Does It Matter What Medium
I am Using?
If you paint only with watercolors, you probably will want an easel
which will only hold your work horizontal. But if you use different
mediums such as pastels, pencil and oils, look for something that'll
be easy to adjust the angle at which you're working. A good choice
would be the TRIDENT Euro
French Easel as long as you do not intend to paint on canvases
larger than 33”. If you only paint with Oils, you should be
looking for an easel that will hold your paintings vertically or
near vertical because they will collect less dust. Acrylics dry fast
enough for dust not to be a real problem.
Display, Sketching and
Portable Easels
Display easels like the TRIDENT Dartmouth
easel are made for showing a painting without the risk of falling
over, they are built with a wide base. It is important to check how
small the easel folds down. Other easels are also useful for
propping up paintings so as to dry properly. You can use pastels,
watercolor and oils with the new TRIDENT Chariot.
The brother to this great design is the TRIDENT Caravaggio.
The Caravaggio comes with the finest knobs u will find anywhere.
This easel is strong and will take
punishment.
Table-Top Easels
If space is an issue these are great as they don't take up floor
space and some of these easels can be folded up. Available in
various sizes and configurations, including ones that are
scaled-down versions of floor-standing easels, tripod easels
(three-legged), and a few with storage boxes. These particular
designs will not accept large-scale canvases. The ease of painting
also depends on the height of your work surface; be cautious of
having bend down to paint.
Art
Sketchbox or Paintbox Easels
Variations on a table-top easel, these have a box in which to store
your painting supplies. The lid of the TRIDENT Emperor
box has a lip on which to stand your canvas. If you are just
starting out, consider buying one that comes with paints, brushes,
etc, inside.
French Easels
A French easel is a three-in-one easel: a
sketch-box, an easel, and a
canvas carrier. The
sketch-box holds your painting supplies and
palette and the TRIDENT El
Greco French Easel has a lower compartment; the legs and
canvas-holding arm collapse to make it easy to carry; the canvas
holder can double as a canvas carrier. The angle on an El Greco
French Easel at which you work can be varied between vertical and
horizontal.
Studio Easels
The ones with a square foot are more stable than the ones with three
legs (two at the front, one at the back) but these easels were not
designed to fold up or prop against a wall. The size of canvas you
use more often is the size canvas that should be your guide to
selecting the size of your easel. Don’t go overboard and spend a
lot of money on super sizing your choice. Studio easels can get
really huge, heavy, and cumbersome with gadgets that you will never
use. Some retailers sell them for outlandish amounts of money. Save
your hard earned money. A studio easel like the TRIDENT Rusia
H-Frame is large and attractive and it comes with a beautiful hinged
storage compartment. The Rusia easel can accommodate big canvases
with ease. Another easel that can handle project is the TRIDENT Galeria,
with its' large mast, it can accommodate large canvases and with
easel.
