Aluminum construction means this easel weighs roughly half what comparable wood models do, a difference you'll appreciate every time you move it between rooms or pack it for workshops. The frame holds canvases up to 48 inches high in its standard configuration, extending to 60 inches with the optional attachment for larger works. Studio Designs built both tilt and height adjustment into the design, letting you position surfaces at comfortable working angles whether you're standing or seated.

Black anodized finish resists scratching and maintains its appearance through years of studio use. The integrated palette holder keeps your mixing surface within reach, eliminating the need for separate tables or awkward balancing acts. When you need floor space back, the easel folds flat for storage against walls or transport in vehicles, no disassembly required, no loose parts to track.

This easel handles serious painting while remaining genuinely portable. The aluminum frame provides stability for wet canvas work without the weight penalty of steel or hardwood construction. Studio painters working in limited space and plein air artists who need reliable equipment for location work both find this combination of capacity and portability gets them painting rather than wrestling with equipment.
