Choosing the Right Easel for Art School
When embarking on your artistic journey in art school, one of the key elements that can make or break your experience is the easel you select. The right easel can enhance your creative process and help you showcase your artistic skills in the best possible light. At our store, we offer a wide variety of easels that cater to different artistic needs and preferences. Whether you need a sturdy H-frame easel for large-scale paintings, a portable A-frame easel for plein air painting, or a tabletop easel for small-scale projects, you'll find the perfect fit in our collection. Each easel in our range is made from high-quality materials, ensuring lasting performance and durability to withstand the rigours of art school. We understand that every artist has unique needs, and we aim to provide versatile easels that can be adjusted to suit your specific requirements, allowing you to focus purely on your creativity.
Building a Reliable Art School Kit
A well-rounded art school kit supports learning across multiple mediums and techniques, giving students the flexibility to meet course requirements and explore new skills. Basic drawing tools like HB to 8B graphite pencils, kneadable erasers, and blending stumps are essential for tonal studies and linework. Watercolour pans, acrylic paint tubes, and beginner oil paint sets allow students to experiment with colour, layering, and composition. A selection of brushes—flat, round, filbert, and detail—will prepare artists for various applications across canvas and paper. Accessories such as masking tape, paper towels, water jars, and aprons are often overlooked but make the creative process smoother.

Selecting the right art supplies for school depends on the course requirements, personal artistic style, and the techniques being explored. Students studying fine art will need a strong foundation in both wet and dry media, including drawing pencils, charcoal, and water-based paints. Design or illustration-focused students may prioritise markers, technical pens, and digital-compatible sketchbooks. Paper selection is critical—smooth bristol boards, textured watercolour paper, and heavyweight cartridge pads all offer different benefits depending on the medium. Brushes and tools should be chosen based on flexibility and ease of control, especially when switching between painting, inking, or detail work.
