Painting pedestals

Painting pedestals

Paint bases are available in different sizes (for painting standing or sitting in front of a table), and different materials. Here is an explanation of the different types of sinks and how to use them.

As part of the necessary equipment for drawing or sketching you will need an easel. Easels have been used by mankind since the days of ancient Egypt until today. The market offers a variety of easels of different sizes (for drawing while standing or sitting in front of a table) and different materials (mostly wood or metal). The easels are useful for the work process in painting, drawing and even sculpting (when sculpting a relief) and also for displaying the works. There is a noticeable effect on the work process and the result when using an easel and not working on the table as in writing. You should know different types of pedestals in order to choose the right pedestal for you.

Explanation of easels

The drawing easels are divided into desktop easels for sitting drawing in small formats and standing easels for standing drawing for drawing in small or large formats. To work on paper, it is necessary to attach the paper to plywood or a hard board with a clip and place it on an easel.

The use of an easel is highly recommended for drawing and sketching, as the drawing or sketching surface will be vertical, in front of the eyes at an angle that is comfortable for work, thus preventing vision distortions in the perspective and proportions of the object chosen for sketching, which may be caused when the page or canvas is placed on the table as in writing. 

The position of the canvas or the page in relation to the eyes and hands affects the correct holding of the brush or pencil and the execution possibilities, as well as the quality and accuracy of the drawing or drawing. When the drawing medium is placed on the easel, wider and freer movement is possible for the hands and arms. When the drawing hand moves freely, activating the arm and shoulders, the level of expressiveness increases. A notable advantage of using an easel when drawing or sketching while observing a still life, model or landscape is the fact that you don't have to raise your head every time to observe. The eyes work in a straight relationship with the hands and when estimating size and proportions, the measurement is more accurate and is applied in drawing or sketching immediately without the process of changing the angle which is done when the drawing surface is flat and planar.
