Very good tips, thanks Roberto!

It looks well built which to me is important, and I agree it's a good size for painting on the move. I think everyone has their own needs and desires when it comes to art equipment. For me, I want a pochade box that will also carry all my materials so that's what I shopped for. Others like these boxes which keep the palette and the other equipment separate. To each their own!

Did you see the car silhouette? 😁

Roberto, thank you for this review and especially for mentioning using it with sketchbooks. I only work in sketchbooks with watercolor and was wondering whether it could hold one. You're the only person I've found who addressed this! Glad to know I can make it work or buy the separate holder!

There is significant production quality and value in this video. I cannot believe I stumbled into this channel before its inevitable rise

Excellent video and reflections.

I noticed that with the main body (medium size) and the two flaps for brushes, it’s about the same weight as the Sienna plein air medium pochade which is cheaper but bulkier. I feel like there’s a market for a super lightweight minimal pochade box that’s around $100-$150. That will be the sweet spot for a lot of artists including myself.

Good video, but terrible music

wow... i really loved the end

the ending was perfect🤍

Really enjoyed this video Roberto! Your editing was playful and the video is full of character. Keep going as there are a lot of us out here really getting a lot out of your content.

So, it's been a year. Are you still living this pochade box

You are a great youtuber!

Hey Roberto, I like this approach to the video. Storytelling is important in life, and even more so on TH-cam. I can recommend Alpay Efe to you - he does it at a high level and you can learn a lot from him (no advertising, but he is simply good at it and a good role model). Keep up the good work! As an artist, I'm also thinking about streaming via twitch soon, I've finally saved up the equipment.

well your videos motivate me to paint/draw more ! and I agree being patient helps a lot with art, I envy patient people

i dont know if you are an artist or not.. but i DO know that you have absolutely no clue how to edit a video or even how to setup a mic so your voice DOESN't come out muffled and make it hard to understand a single word. while speaking english with an hardcore accent that is hardly to understand. the parts where music is running in the background are just not possible to understand. brooo.. plssss.. just stop. or at least buy a good mic. maybe visit an editing course. or maybe, hey, do your thing.. and.. "trust the process". MAYBE, next time: do it in your native language for people who actually understand you without problems. if you get a mic. and some skills. in something. i GET it. you want to be famous on youtube SO FCKN MUCH! because you want money and fame and all the things a real artist is sh*tting on because, you know.. he is a real artist. but, broooo, dont make yourself a fool infront of the WHOLE WORLD! greetings from germany.

Complimenti Roberto, si vede che c'è tanto lavoro dietro i tuoi video. Sono sicuro che presto ne avrai tantissimi followers. Avanti tutta!!!

Every achievement in life (but finding love, I guess) is a matter of consistency and dedication. Talent is extremely overrated and used as an excuse by whom fear to go in the arena. Kudos man

Thank you so much for this video. I do get very frustrated with my painting and just want to throw it in the trash. That makes me procrastinate for fear of failure.

Super! Bien dit!

Nice format! The introspective commentary along with the video of you painting is really entertaining

What a great video!

My screen has never been happier.🍅

Велике задоволення спостерігати за Вашою роботою! Дякую! ❤❤❤

Thank you.

You have precisely explained many Essential points on the creative block, reasons why or because of... Well done, molte grazie! "Forget about perfection you will never achieve it." Salvador Dali In other words, do the best you are capable of accomplishing in your painting endeavors.

