Many ways to attach your canvas!
When inspiration strikes, you want to know you can work exactly as you need to – without limitation or discomfort. This was top of mind when our founder Tony Barber developed the very first prototype for the artristic STUDIO easel and has been a primary focus of every new model since.
Whether you’re inspired to draw or paint on a triangular, hexagonal or round canvas, small or large canvases, try your hand at working with different canvas shapes, or even two canvases together, your artristic easel gives you the freedom and flexibility to do it all.

The versatility of the artristic Studio easel is obvious to any artist who wants to step outside the bounds of a standard square canvas and begin working with different shapes and sizes. For artists like renowned speed painter Haze Long being able to attach a large round or hexagonal canvas can open the door to unlimited creative potential and even greater performances. If you’d rather test your own limits by painting on triangular or hexagonal canvases the ability to paint all sides without extra drying time may be the thing you love most about your studio easel.
