Access Easel by Artristic

Description

Introducing the Access Easel – bringing you a whole new world of artistic possibility!

Easels were never meant to limit your creativity, but some things just aren’t easy or comfortable when painting or drawing with a traditional easel. So, of course, our team have taken up the challenge once again. After years of design, development and testing, we bring you the latest addition to the Artristic range. Say “Hello!” to the Access easel by Artristic. Whatever you need from an easel, you’ll find it in your Access easel. It offers even greater scope and flexibility than our much-loved Studio easel, greater weight capacity, and a mind-blowing array of configuration possibilities!

Access Easel is a complete game-changer for disabled artists.

• perfect for use while sitting, standing, or lying down
• get as close to your canvas as you need to be
• easily configured for painting with hands and feet
• individually customisable to suit wheelchair artists 
• move your canvas in any direction for maximum comfort while painting

When we say flexibility, we really mean flexibility!

Our new Access Easel tripod is next-level quality in tripods. Not only does it look beautiful with its steel highlights and custom branding, but it gives artists so many options in terms of setup. This is where the name “Access” comes from – we believe we’ve built the most accessible easel you’ll find. For artists in wheelchairs or with any mobility impairment, this easel can be configured in so many ways, accommodating each artist’s individual requirements and making painting accessible to all.

The new tripod has screw leg clamps for easy and quick setup. It comes with outdoor spikes for the tripod legs, which can easily be swapped over with the rubber feet for painting outdoors. There is also a stylish Weight Bag to counterbalance your tripod when needed – just the thing for holding the easel down when working outdoors.

Two Canvases at the Same Time!

We’ve built a tripod that will change the game for those who want two canvases available at once.

The tripod comfortably holds up to 20kg (44 pounds!), which means even greater flexibility. The Access tripod can hold two rotating hubs with up to 10kg of weight on each.

Yes, seriously. The Access Easel holds two of our Rotating Hubs! Perfect for artists with limited space, the ability to work on two full-size (up to 48”) canvases simultaneously with such a small footprint is an industry first. It is also great for schools and art classes, as two students can easily configure and share one easel. And, if you already have our Studio Easel – the rotating hub can be attached to the Access Easel as a second hub.

Order your Access easel with the options you prefer

We’ve also updated our product selection interface, allowing you to select one or two hubs at the time of purchase. Of course, you can also purchase a second hub later, but it will be significantly less expensive to buy as a package. Also, if you already have our Studio Easel – the rotating hub from that model can be attached to the Access Easel as a second hub.

It’s easy to purchase your Access easel with either Single or Dual Hubs—use the selector to choose your preferred configuration option, then add your easel to the cart. At the top of the page, you’ll see the price range across all available options and the price of each specific option once selected.

So, what else is different about the new Access Easel compared to our existing Studio Easel?

New Panhead Designs
We’ve developed two new custom-designed panheads for smoother operation and durability.

LX Panhead 
The LX panhead can hold up to 10kg, which is perfect for cradled wooden boards up to 48” x 48” or artists working in heavier mediums. It can tilt from horizontal to vertical and can be set at angles in between, but it must be used in a locked state—this is different from the FX panhead, which can be used in a semi-tensioned state, allowing you to adjust the angle as you paint.

The LX panhead offers extra strength and stability for artists working on heavier pieces.

FX Panhead
The FX panhead is designed to suit artists who like the semi-tensioned angle function, allowing you to adjust the angle of your canvas as you paint without needing to loosen or tighten a knob, and it also has the option to be locked at a desired angle. It can tilt from horizontal to vertical and can be set at any angle in between. Perfect for watercolour artists who like to control the speed of their paint drips and ideal for all forms of fluid art. The load capacity of the FX panhead is 5kg, so it will comfortably handle framed canvases up to 48″ x 48″ and cradled wooden boards up to 40″ x 40″. Our LX panhead has a capacity of up to 10kg for heavier loads.

We designed both of these new custom Panheads for improved reliability. They are strong and beautifully manufactured. 

This is an exciting improvement for our easels. To complement our new panheads, our extendable T-Bar Arms have also been ‘beefed up’ and can now hold 10kg. These new T-Bars will come standard on all Access Easels.  

Endless Configuration Options–Work as high or low as you need

The Access Easel is the perfect sitting easel for any type of seating, from floor cushions and low or high stools to balance balls and wheelchairs.
