How to Choose an Easel: Types of Easels, Tips & Pointers
An easel is an investment that should last for many, many years, so it pays to select a well-made easel that is designed for the work you need it to do. A good easel should support your work in a stable manner, be big enough to take your usual largest size, and suit the type of media you want to work with. If you work in very fluid colour like watercolour, it is best to have an easel that is able to support your work horizontally. For rendering in media less likely to drip, for example oil and acrylic paints or drawing materials, an easel that holds the work in a vertical position is best.
Mabef easels have been made in Italy since 1948, from the best raw materials – solid, dried beech wood from sustainable forestry; and quality brass and metal fittings. Their easels are finished with natural oils to conserve them and enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Mabef produce a huge range of easels that are ingeniously simple, easy to use and guaranteed to last your lifetime – that’s why we recommend Mabef to support your painting!
If you like to paint both sitting and standing, a crank handle easel lets you adjust the height easily with just a few quick turns.
Mabef M02 Double Mast Easel with Crank This Italian-made oiled-beech wood easel with its double masts is ideal for extra large works up to 2350mm high. The height is easily adjustable by a crank mechanism. The two masts and sturdy H-style base offer the extra stability needed for very large canvases. Two drawers are set into the side of the base plate for storage, castors allow for easy movement while levelling bolts hold the easel in position while in use.

Two drawers are set into the side of the base plate for storage, castors allow for easy movement while levelling bolts hold the easel in postion while in use. |
|
H-Frame easels are the sturdiest support for medium and large sized canvas and panels. They have a square base and a central column that is adjustable for height and inclination without compromising its stability. H-Frame easels are: Mabef M02 M04 M06 M07 M18 (pictured) and M19. |

They also great for artists working indoors with limited space.
