Review: Good value for plein air painting. - I use this primarily for oil painting. I had some trouble with stability and my pochade was spinning all around. Once I figured that out ( and used some glue to firmly affix the tripod mount after screwing it in) it holds great and is stable. I use the matching soho tripod. The interior holds brushes and W&N medium bottles and smaller tubes of oil paint. There is just one divider wish it had two. I can also carry palette knives and the medium cups without lids. I use gray palette paper. If you paint on the acrylic and your paint dries, you will probably dissolve the acrylic if you use thinner, so use a paper towel and baby wipes. You can mix directly on the wood too if you prefer. I’m pondering adding a glass palette. Not sure if it can support that weight. To keep it tightly closed I add a big rubber band like you would fit sketchbooks or your wet painting and contents will go everywhere. I’m considering buying a second one for gouache because I simply cannot afford expensive pochades. It ok for gouache but it’s not great for holding non spiral sketchbooks. You can paint on watercolor panels in gouache, I love that. I have trouble attaching my paper towel holder securely to this. The brush holes don’t always match what I have either. But you can add more accessories.
Review: Major flaw, but good features - I bought this box because of its design, specifically the panel securing hardware and the ability to carry wet panels inside while the box is closed. Also, I wanted to be able to use it on my lap, as I need to sit while painting plein air. There seemed to be nothing similar in my price range with these features. BUT there is a major flaw in the design. In the first one I bought, the thin, sliding wooden pallette was warped, preventing the box from closing. So I returned that one and re-bought it. The second one was somewhat warped but could be finessed into the slot for closing, so I kept it. We wanted a second one for my husband, so we ordered another one. It was warped and not closeable. Again, we returned that one and re-bought another one. Warped again! My husband ended up cutting off the end of the pallette so the box would close without the pallette having to slide into the slot. This is poor workmanship, but again, the features of this particular box was worth it to us. We'll see how it performs in the field. Good luck getting a good one that doesn't require modification.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the lid lay flat when painting with watercolors?**
A: No, the lid on this pochade box will not lay flat.

**Q: Do these pochade boxes contain magnets?**
A: Not the one I have-  the panel is held in place by moveable thumb screws.

**Q: Was anyone able to get an inexpensive tripod to use with this?  Since he holecn the bottom is not centered, it tips!**
A: I use a camera tripod that I bought years ago for my Olympus 35 mm camera and it works just fine. I see quite a few that are similar to mine for $15-$30. Good luck

**Q: Does anyone wish they would've purchased the bigger Pochade Box with storage at the bottom for dry/wet panels up to 9"x12"? I'm undecided**
A: I’m very pleased with the Scout and specifically chose it for its size. It’s not quite as bulky as the larger one, but will still hold up to a 9x12 size. It holds two panels of any size up to 9x12 in the easel/lid. A big selling point for me is that it can also carry a stretched canvas! None of my other numerous pochades will do that. Absolutely no regret in buying this

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by T***4 on April 22, 2025*

Very impressed with this box !!! It has perfect storage for paints, and I love the detachable plastic palette! The fact that I can use a regular camera tripod is so cool to me. I feel like the weight is good, not extremely lightweight, but it is lighter than you’d expect for a whole wooden box! I think it is beautiful and works wonderfully for a plein air class! Very happy with this purchase !
