Choosing the right easel depends on your available space and technique. For a small apartment, choose a compact tabletop model, while large canvases in a studio call for a sturdy wooden studio easel. If you enjoy creating outdoors, a lightweight aluminum field easel is the ideal choice. We offer quality easels from brands such as ARTMiE, Royal & Langnickel, and Royal Talens for beginners and professionals.
Painting Easels – Tabletop, Studio, and Field
Painting easels are an essential tool for every painter. They hold the canvas at the right angle and let you paint comfortably while standing or sitting. At ARTMiE, we offer 60+ models of painting easels, from small tabletop easels to professional H-frame studio easels with a crank.

- How large are your canvases? – A tabletop easel is enough for canvases up to 50 cm. Choose an A-frame easel for up to 120 cm. For over 120 cm, choose an H-frame easel
- Do you have space? – An A-frame easel takes up 80×80 cm. An H-frame easel is a permanent piece of furniture

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting Easels
Do I need a painting easel if I’m a beginner?
It’s not essential, but it can make painting much more comfortable. A tabletop easel is the most affordable way to get started with painting, letting you work at the right angle without holding the canvas in your hands.
What’s the difference between an A-frame easel and an H-frame easel?
An A-frame easel (tripod) is lighter, foldable, and more affordable, making it suitable for most painters. An H-frame easel is the most stable, has a crank for precise height adjustment, and can hold canvases over 2 meters tall. It’s essential for professionals and galleries.
Can a painting easel also be used to display finished artwork?
Yes, mini display easels and tabletop easels are great for displaying finished artwork, photos, and menu boards in restaurants and at exhibitions.
Will a field easel fit on a plane?
Most field easels measure 55–65 cm when folded, so they fit in most carry-on bags. Check the exact dimensions before you travel.
