If you are indulging in studio work, where you don’t have to go outside, choose an easel heavier and bigger. If you have plans to go outside for painting portraits, use light weighted portable easel for easy carrying. Tripod easel with easy adjustable legs can also suit for this medium of work.

Table top easel can also be used because it can foldable easily and covers less space. Another option is sketch box easel if you have plans for painting outside. It will help you to store your material into box safely.

Space constrains

Painting style

Choose easel depending on your work style instead of choice, if you have vigorous work to perform in a day, you might need a strong and sturdy easel. Floor standing easel and H frame easel is useful in this situation. Easel will get expensive depending upon the size & feature.

If your painting style is delicate, not that harsh way of performing the assignments, then a frame and tabletop easel can do wonder easily. Display easels are used to display the artwork which you have designed not used for sturdy work to perform.
