Pochade Boxes
Developed with the serious artist in mind, these compact boxes offer artists the ideal solution when painting outdoors.
Pochade boxes offer everything you need for painting on location including: an easel, a palette, secure storage for materials and wet paintings plus a carry handle and detachable strap. These boxes are similar to those often used by Turner and Constable, but re-developed to be light, sturdy, practical and attractive.
Although designed for oils and acrylics, these boxes are perfect for use with other mediums such as watercolours and pastels.
The box has 3 main features:
1. A hinged lid that acts as an easel and holds two painting boards (two further paintings can be completed by attaching oil painting paper to the back of each board).
2. A palette attached to the lid. The large palette has a thumb hole, the small one does not.
3. A box to store all your materials. This can be easily removed from the lid and palette, reducing the weight of the box whilst you are painting.
Boxes are available in two sizes, both come with detachable carry strap:
Small: Takes 8" x 6" painting boards
Large: Takes 10" x 12" painting boards
Please note: The pochade boxes are sold empty, any paint shown in the picture is not included.

An art Pochade box for for all needs (Pochade Box Large)
by Andrew Randalls (Bournemouth, United Kingdom) on 29 Mar 2012"I have recently had a heart by-pass operation at Guys in London and was looking for an all in one box that would cover all media and not be too heavy as I am not allowed to lift above a half kettle of water. My wife helps me. This box satisfied all my art requirements in every way. I am thinking of attaching D/rings to the front so I can attach the the strap left/back and right/front and place it round my shoulder to sit on my lap later on. I will be using it on a table to begin with and Sennelier oil pastels on Loxley canvas boards, which you also supplied, as there is no preparation and cleaning up afterwards with them. later I will use my watercolour and WN Artisan colours. One comment to purchasers of the Pochade is rub candle wax on the edge of the palette lid to facilitate its easy removal or attachment. I will need the camera tripod attachment later for plein air etc. The world is my studio."
