A painting station you can carry
This Meeden pochade box combines a wooden painting case, an adjustable painting support and an aluminium tripod. The beechwood box has a walnut-coloured finish. Choose it for small observational studies outdoors, or use the box on a studio table. It keeps your work area, materials and painting support together.
What is in the set?
The set contains the pochade box, aluminium tripod and a nylon carry bag with a handle. Inside the box are three large compartments with two removable dividers. Arrange them for your own paint tubes, brushes and other supplies. Slide-out side trays provide extra working space while you paint.
Sizes and panel selection
The closed box measures approximately 38.1 × 30.5 × 15.2 cm. The painting support is designed for work up to about 41.9 cm high (16½ inches). The tripod extends to 152 cm. Adjustable storage beneath the box accommodates three to four painting panels approximately 20 × 25 to 23 × 30.5 cm. This is a separate transport range: a panel that fits the support will not necessarily fit the storage. Check panel thickness before packing several paintings.
Setting up your box
Place the tripod on level ground, spread its legs and secure the adjustments before loading the box. Set the working height and lid angle for your posture, then secure your panel. Start with a limited selection of colours and leave a clean part of a side tray for mixing. Rubber feet support the underside when you work at a table.
Use the separate slots beneath the box to keep wet panels apart. Before transport, check that painted surfaces do not touch anything; do not force extra-thick panels into the storage. Close the box and carry liquids separately in securely closed containers. The tripod connection is ¼ inch: if you use another tripod, its attachment, load capacity and balance must suit the loaded box.
