DIY Wall Easel for Art Painting (8 minutes)

This video explains how to create a simple wall support for your art canvas painting using a minimal amount of nails to secure it while offering lots of flexibility. In addition, how to add a poly cloth dropcloth to help protect your floors that is easily removed and replaced.

Glad I found your channel - after watching a few different versions of wall easels I've realised this is the best solution for my narrow wall space. Really practical and not as much impact on the wall as some I've seen. Plus, I was horrified when I discovered the French Cleat solution meant adding a lot of french cleats to the canvases I would work on! Thank you for sharing this fantastic solution.

Thank you!

[@dogloverjb6873]

how about a paint that you can wipe clean of paint? I do believe they make paints like that for kids rooms

[@elizabethobrienart6449]

That be awesome! Have to check it out.

Just what I needed to see and know. Can many different sized canvases be used on this system as am using bedroom wall and space is small? Will it still be firm enough. Would appreciate advice BEFORE I make any holes. Have found normal easels too heavy to move about these days.Thank you

Thanks so much! I’ve been looking all over for a video to do this! My studio is in the basement and I have cinderblock walls do you think I could do this but attach with liquid nails? (I’m trying not to drill into the wall)

[@elizabethobrienart6449]

Possibly, if your canvas aren't too big they would be able to handle it. I've never used liquid nails but sounds intriguing. Let me know if it works I have a workroom with the same situation which I would love to expand into.

Great Idea, how far apart do you recommend the main wood polls to be?

[@elizabethobrienart6449]

Hi I’d recommend 24 to 30 inches

[@elizabethobrienart6449]

It will depend on what size canvas you tend to use I have mine at 17 inches apart so that the far ends of the the canvas have a place to rest upon using the back bars of the stretched canvas, hope that helps and thank for watching
