Choose the Right Easel for Your Painting Setup
The easels collection is built for different painting routines, from compact desk sessions to larger studio projects. If you paint in a smaller space, tabletop easels are usually the most practical starting point. The compact wooden model (50 × 27 cm) keeps your canvas lifted without taking over your workspace, while the Sinoart E58 adds 0–90° tilt adjustment and supports canvases up to 53 cm for more control in detail work.
If you move your setup often, portable models are the better fit. The Sinoart E63 aluminum easel is lightweight, foldable, and includes a carrying bag, with support up to 84 cm. The Sinoart E18 field easel offers a wider working range, with adjustable height from 84 to 185 cm and canvas support up to 106 cm. These models work well for shared spaces, classes, and occasional outdoor painting.
For a more permanent workspace, studio easels provide stronger stability and higher capacity. The Sinoart E17 supports canvases up to 135 cm, the E8 supports up to 127 cm with adjustable overall height, and the E7 H-frame supports up to 140 cm. The Sinoart E28 adds a practical 2-in-1 option that combines easel use with built-in storage, supporting canvases up to 85 cm.
Whether you paint by numbers, diamond painting, or traditional acrylic pieces, the right easel improves posture, brush control, and session comfort. A simple way to choose is to match three things first: your usual canvas size, how much space you have, and how often you need to move your setup.
Frequently asked questions
Will this feel too difficult for me?
Usually not, as long as you start with a clear design rather than the most fragmented option in the collection. Paint by Numbers also suits beginners because the image is already mapped out into numbered areas, so you do not have to plan everything from scratch. If you want the smoothest first experience, start with a calmer composition and leave the most detailed kits until later.
What size should I choose first?
For most people, 40x50 cm is the best first size. It gives you enough room for detail without making the project feel too large or too slow. If you are choosing between two options, a clear 40x50 cm kit is usually a safer first pick than a smaller but highly fragmented design.
Why can two kits with the same colour count feel different?
Because colour count is only one part of the picture. If one kit contains many tiny broken-up sections and another uses broader, clearer areas, the painting experience can feel completely different even with the same number of colours. Size, region count and overall image density matter just as much when a kit feels relaxed or more meticulous.
Do I need better brushes?
No. Each Paint by Numbers kit includes 4 brushes, and they are enough to get started without buying anything extra. If you paint often or enjoy very fine detail work, you may want to add separate brushes later, but you do not need them for your first kit.
How long does one kit take to finish?
That mainly depends on size, detail level and how fragmented the design is to paint. A clearer kit may move along in a few relaxed painting sessions, while a denser and more detailed project takes more time and patience.
What is included in the kit?
Each kit includes a numbered canvas, acrylic paints, 4 brushes and a colour chart. That is enough to get started without extra purchases. If you want to expand your setup later, accessories and framing options are available on their own pages.
