Easels
In support of Winsor and Newton's main colour and brush ranges, they also offer a comprehensive range of artists' accessory products.
The selection of fine quality easels covers requirements both when sketching and in the studio. As with all Winsor & Newton products, unstinting attention to quality ensures excellent products.
Choosing an easel is an important decision for an artist. The choice will vary according to an artists' style, preferred media and quite often space availability. We offer a range of easels to cover all requirements, provide firm support, give long lasting service and above all provide unsurpassed quality expected from Winsor & Newton.
The majority of easels are made from beechwood, however there are a selection of steel and aluminium variants too, as well as a variety of differing styles.
