easy turn knobs allow quick adjustments in height and when it’s collapsed to its lowest, it can be stored that way. It also comes with a carrying bag that you can throw over your shoulder. It can hold canvases up to 33″ tall or 25 lbs heavy. The top clamp is spring loaded to keep your canvas steady. This easel is made from aluminum.
