Description of New Wave U.Go Plein Air Anywhere Pochade Box, 8.4x11.25x1.25 Inches - Painting Easel for Plein Air Art

Materials: The u.go Anywhere Pochade Box is made using Baltic Birch wood, while stainless steel and aluminum accents provide strength where needed most. All hardware is non-corrosive. The Baltic Birch is hand sanded and finished with New Wave proprietary wood finish for maximum durability. The finish on the pochade box easel is non-porous, dense, and resistant to water as well as standard artist solvents and mediums. In addition, the finish is crack resistant, chip resistant, and non-yellowing. Design: Rare earth magnets are used for closure, panel/canvas holder, removable side wall for palette cleaning/replacement, and accessory side tray attachment. Friction hinges with a sturdy 180° range of motion allow you to position the pochade box as vertical or horizontal. Compatible with universal 1/4" tripod mounts making it perfect for use as a tripod painting easel. The plein air easels have a smooth exterior free of protruding wood or metal components allowing for quick and easy storage. Palette: Each u.go Pochade Box comes with a high density plastic painting palette included. Oil paints can be removed with solvents, and dry acrylic paint peels off. Paint dabs can be stored on the palette when the lid is closed due to a recessed palette and recessed lid on the art easel box. Horizontal set up can be used as a watercolor easel tabletop. Surfaces: The Maximum Recommended Painting Surface is 9" Vertical. The teeth on the stainless-steel panel holders can hold panels as thin as 1/16" and stretched canvas up to 3/4" thick. The paint easel is ideal for 1/8" panels ensuring an ultralight setup. Side trays and glass palette accessories available for the painter’s easel. Dimensions: Measuring 8.4"x11.25"x1.25" the mid-size portable easel (Item #00702) is ultra-lightweight at 2.1 lbs, with palette included. While lightweight for use as a travel easel and plein air easel, the u.go Anywhere Pochade Boxes are sturdy easels for painting.

I love my new light and strong pochade!

It's so thin and light. Much better than my clunky French easel. Easy to use and quick setup. I bought a tripod recommended for use with u.go. Can be set up very quickly and is very durable. I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Cute and practical

This small clothes box is exactly what I wanted to do with small oil paintings in the city and in nature. I also use it at home to make small paintings. I used 6" x 8" panels and had no problems holding the panel, rocking etc. It's very light and fits perfectly in my bag. I think I'll have to buy a 6" x 8" wet plate holder now as it doesn't protect the finished painting. The box also includes 8" x 10" platters. Although it holds the canvas I think it holds the panels more securely.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few little things

Light, spacious for travel, side shelves are weak

Bought for outdoor oil painting. I have a lot of experience painting in nature, mainly in soft pastel colors. This was the first box I bought specifically for oils. A couple of points - at this size (8x11) it's compact, lightweight and easy to install - just pop the lid. The problem comes with those tiny side shelves. First they are attached to the pochade box with metal clips which then hold the pochade box and tray in place. That's what makes her so unstable. If metal braces were permanently…

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Will write later
