u.go Anywhere Pochade Box was designed for travel from sea to summit and anywhere in between. The plein air painting pochade box is designed and manufactured by New Wave in Pennsylvania, USA. Each tree's inherent beauty, shown in the grain lines, knots, and varying wood tones, combines with the work handcrafting each plein air pochade box to create an item that is uniquely yours. u.go Pochade Boxes are a modern take on the French Easel with a streamlined design that comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use. Made using Baltic Birch wood with stainless steel and aluminum accents providing strength where needed most. All hardware is non-corrosive. The Baltic Birch is hand sanded and finished with New Wave proprietary wood finish for maximum durability. The finish on the pochade box easel is non-porous, dense, and resistant to water as well as standard artist solvents and mediums. Strong rare earth magnets are used for the closure, panel/canvas holder, removable side wall for palette cleaning/replacement, and accessory side tray attachment. Friction hinges with a sturdy 180° range of motion allow you to position the pochade box as vertical or horizontal. Horizontal set up can be used as a watercolor easel tabletop. Anywhere Pochade Boxes are compatible with universal 1/4" tripod mounts, making it perfect for use as a tripod painting easel. The plein air easels have a smooth exterior free of protruding wood or metal components allowing for quick and easy storage in any pack. Each u.go Pochade Box comes with a high density plastic painting palette included. Oil paints can be removed with solvents, and dry acrylic paint peels off. While lightweight for use as a travel easel and plein air easel, the u.go Anywhere Pochade Boxes are sturdy easels for painting. Includes one u.go Cinch made from silicone for use with glass palette upgrade or hanging tools.
