The easel includes a base, and a rotatably adjustable canvas frame attached to the base for engaging the canvas and holding the canvas in a stable condition for painting. A mounting pin interconnects the base and the canvas frame together, and defines an axis of rotation about which the canvas frame rotates relative to the base. A lock assembly cooperates with the mounting pin for releasibly locking the canvas frame in one of a plurality of predefined positions relative to the base.
