Types of standing easels

There are different types of standing easels, with each designed to meet specific artistic needs. A-frame easels, or lyres, have a triangular shape with three legs. They can fold flat, which makes them easy to carry and store. These lyres are an excellent choice for artists with small or medium-sized canvases. H-frame easels have a strong and stable construction that can support large or heavy canvas projects. They resemble the letter H when viewed from the front because they have two vertical sidebars connected with a horizontal crossbar. These H-frame easels can tilt from an upright position to a table. Tabletop easels are placed on top of a desk or table, making them ideal for small painting projects. They occupy limited space and are easy to transport and store away. Some tabletop easels have storage boxes. Convertible easels are versatile as they can tilt from a normal vertical position to a fully horizontal position. They give artists multiple working angles and can accommodate different sizes of canvas. Portable standing easels are compact, lightweight, and easy to transport. They can be taken outside, making them a great option for artists who love to work outdoors. Standing easels for display are mostly used to showcase the finished work of artists in galleries, art exhibitions, or studios. Children's standing easels are smaller and specifically designed for young artists. They have extra features like colorful designs, double-sided easels, magnetic surfaces, storage trays, and accessories.

Frame materials of standing easels

Wooden standing easels are a popular option for artists because of their natural beauty, sturdiness, and durability. They can withstand force from the artist’s movement without shaking. Metal standing easels made of steel or aluminum have a lightweight design for portability and transportation ease. They are resistant to rusting or bending to ensure durable performance. Artists can use metal easels in indoor and outdoor settings. Plastic standing easels are more affordable than wooden and metal easels. They are mostly used for children standing easels because they are lightweight and easy to maintain.
