Description

PLEASE NOTE: We have changed the glass palette previously included with the Oil / Acrylic version (and shown in the photographs) to a more durable white Corian version.

The Scout Plein Air Box was inspired by our endeavor to make art every day.

This pochade box compactly secures all of your essential art supplies for painting outdoors. Fill your box with your favorite colors, paintbrushes, and sketchbook. Find your spot and quickly transform the box into a mini studio. Set it on a flat surface or mount it on a tripod, snap the liquid jars, brush holder, and easel in place, clip on your canvas and you are ready to paint!

When stepping outside, perspective changes and we discover unknown parts of ourselves. By making plein air painting a ritual, we are able to better consider our world and our relationship with it. We begin to observe more closely, to better see color, and to hone memory whilst striving to capture fleeting moments.

Sling your Scout Plein Air Box over your shoulder and set out on a painting adventure—you might just find something!

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something… You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”

–from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

    Beautiful painting box!

    This little, but mighty, painting box met all my expectations. I got it a few weeks ago, and it’s already gotten a lot of use. The craftmanship is impressive! The Scout will be a staple in my indoor and outdoor studio, and I’m so happy I went with it!

    FUN & Make it all YOU!

    I Love love this plein air box! I got the dark walnut, watercolor version... and I use it all the time. It's fun & it keeps you down to just necessities. But you can always bring an extra backpack that has your tripod and extra stuff in it. What artist doesn't love extra stuff! and I love their pouches , got plenty of them, see the picks.This box is crafted so beautifully.I'm so impressed and i'm so inspired every time I use it ! Thank you for your beauty and craftsmanship and your staffs perfect service!

    A work of art

    I purchased the Scout in walnut for oil painting. It shipped and arrived very quickly and was packaged beautifully. It’s a work of art in itself. It’s beautifully crafted and there is much attention to detail. I’ve taken it out painting and it carries everything I need. I expect it will last for years and years, and I will take it on every trip!
