Despite their compact nature, these easels do not compromise on stability, providing a secure platform for your canvas. With such innovative functionality, they enhance the artistic process, making it seamless and enjoyable, no matter where creativity strikes.
Why Varnish is Essential for Artists
For artists, varnish is a key component of creating long-lasting, visually striking artwork. It seals the surface, protecting it from dust, scratches, and environmental elements that can degrade its appearance over time. Oil varnishes enhance the natural textures and depth of oil paintings, while acrylic varnishes provide a versatile finish that complements acrylic works. Varnish also allows artists to tailor the final presentation, offering finishes that range from high gloss to understated matte. In addition to protection and aesthetics, varnish makes cleaning artwork easier, ensuring it remains vibrant and intact. Including varnish as part of the artistic process ensures that each creation is preserved and presented at its best.

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.
