Does It Matter What Medium I'm Using?

If you paint only with watercolors, you probably will want an easel / easels  which will only hold your work horizontal. But if you use different mediums such as pastels, pencil and oils, look for something that'll be easy to adjust the angle at which you're working. A good choice would be the TRIDENT Euro French easel / easels as long as you do not intend to paint on canvases larger than 33”. If you only paint with Oils, you should be looking for an easel / easels that will hold your paintings vertically or near vertical. Acrylics dry fast, dust is not a problem.
