Field Easels

Field easels are designed specifically for taking the art outside of the studio. They are always built as portable easels. Often, field easels are also built with storage compartments to house the artists’ supplies like paints, brushes and canvasses. These easels are almost always quite small and easily carried.

Because of their smaller size, field easels usually cannot accommodate large canvases. A common type of field easel is called the sketch-box easel, also known as the French box easel.
