TART pochade box easel

Take your painting space with you using a TART pochade box: a storage case that opens into an easel. The construction combines beechwood with birch components. Choose the tabletop model for an existing worktable or a version with legs for a freestanding setup.

Compare the five models

Each selected version comes with a palette and carrying strap. Compartments hold painting materials; paints, brushes and canvas are sold separately. Maximum canvas height refers to the artwork held in the easel, rather than the working height of the easel.

• TART 106: tabletop box with pull-out drawer, handle and rubber feet. This version has no standing easel legs.
• TART 105: drawer and removable aluminium telescopic legs. Maximum canvas height 610 mm.
• TART 101 natural: shallower box with removable aluminium telescopic legs and leg case. Maximum canvas height 680 mm.
• TART Paris 101: aluminium telescopic legs, leg case and extra shelf. Dark walnut describes the colour finish. Maximum canvas height 680 mm.
• TART 107: larger French-style model with drawer, extra brush shelf and folding beech legs. Maximum canvas height 860 mm.

Set up and paint

Place the box on level ground. With a legged model, set the spread and height and secure the connections first. Open the lid, choose the angle and place your canvas between the support and upper clamp. Check that it is secure before loading paint.

Try the setup with a blank canvas first. Check that you can reach the edges and centre without knocking the drawer or palette. Reposition the box or adjust the height before you begin. The internal and external fixings on 105 and 106 offer a choice of artwork position; check which arrangement suits your canvas.

Pack away and carry

Remove the canvas before folding the box. Pack loose materials so that the lid closes without pressure, fasten the catches and carry wet artwork separately with suitable protection. Explore our easels for tabletop and studio painting.
