BUYING GUIDE
Plein air painting, the act of painting outdoors, captures the spirit of the natural world in a way that studio painting often can’t.

With a range of easels available, each with different features and designs, choosing the right one can significantly impact your plein air painting experience. Whether you’re a seasoned plein air artist or a beginner looking to venture into outdoor painting, this guide will help you navigate the key aspects to consider when selecting an easel for plein air painting, ensuring you find one that suits your artistic needs and enhances your outdoor painting sessions.
1. Portability:
Consider the weight and folded size of the easel. Lightweight and compact designs are essential for easy transport to various painting locations.
2. Material:
- Wood (usually beech or oak): Classic and sturdy, but can be heavier.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and weather-resistant, ideal for frequent travel and diverse weather conditions.
3. Setup and Ease of Use:
Look for easels that are quick and easy to set up, as plein air painting often involves working within limited timeframes and changing light conditions.
4. Stability:
An easel should be stable and sturdy enough to withstand outdoor elements like wind. Models with adjustable legs and ground spikes offer better stability on uneven surfaces.
5. Versatility:
Consider easels that accommodate various canvas sizes and have adjustable angles, allowing you to work comfortably whether sitting or standing.
6. Storage and Workspace:
Some easels come with built-in storage compartments or trays for paints, brushes, and other supplies, which can be very convenient for outdoor painting.

Quality construction ensures longevity. An easel that withstands regular use and exposure to the elements is a worthwhile investment.
8. Price:
Easels range from affordable to high-end. Determine your budget, considering how often you’ll use the easel and the importance of certain features.
9. Brand Reputation:
Opt for brands with positive reviews and a reputation for quality among plein air artists. Established brands often offer better customer support and warranties.
10. Personal Comfort:
Your physical comfort is important, especially during longer painting sessions. Consider the height and adjustability of the easel in relation to your preferred working posture.

Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from fellow plein air artists can provide insights into the real-world performance of different easels.
By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a plein air easel that not only complements your painting style and where you typically paint but also offers the portability, stability, and comfort needed for successful outdoor painting adventures.
