Easel normally refers to a stand or frame supporting or displaying at an angle an artist’s canvas or a blackboard etc. This is the most helpful tool for an artist which helps him in keeping the painting in place when he’s working on it. You can hang the sheet on easel and work on it comfortably avoiding the risk of spilling paint on the work and also avoiding accumulation of dust.
