our pochade boxes
We built Pochade boxes- (french poche= pocket)....
A pochade box is a small portable box built for making quick and small paintings or drawings, and holding some supplies like paints and brushes, a small pallette, watercolors or drawing implements.
We built our set ups out of cigar boxes, and modified the boxes with a friction lid hinge so that the lid would stay open when working. We also installed hardware to hold the drawing/painting surface inside and put small shelves into the deeper boxes. Above and below are examples of Bea Carey's field box made from a cigar box I gave him last year for just this purpose.
