Recommended Table easel
Falling in Art, Extra Large, 5-Position Wood Drafting Table Easel Drawing and Sketching Board, 29 1/2 Inches by 19 2/3 Inches. This table easel is available in 3 sizes. I recommend the largest size as it can easily support a 14" x 14" canvas (or smaller) and a reference photo taped next to it. Very convenient. I use it almost all the time.
