Nice set up! I built a similar slim line pocade box. For those looking to stabilise the tripod due to wind, look at a 'stone bag'. It velcro's around the tripod legs and you fill it with rocks to help stabilise your set up and it wraps up nice and light. When you're done, dump the rocks!

Thanks much for posting this, Patrick! So many good tips! 😁😁😁

Also nice to see how down to earth you are fella. Great video, cheers!

Try using a bungee chord and aluminum tent stake to stabilize your tripod. This will free up access to your pack and will add little weight.

Nice setup. My concern is wind. I had my tripod topple over with painting attached— fortunately paint side up. And I had issues with squeezing out paint, reaching for brushes, etc., and stability. I need a better wet painting panel carrier; something portable. Thanks for the link in the description. Looking forward to seeing your (great) painting!

Thanks for posting this! I don't see a brush washer / paper towels anywhere! Do you clean your brushes when you change colors? Or do you maybe have enough brushes that this isn't necessary?

I have an openM, had no idea they closed up shop.

I love this slim line box. Genius for travelling about. I attempted a copy but bought cheap hinges and the lid flaps about. Now I have to engineer some sort of stopper to keep it up 😝

Interesting that you don't have any kind of rag to wipe down the brushes. Do you go through a lot of brushes in a painting, or just make do with one or two and clean them on the palette?

Great video! I noticed you have a lot of different angles in your video, do you have multiple cameras/tripods set up when you record videos?

[myd]

I am perplexed at how you paint without rags/towels. Do you have several brushes in use for main colors? Could you clarify what your process is there?

I made the mistake of spending the exorbitant price for a Sienna pochade box. It’s so heavy and won’t stay put on any tripod. Wish I could have made my own lightweight one like so many artists do.

[ethanbyrne]

Your pochade is beautiful. I have a u.Go! It’s ok and the lightest I could get at the time (I got the 6x8”) but it’s not a patch on yours!

Great simple setup. Was wondering how many brushes you use for a painting and how would you clean them to change colours? I find carrying loads of brushes overwhelming.

Hi Patrick, The link for the tripod goes to your stool of choice. Could you share what tripod you are using? Thanks!

[yay-cat]

Thanks! How does the box lid stay open/ vertical?

[jeroddunn]

How do you keep from having dirty paint if you don’t clean your brushes?

[danielsauerbrey]

What’s the name of the paint box ? I use Sienna but it’s heavier, need a smaller one like yours ?

[sujanithtottempudi]

What is opinion on schminke medium W gel which converts oil paint to water mixable oils?

[ghostvillage]

I have a question about the palette box. Why you placed the hinges so that it does not fully open 180 degrees?
