About Easel & Ink Studios

Easel & Ink Studios is a creative community and marketplace built by artists, for artists.

Founded by Christy, Renee, and Tegan, Easel & Ink grew from years spent participating in watercolor and art communities, discovering new materials, supporting fellow creatives, and watching artists find increasingly inventive ways to make their creativity sustainable.

We wanted to create a space where artists could do more than simply share finished work.

Here, artists can connect, learn, recommend supplies, promote their creative businesses, share affiliate links, sell original artwork, offer handmade and hand-poured paints, curate palettes, destash useful studio supplies, and introduce fellow artists to the tools and materials they genuinely love.

More Than a Marketplace

Easel & Ink Studios is built around the idea that creativity grows through community.

We welcome artists at every stage of their journey, from beginners opening their first paint set to experienced makers, painters, teachers, and independent art businesses.

Our community is a place to:

• Share artwork, experiments, and creative progress
• Discover handmade paints and independent art supplies
• Learn from fellow artists and exchange techniques
• Explore reviews, recommendations, and affiliate resources
• Support artists, makers, and small creative businesses
• Buy and sell artwork, supplies, tools, and creative goods

Artists Supporting Artists

We believe there should be more than one way for an artist to support their creative life.

For one person, that may mean selling paintings. For another, it may mean carefully mulling handmade watercolor paints, curating palettes, creating prints, reviewing supplies, sharing affiliate recommendations, or passing unused materials along to another artist.

We make room for those different paths.

Our goal is not to place every artist into the same category. It is to help creative people find one another, discover something beautiful, learn something useful, and support the makers whose work inspires them.

Come Create With Us

Watercolor may be close to our hearts, but creativity at Easel & Ink is not limited to a single medium.

Watercolor, gouache, acrylic, ink, illustration, mixed media, sketching, handmade supplies, and whatever you decide to create next all have a place here.

Create. Connect. Celebrate.

Bring your art, your ideas, your favorite supplies, your handmade creations, and your curiosity.

There is room at the easel for you.
