What is the difference between a table easel and a floor easel?
A table easel sits on a table and takes up little space. A floor-standing easel offers more adjustability and is suitable for large canvases.

An aluminum easel is lightweight, foldable, and easy to transport — perfect for trips.
Do easels support large canvases?
Yes. Studio easels and more robust wooden easels are designed to support large canvases up to several kilos.
Can an easel be folded and stored in a small space?
