Metallic Folding Easel | Portable Adjustable Art Stand for Paint by Numbers and Canvas Display
Metallic Folding Easel | Portable Adjustable Art Stand for Paint by Numbers and Canvas Display
🎁 BUNDLE & SAVE - Limited Time Offer
Most painters work flat on a table and do not realise how much that limits them until they try an easel. Your posture changes. Your perspective on the canvas changes. The way you hold a brush changes. This Metallic Folding Easel is the simplest upgrade you can make to your painting setup, and it costs less than most individual art supplies.
Built from durable aluminium alloy, it is light enough to carry anywhere but solid enough to hold a canvas completely still while you work. It sets up in under a minute and folds flat for storage when you are done.
Two Setups. One Easel.
Extend all three legs to full height for a standing studio setup. Paint at eye level with your canvas fully upright — the natural way to work on a larger piece.
Shorten the legs and place it on a desk or table for a comfortable seated setup. Ideal for everyday painting sessions and smaller spaces.
- Adjustable height — Telescoping tripod legs with easy locking clips adjust in seconds to your preferred working height, whether seated or standing.
- Durable aluminium alloy — Lightweight enough to carry to a class or workshop, sturdy enough to hold your canvas completely still while you work.
- Non-slip rubber feet — Three rubber-tipped legs keep the easel anchored on any surface, including smooth floors and polished tables.
- Universal canvas holder — The adjustable canvas bracket fits 20" x 16" paint by numbers canvases, diamond painting frames, and most standard artboards.
- Folds flat in seconds — Collapses into a compact form and stores in the included travel pouch. Takes up minimal space between sessions.

Why an Easel Changes Everything
Painting flat on a table is fine for short sessions, but it forces you to hunch over your canvas and view your work from an angle rather than straight on. 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.
An 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.
It also makes the experience feel more intentional. There is something about painting at an easel that shifts the mindset from crafting to creating. If you paint regularly, this is the single most worthwhile thing you can add to your setup.

This easel makes an excellent addition to any paint by numbers kit gift. It adds real practical value — the kind that gets used every session rather than set aside after the first use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an easel for paint by numbers?
You can complete a paint by numbers kit without one, but an easel makes the experience noticeably better. It keeps your canvas upright at eye level so you can see your work accurately rather than at a flat angle. It improves your posture significantly during longer sessions, eliminating the neck and back strain that comes from hunching over a table. It also lets you step back from the canvas to assess the whole composition at any point, which is impossible when the canvas is flat in front of you. Most painters who try an easel once do not go back.
Can I use this easel on a table or does it only work as a floor easel?
Both. The telescoping legs adjust to two distinct setups. Extend all three legs fully for a standing floor easel that holds your canvas at eye level. Shorten the legs to set it on a desk or table for a comfortable seated tabletop setup. The locking clips hold each leg firmly at your chosen height.
Is this easel difficult to set up?
No. The telescoping tripod design with locking clips takes under a minute to set up from folded to ready. No tools required, no complicated assembly. Fold it back down just as quickly when you are finished.
Will it fit the TheSparkleGrid 20" x 16" canvas?
Yes. The adjustable canvas holder is designed to fit the standard 20" x 16" canvas included in all TheSparkleGrid paint by numbers kits. It also accommodates diamond painting frames and most other standard artboard sizes.
Is the easel stable enough to hold the canvas while I paint?
Yes. The aluminium alloy frame is rigid and the three non-slip rubber feet keep the easel anchored on any surface, including smooth floors and polished tabletops. The canvas sits securely in the adjustable bracket without shifting during painting.
How compact is it when folded?
The easel folds down into a compact slim form that fits in the included travel pouch. It stores easily in a closet, under a bed, or in a bag for transport to a class or workshop. It takes up minimal space between painting sessions.
Can I use it to display finished paintings?
Yes. The easel works well as a display stand for finished canvas paintings, framed artwork, signs, and presentations. Its clean black finish and metal construction look professional in any setting.
Is this easel a good gift alongside a paint by numbers kit?
Yes, and it is one of the most practical combinations you can give. A paint by numbers kit paired with this easel gives the recipient everything they need for a complete, comfortable painting experience from the first session.
