          A Pochade or Plien-aire box is for the artist that prefers smaller canvases and wants everything in one easy to carry case.

These boxes are made of nice  dry solid pine material and the top and bottom is made of Baltic Birch plywood. They have a Colonial (mid- brown) or maple (orange) stain or natural wood  with two coats of wipe-on poly finish. When the box is opened the lid can be set at the angle you prefer and can go back horizontal for the artist that prefers to paint flat (watercolor). One stretched canvas can be stored in the underside of the lid and locked in place and a second canvas can be placed on top of the sliding palette and locked there , so the two canvases will be held apart when the lid is closed. The sliding palette is made of almost indestructible, easy to clean,  white Lexan. The pochade can be made with the palette sliding open to the left or to the right. Please state your preference when ordering.

         Pochades up to the 12"x16" size have a hidden nut which enables them to be fastened to a standard camera tripod by replacing the bolt the tripod comes with, with a slightly longer bolt. The space under the sliding palette is for your brushes and paints and is 2" deep. The supplied divider is loose and you may tack it in the position you prefer
