Equipment for the artist (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Stand used by artists" , "A stand for blackboard or artist's canvas" , "Artist's canvas holder" , "Artist's tripod" , "Tripod supporting a canvas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
