Introducing the handcrafted Lammert Paint Box and Canvas Holder .
This is a nice alternative to the traditional French Easel for workshops, demonstrating, Plein Air painting or in the studio.
Inside box dimension is 12"x 16". Box weighs 6 lbs empty - 9 lbs filled with either oil paints or pastels.
The box is designed to store oil paints and brushes in the box while traveling.
(Scroll down to see photos of my oil and pastel set up)
The 11"x 11 3/4"glass palette is coated with gray paint and cardboard on the under side. It is attached to the box with velcro and will stay in place while the box is carried vertically. The palette and wood divider is designed to easily be removed.
There are D-ring fasteners attached on the outside of the box for a shoulder strap.
(shoulder strap not included)
The Canvas Holder will hold a canvas vertically up to 20" and horizontally 24" or more.
The design was created so the box and canvas holder can be used with any medium weight camera tripod. I recommend the SLIK U8000 because I like the stability of the tripod.
Wind Tested:.......when hanging or strapping a backpack or bag with extra supplies to the back leg, this set up has remained stable, (no movement) in 25 mph wind with gusts to 40 mph.
There are slots carved in the lid area that will keep a brush from rolling around when not in use. The elastic strapping will hold several brushes in place while in transit. On the left door is a small bungee chord that can be used to hold towels in place or other accessories.
(See my oil box set up below.)
When the tripod legs are fully open in place, the paint box slides down on the front 2 legs and will remain in place until lifted back off.
This photo shows the box without wood divider and glass palette.
My Oil Box set up....
I usually have 8 tubes of paint with me at all times and 3 to 5 brushes in the box. The bag on the left holds a viewfinder, color wheel and value finder. I sometimes tuck a towel under the bungee chord when painting.
These are my pastels. The main box is a Sennelier 120 half stick box. I've used the lids of other boxes to house the pastels that I have sitting in the lid areas. Some of those pastels are hand made and offered at Cindy's Art Beat in Fairfield, IA.
The above photo shows how I stack my pastels in the box. The smaller boxes fit inside the lid area when closed. Everything fills the space so there is no movement of pastels during transit.
