Artists' Easels

SELECT FROM A MAGNIFICENT CHOICE OF EASELS AT S&S WHOLESALE

S&S Wholesale stocks a wide variety of easels for everyone from the beginner, student and hobbyist right through to the professional artist. There are many types of easels for different applications – painting or pastel work – indoor or outdoor use.

Easels are designed in a variety of styles to accommodate the many different ways artists work. There are five styles of easels: The Table Easel, the Tripod Easel, the Box or French Style Easel, the Lyre (A-Frame) Easel, and the Studio (H-frame) Easel. There are a number of variations to each of these which offer different tilt settings, storage options and size capabilities.

Every artist should know the joy of using exquisite equipment. BEST easels are known as some of the finest easels in the world. Each BEST easel is hand-made from North American Red Oak, sanded to a smooth surface, then hand-rubbed with oil to reveal the inherent beauty of the wood grain. There is no compromise in workmanship or quality. The craftsmen at BEST nail, glue and screw every joint – guaranteeing strength and precision. Designed and manufactured with the professional in mind, BEST easels are amazingly stable, completely functional and truly beautiful.

The BEST Deluxe Lobo is built in solid oak. This quad base easel is perfect for the mixed media painter. It is inexpensive, compact but sturdy, reliable, and very flexible. It can be used vertically for sketching or painting; and in seconds it can be adjusted to a horizontal position for pastel work, watercolour, gessoing or varnishing. It has a forward tilt for glare reduction.
