Changing the way Artists Work and Play.

This is it!

This is the revolutionary professional studio easel that only we produce. The easle that the entire art world is talking about. The Hughes Easel permits the artist to work with larger pieces of art more comfortably than with any other easel available on the market today.

The Hughes Easels patented design allows the canvas to be repositioned with finger tip ease at any time, both horizontally and vertically, without putting down your tools and losing your concentration. Imagine working without restriction throughout the easel's full range of movement. No more getting off your chair to reposition your work in progresss. Even when working on a super large canvas!

A simple weight adjustment at the rear of the easel allows you to counter balence the weight of the canvas so that it can be moved easily up and down and from side to side. Imagine working on a 6 or 8 ft tall canvas and having the bottom edge at eye level.

With the Hughes system of canvas holding you can literally paint edge to edge on your canvas. Never again will you have to take a painting off the easel to finish up the edges of the painting for framing. The Hughes easels are designed to hold gallery mount canvas securely too.

If you like to paint on unmounted canvas consider this. The Hughes 5000 and 6000 models will easily hold a piece of 4x8 plywood and you can tack your canvas to the board to paint while still retaining all of the movement capabilities. Try this on any other easel!

Each easel is built by hand for you in our production facility located in Punta Gorda Florida. Our standard configurations include many useful features: Locking casters. 15 degree tilting movement top and bottom for perspective control while painting in a seated pposition. Positive locking mechanisms on mast, vertical and horizontal carriages. 24" range of vertical adjustment on mounting frame. Special clamping devices.

If you desire a truly custom easel we can provide you with the easel of your dreams. Different sizes, configurations and exotic woods. And we mean exotic. Have you ever see an easel built from Tiger wood? Stunning. If it's available on the planet earth and we can get it you can have it. Of course it adds a bit to the price but artists deserve to work in an environment that fuels creativity and if you are happy with your easle then your paintings reflect it. Don't worry if you don't paint extremely large scale paintings. We offer a full line of custom easels tailored to any studio environment.

Others have tried to copy us and failed.

Don't be fooled by imitations with a boat anchor crank or some other silly mechanism involved. Remember If it's not a Hughes it's a knockoff. The unique counter balance mechanism in the Hughes Easel has been granted a registration number by the United States Patent Office, Patent Number 4,726,555.
