I'm looking for some help from any artists or painters who have experience using an easel to hold canvas.
My girlfriend really enjoys painting but has fallen off in recent years due to an increasingly busy schedule of law school and work. We both agree she needs to take some time to relax and decompress after her long days, and on weekends, and she has talked about starting to paint again, but hasn't made any moves. I'm planning on converting part of our house into a little art studio for her and wanted to get a nice easel for her to use.
I have NO experience and don't know where to begin looking other than google. I've pasted some that I saw that looked nice, but I don't really know if I'm on the right track or not. She paints with both oil and water colors if that helps with the decision.
Any advice for me? It's for Christmas, so we have some time. Budget would be less than $200. Thanks!