The thing I do that makes me draw and paint everyday is an idea I have had a few months ago: "When we begin drawing and/or painting, you can expect to invest many hours working on this piece of art. So why not put these hours into good use. "How?" you will ask. well, look at you. you draw, and you paint. But chances are that these are not the only skills you want to develop. There are book, courses, and useful video notes about other skills that you want to install into your memory bank so that you advance your career, improve your relationship with your loved one, increase your happiness, etc.. so, if visual things stick in the mind better than words on paper, why not... why not draw and paint the notes of the skills you want to develop ? think about it. you are going to face a canvas/piece of paper for hours (or much less, if you want. Just draw with the duration you are comfortable with) so might as well draw something or paint something that summarizes your notes in a visual way.. or you can write the summarized notes in the piece of paper, and start drawing. the result will be that you will internalize these notes, and you will have practiced drawing/painting today, so you achieved multiple things at once. so draw the quotes you really love, draw the screenshots you take instead of just saving it in your phone, draw that scene from your fave movie, TV show, or Anime! say to yourself,: "I love experimentation. and a person like me always succeeds. even if I make a mistake, I see it as progress, and in reality, those who make an artistic mistake like drawing the proportions wrong or anything, are awesome because Since the majority of people don't want to fail, they won't practice, so this mistake here has made me 100% percent better than them, soooo, in actuality, every mistake I make artistically separate me from competition; I go forward, while they stay in the same place...

Fantastic video with so many gems + great camera work and editing as well. A lot of us can get stuck in the trap of thinking our problems are too complex, and that simple solutions like waking up early, achieving a small task or two before the start of the day, building self-confidence and discipline through exercise, simply won't work. Don't let your procrastination have its breakfast. Thanks for making this video, keep it up! 💙

I give you a hug. This video is a gift, a beautiful gift. I feel so alive. And not so ashamed for how often I reach for pencils and paintbrushes. So often, it’s the only way I can express a lot of things. I thank you.

Carissimo Roberto, sei bravissimo! Ad maiora! Ciao❤

You could put a bit of weather stripping on the clamp that's too tall

Amazing video 🤩

do you have problems with the water cup leaking when in the bag at all?

I was looking for some recommendations on pochade boxes and saw your video... well, some €400 for a pochade box with no storage is way overpriced in my opinion. I could ask someone to do it by hand and probably save money. Said that, I'm curious to see how it goes, specially watercolour (my preferred medium). Also, if you could use metric system, please? Or maybe both. I find it very hard to wrap my head around imperial measures. Anyways, thanks so much for the video! It was really interesting seeing you assemble and test it, and I appreciate a non-sponsored review 👌 And you're so enthusiastic, it's contagious!

I got the smaller version, they're very very good, but I do think they're overpriced. I wasn't able to get the add on accessories because of how expensive they are, but then I realized, I can literally stick anything metal on the magnets, so I just use a metal pencil tray that you get when you buy a pack of pencils. I sit my brushes those and it works fine. They also had a tripod I could buy with it, but once again it was really overpriced so I just bought another tripod from a different store that works perfectly fine as well. But other than that, its a great design, its so light and portable, especially the small one. I can carry the box, tripod, paints etc and even a small seat all in one bag.

I just received the same pochade box. The palette also doesn't quite fit snugly:(

Yes I remember the first I was a teenager. Already this feels like a different type of story lol. No but seriously your painting is far better than my first and it was a landscape. Understanding mediums in oil is something that takes time more even than cleaning up. I went from oil to watercolor. I think you will enjoy working on a gessoed surface much more its easier to move paint and make alterations. I would say just make sure to get a fairly good quality gesso or it will be a lot like latex. Good luck and your portrait looks great especially for first go in a new medium.

Incredible and How long does it take to paint the entire thing?

جميل❤

Can you do beginners tutorial please, make how to paint after pencil marking, how to use brushes and knifes . Material in general thank u

Have you tried oil painting yet? How was your first oil painting?

Can you share what type of magnets you use for your palette and water container? Thank you 🎉

I like the idea of being aware and noticing being as important as the actual creation of art. I’ve always said that the hardest part in painting is getting the color right (takes into account all the aspects of color, value etc… the stuff that bores people so I just say “color”), the rest is just technical execution, easy, for me anyway. Awareness does actually come first so good point. I take pics on my phone and have setup folders in the phone to categorize everything. I have sunset/rise, beach, trees, sky… there are many overlaps of course but I don’t worry too much. I’ve somewhere near 15,000 photos and the best ones get categorized. I’m just getting setup for a portable setup and it looks very similar so far. Watercolor and pencil.

Very creative video 🎉
