Created for artists who live to create in the moment, the Milan Explorer Pochade Box is the tool you need to take your painting passion on the road. Filled with travel-sized paints and brushes, you will be able to create stunning artwork when the inspiration flashes. Whether stepping into your backyard or alongside the roads you travel, you’ll have the tools you need to capture a moment on your journey’s path.
The Milan Explorer Pochade Box is lightweight and can be used like a French easel when set on a standard tripod (not included). Our box has a universal tripod mounting plate with a 1/4" socket, which is standard for camera tripods. With four rubber bumpers, it can also be used as a table-top easel. The adjustable hinge allows the lid to be set at multiple angles — even flat for watercolor paintings.
The box includes 3 large compartments with 2 removable dividers to store your paints and brushes. The compartment on the bottom allows for carrying 3-4 wet panels sizes 8"x10" to 9"x12" to protect your masterpieces.
This is a great addition to any artist’s collection and pairs well with our other Explorer line of products.
