One of the artist's most used "tools" is the art stool. While many pieces are created in a seated position, when the artist is standing for long periods of time drawing or painting, an art stool is provided to give the artist time to rest his or her legs while still able to work. Unlike a chair, the art stool is high enough so when the artist sits down, he or she will not have to readjust if they were working at the top portion of the canvas. Usually the actual seat of the art stool sits at about waist height, and no arm supports are included because it gives the artist the freedom to continue to work if he or she desires.
Art stools are also ideal for the artist who has a foot or leg injury. Allowing them to sit high, the art stool takes the pressure off of the leg and allows the artist to continue painting or drawing. Some stools even come with a back support for those artists who suffer from lower back pain. Also, these art stools can also be used in conjunction with artist work benches as they typically sit higher up than standard tables.
