2. Why Every Artist Needs an Easel

An easel is an essential tool that supports both the technical and creative aspects of art-making. Easels keep your canvas secure and at an ideal angle, providing a clear, unobstructed view of your work. This upright position improves posture, reducing physical strain and allowing for precise brushwork. Easels also create an organised workspace, enabling artists to focus entirely on their creative vision. Their versatility means they can be adjusted for sitting or standing, making them suitable for different artistic techniques and preferences. Beyond practicality, easels inspire a sense of purpose and professionalism, enhancing the overall artistic experience. For anyone serious about their craft, an easel is a worthwhile investment.
3. How to Choose the Right Paper for Your Medium
Selecting the right paper begins with understanding your artistic medium and desired results. For watercolor painting, textured, absorbent paper prevents warping and allows colours to shine. Sketching and drawing benefit from smooth, fine-grain papers that enhance detail and precision. Artists working with pastels require paper with a toothy texture to hold pigment effectively. Mixed media projects call for versatile surfaces like canvas or heavy-duty paper. Consider the weight of the paper as well—heavier options are ideal for wet media, while lighter papers are suited for dry techniques. By matching the paper to your medium and project requirements, you can achieve professional results and bring your creative vision to life.
