The Easel is a Pre-Hard Mode crafting station sold by Painter NPC for 5 
but only during the day. It can be then placed and used to make paintings.
Paintings[]
The unique mechanism of the Easel is to paint images. In order to do so the player needs any kind of Paintbrush in their inventory. The Easel must also contain an Empty Picture Frame in order to work. Right clicking the station will open up the Painting Interface which allows the player to paint each pixel of the Picture Frame with Paint and a few other items.
Closing the interface or moving out of the Easel's range will quit painting and save the progress made. The player can then click it again to continue working on it. This can be executed infinite amount of times unless the painting is removed which is done by hitting it with any pickaxe.
All paintings crafted this way can be placed, removed, and operate in the same way as normal paintings.
