Plein Air Painting Equipment
Review of EASyL Plein Air Easel
Plein Air Painting Equipment that is Light Weight - that you can just Grab and GoThe key to traveling with your art and plein air painting along the way, is to have a light weight painting kit that you can just grab and go.Everything in a backpack and a few other pieces so that it is easy. No need to take the proverbial kitchen sink. Overloading yourself with too much stuff is a sure way to kill the joy of the experience and make it less likely that you will do it again and again. So here are the essentials: The GearPochade Box - plein air lingo for a specially made box containing your Palette, Brushes, Paint tubes, Painting panels - this includes a removable rack in the box lid for safe storage of your wet paintings.This photo shows a fully loaded Pochade Box ready to go out painting.
Taken apart, here is what the components of the Pochade Box look like
The adjustable painting panel clasps can securely hold many different sizes of painting panels - from 5" x 7" all the way up to 12" x 16" pieces. Tripod that attaches to The Palette is stored and carried in a carrying bag that slings over the shoulder. Use an Ordinary Day Back Pack for the rest of your Gear. Total weight of all you need should be no more than 15 lbs. if you plan well and keep it simple. We recommend you do a dry run of your equipment before going outdoors to paint. It's one less thing to throw you off track on your plein air painting outing.
