Drawing is one of the most interesting directions in creativity. But in order to paint a picture, you need to choose the right not only brushes and paints, but also an easel.
For some people, being creative, namely drawing, is an integral part of life in the form of a hobby or professional activity. Artists and hobbyists alike place particular emphasis on the materials and devices with which they work. So easels are an integral part of the creative process, so there is a need to consider these auxiliary items in more detail.
The main types of easels
So, at the moment there are three main types of easels, these are: tripod easels, vertical panel easels (stationary), and sketchbooks. Each type of easel has its own characteristic features. For example, tripods are very easy to assemble and use. Such an easel can always be disassembled, while when folded, this device takes up very little space.
At the same time, the easels of the vertical panel are very convenient, having the functions of adjusting the height and angle of inclination, but they take up a lot of space due to their stationarity. The principle of fastening paper or stretched canvas in these types of easels is practically unchanged. At the bottom there is a small panel for disposing of consumables: pencils, paints, brushes and more.
Sketchbooks can be used outdoors to paint pictures from nature. At the same time, when assembled, this device turns into a small suitcase, with which you can make long journeys to the place of writing the canvas.
Most popular easels
The most popular are tripod easels. This is due to their convenience and compactness. In addition, you can make such an easel yourself if you do not want to spend money on its purchase.
For work in the studio or at home, easel-tables are often used, that is, easels with a vertical panel. This type is convenient when working in one place, since its transportation is hampered by the inability to disassemble the object into smaller parts with subsequent assembly. At the same time, each type of easel is intended for a specific intended use, however, the tripod can rightfully be considered the most universal, since it can be used both for permanent work in the studio and for working from nature in nature, of course, if it is not too large.
