'''Easels''' are objects in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. They build [[Fun]], and allow Sims to make money by selling their paintings. In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', painting at an easel builds the [[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] skill, and in ''The Sims 3'', it builds the [[painting]] skill.

== The Sims 3 ==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the easel is called the '''Artsy Easel'''. Only the Sim who started a painting can continue it, though any Sim can scrap a painting. (Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously.) Sims can't however use easels on any lot but their own. Sims can paint in three different sizes - small, medium and large. With higher skill levels, Sims can paint still life or portraits. They can even memorize a scene to paint it later, and do stylized still lifes.
 
With ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', Sims can make a painting from a [[photography|photograph]] if their skill level is high enough. Anyone from child to elder can paint, and improve their [[painting]] skill. There are also three [[toddler]] [[books]] that help give a head start to the [[painting]] skill when read.

|desc = This elegant easel is modeled after the one famously used by Ricardo Richards when he created his masterwork "Portrait of a Llama." Unlike Richards' original easel, this one lacks the layers of llama spit that accumulated after he spent hours making a llama pose for the portrait.

[[TheSims3.com|The Sims 3 Store]] offers one additional easel which is effectively just a reskinned Artsy Easel. It is more elegantly shaped than the blocky, school-roomesque Artsy Easel.
