Cowling & Wilcox Lexington A2 Workstation

What is an A2 Easel?

The A2 easel is a portable tabletop easel that allows you to paint or sketch wherever you are. As the name suggests it will fit pictures up to A2 size (the table easel is 65 x 48 x 7cm). The high-quality wooden table easel is made from unvarnished beech and the hard-wearing surface means you can use tape to hold your project in place. 

Benefits of using a Table Easel

• Gives you an accurate viewing angle.

• Allows for versatile movements.

• Allows you to keep a good posture when working on your art.

• Adjustable angles allow you to see your artwork from a variety of perspectives (useful for making sure there is no glare).

About Cowling & Wilcox Easels

Cowling & Wilcox Ltd. began selling art supplies in London in 1960 and has been going strong ever since, offering high-quality art products and materials for nearly 60 years. To this day, we maintain our original concept of providing specialist fine and graphic art materials at exceptional prices, and we’re devoted to upholding this mission statement as we expand and evolve into the future.

With our incredible range of artist easels we’re offering you a wide selection to choose from, for use at home in your studio or for on the go. All of our easels are named after streets in and around London’s Soho.

We stock a variety of easels to ensure the artist’s every requirement is met.

Field or Portable Easels are designed to be taken outdoors, and are the perfect choice for travelling artists or those wanting to plein air paint. This type of easel is also preferable for artists who prefer a level of mobility around their studio. Folding to a lightweight, compact size, portable easels require little storage space.

Available in H-Frame, A-Frame and Single Mast designs, Studio Easels are ideal for the artist who has a dedicated studio space, where an easel can remain standing indefinitely.

H-Frame easels have a strong base that makes them sturdier than A-Frame easels, and better able to handle large canvases.

A-Frame or Lyre easels have two legs at the front and one at the rear, which pushes forward allowing the easel to be flattened and easily stored.

Single Mast easels are simple and affordable, a great choice for beginning artists, art students, or anyone with limited storage space.

Portable and easy to store, Table Easels are small enough to place on a table top, and perfect for artists who prefer to sit while working, or whose work is on a more modest scale.
