Easels

Every art studio needs an easel whether you want to sit, stand or paint outside, and if you are working on canvas or other larger items.

Palettes

I use all the pallets I have listed below. However, I mostly just use my large glass table. But it is nice to have these on hand if painting outside or on the go.

Chairs

Sit, stand, swivel. Every studio needs chairs.

Sometimes while at the easel you want a chair that can go high enough or low enough when you don't want to stand.

Storage

Within your art studio you need a place to store your supplies and finished canvas art.

This is little canvas holder is on my wish list. It holds smaller canvases or paper while they dry. Is that not just perfect? Right now I just put mine on top of the table.

Tables

I have gotten lucky enough that I inherited a few tables in my lifetime and they are now in my studio. You can look what I have chosen here or go to thrift stores and yard sales. you can always find inexpensive tables somewhere.
