Easels provide an ergonomic setup, allowing artists to work at eye level and reduce strain on the neck and back. This upright position also enhances precision, ensuring that lines and strokes are applied with better control. Additionally, an easel secures the canvas, preventing unwanted movement and allowing for a steady, consistent application of paint or other media. Easels are versatile and adjustable, accommodating various canvas sizes and artistic styles. Whether sketching, painting, or mixed media work, an easel creates an organised, professional workspace, helping artists focus entirely on their creativity.
