Choosing the Right Easel — What to Consider

Selecting the right easel comes down to a few key factors:

Canvas Size

Large works need larger frames and greater stability. Studio H‑frame or heavy duty models are ideal for canvases over ~120 cm.

Painting Style

• Watercolour & drawing: A table easel or smaller wood stand works well. 

• Oil & acrylic painting: A sturdy studio model makes long sessions more comfortable.

• Plein Air (outdoor): Portable easels such as A‑frames or lightweight tripods help you paint on location.

Workspace & Portability

Think about how much space you have and whether you need to move your easel frequently. Wheels, fold‑flat designs, or tabletop options may suit smaller studios.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Luca easels offer a flexible and affordable range that meets the needs of artists from hobbyists to professionals. With models suited to studio settings, home spaces and outdoor painting, they’re a solid choice when you want quality without compromising on versatility.
