After 30 minutes, you feel it in your neck and shoulders. After an hour, it affects how accurately you can judge colour placement and proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn easel solves all of this at once. Your canvas sits upright at eye level. Your back stays straight. Your brush hand approaches the canvas from a natural angle rather than reaching down across a flat surface. You can step back from the canvas at any point to see the whole composition properly, which is impossible when it is lying on a table in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also makes the experience feel more intentional. There is something about painting at an easel that shifts the mindset from crafting to creating.
