The En Plein Air Pro Advanced Series Oil & Acrylic Package, with our new Pro Series Panel Holder, handles canvas panels or stretched canvas up to 22” tall or down to 6” x 8” (the most popular range for outdoor painting). The panel holder is a structural aluminum channel with ABS brackets. Max height to center of panel or canvas is 58″. Our vertical mounting design eliminates the “top heavy rocking” that can occur in other tripod/pochade box set-ups. The Advanced Series Oil and Acrylic Palette is lightweight, functional, and truly unique. Our Palette Frame features a 6-hole brush holder. At 15.25” x 9.5”, this palette offers over 144 sq. in. of mixing area. The working surface is a clear 1/8″ abrasion resistant layer which resists scratching and cleans up with a supplied squeegee and paper towel moistened with turps. Underneath is a neutral gray background with value scale. The thoughtful design incorporates a grey PVC slide on cover that allows transport of wet paint to and from the field. On location, flip the cover over and slide underneath, and you have an extra shelf with a 3″ hole for the PETG plastic lock-tight turps jar. The maximum height from the ground to top of palette is 35″. The Slide-out Side Shelf is our newest innovation. Made of 6mm grey PVC, this shelf is the perfect place to lay your palette knife or your ‘thumbnail sketch’, or cups for painting mediums, oil, etc. The Shelf will fit on either side of palette and has extra holes for brushes. Included is a “clothespin” clamp to be placed on the tripod leg-opposite of the sliding shelf.
This plein air setup it really cool. It's light-weight and sturdy. The palette and easel are easy to attach to the tripod.A couple of things I'm not so fond of, mostly to do with the bag.The carry bag is barely large enough to contain the tripod. It's a hassle getting it in and out. Everything else fits fine. I'd also prefer a backpack to the bag. There are two end pockets (one either end). The one has a deep pocket, but it extends into the main body of the bag and so if your bag is full, that pocket is more or less useless. Except for the side pocket (which I guess is for brushes as it's quite skinny), there is only one zipper on the pockets and the main opening, This means you can only open it one way instead of (as with most suitcases) being able to open and close them from either direction. Granted, not a huge issue, but hey it's convenience in the field we need. And it's ironic that the smallest pocket is the one that has that convenience.The palette is plastic. Yuck. Give me glass. I know it's probably something to do with shipping, but hey, who goes to the trouble of cleaning off the palette when in the field and a twister, or rain, or snow, or a bull is headed your way. Or even if you just want to get home because 'Castle' is on the telly, or nature is calling.Seriously, glass is so much easier to take care of. I taped glass over the plastic. I do like the value chart that is under the plastic.So, nothing really serious. The bag is the real let down. I'm going to have to buy a backpack - one with wheels, too.
