Oh wow that’s a great setup! That’s a very interesting & unusual painting palette 🎨. I really love 💕 your assistant too! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video & yes I just subscribed to the channel!
Thankyou, the land where you live is beautiful. I don't think I will ever visit England, but I can through your video. I will buy that Manfrotto and when I retire soon , I hope to be painting. Thanks again.
Another top notch presentation Andy. Superb views too. The pochade box you made looks incredible. A real professional job you made with its construction. Brilliant.
Thanks Chris. Yes, I had been looking at boxes for some time and couldn't see one that suited me,most were really expensive as well. This one is made to measure :)
Very good video which shows you don’t have to be overloaded with equipment to create a good outdoor painting! You live in a spectacular area with great atmospheric views. Nice to see your dog also enjoying his/her day out with you.👍
I found your video the other week. I just made mine to fit a 7x10 block of paper. I used 3/4" square dowel, this works so great and so easy! Thank you for this tutorial and design, very generous!
Just love your set up! I'm trying to decide on having a lower shelf like this, or to have a hinged -type easel. Do you find that if you need to get closer to the painting for detailed work, that the lower shelf gets in the way? (With your body?)
Hi, apologies for the delay in replying. I can't say that the lower shelf does get in the way. However, I do try to keep my distance from the sketch so that the work remains more loose than my studio work. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the excellent ideas! Love your design!!! I'm going to make something like this for my camera tripod. I'm also going to purchase a "rock shelf" that they make for camera tripods that will help stabilize the tripod outdoors and can also be used for extra supplies.This should not interfere with the shelf you made, since the rock shelf fits in the interior space between all three legs. Also, if a person doesn't have a jigsaw, perhaps they could use a large spade bit to drill the holes on both sides of the shelf and use a handsaw for the rest. Brilliant making it to fit a watercolor block. Minimalist and useful.
I'm glad you took the modest approach here, Andy! ... and just made a video about your Great Watercolour Setup. For a second there I thought this might be a video about a foot race between you and your dog... in order to see who can run up that hill the fastest. Based on what I watched just now, I don't think you could easily win-as your dog has an unbridled spirit about the outing. So, good on you, for having the foresight to truck up your painting kit so you can always reward yourself for coming in 2nd place.
Just discovered your walking / painting videos having watched all the van build series. Great stuff. I think your home made easel is inspired and suits both painting and photography. Think I might copy that’s I do both. Thanks for sharing. Jeff
Andy, I think this has to be one of the best DIY pochade boxes I’ve seen on TH-cam! Do you have further details on the dimensions and construction of it?? This is just what I need. Keep up the amazing content.
Thank you for your kind comment. I am just editing a film which I will post up shortly about the construction of this box. It should be online on my channel in the next day or two.
Nice and simple. I am working on something very similar, the nice weather is just starting here. On an unrelated note, that dog just wanted to run, which is likely why you had him fastened to you. What breed is he?
Thanks, yes, spring is on its way here too. The dog is a setter/visla cross which we took in from the Dogs Trust some years ago. Yes he loves to run but he is also happy to sit in the sun and watch the world go by as I paint :)
Hi. I am interested in your rucksack. Which model do you use that is sized to hold the gear? The website has so many options. It is difficult to tell what is wide enough. Thank you.
Hi Deb, in the film I am using the Wainwright daysack. Sadly I have just rung the makers and that model which was limited edition has now sold out. I will look for an alternative model and update the description.
I just found your channel. Great video Andy. I love your setup. I need to make my easel soon. I'll be incorporating some of your great ideas into mine. My current setup is me sitting with everything on my lap on a large clipboard while I sit, sometimes on the ground. Incredibly aggravating. Thanks for the tips! What's your dog's name?
Really loved your box! I feel like I owe you some kind of royalty payment for using your design as a basis for an invention of my own. Thanks so much for doing the work of figuring out what matters and how to simplify the construction. I did try your PayPal link above, to make a donation, but it gives me an error. Perhaps I have to be in Great Britain for it to work?
@@AndyBeckTeesdale Nice to hear from you. I've tried several times to do the PayPal donation since your reply, cleared my cache, restarted my system, but I still get the error "Your session is invalid or has expired." I've even tried pretending I'm in the UK with a VPN connection to a server in England, but same result. Not that big a deal, but mostly wanted to express my gratitude in a concrete way. I also don't want to take time from your painting asking you to troubleshoot PayPal issues... :-)
@@AndyBeckTeesdale Looks like the new PayPal link worked! Thanks! Hopefully you've received my modest but sincere gesture of gratitude for your guidance.

I had a lot of fun building my little box. Now if Southern California would cool down just a bit, I could go outside and use it.
Thank you for all the likes and comments on this video about my Plein air box. I respose to questions regarding its construction I have just uploaded a film of how I made it.

@Vihaan Jaxxon i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I'm also painting plein air sometimes, and, you know, I think would you like to take some whisky and cigar when you painting?.. Art process may get intersting...
Why is your dog wearing a muzzle? You seem to be nowhere near other people so even if he has a tendency to bite I don't understand why he's wearing one while you're alone in the hills? That doesn't seem very fair to him.
Great idea,astonishing picture!🤗🥰🤩
Why is it so that all the beautiful things definitely have a dog in them ?? 😍😍
Very true :)
And one that stays put!
Wonderful video and demo of your kit. Thanks for sharing how to make it as well. Beautiful painting! ☺🎨
Thank you Laura
Very clear and concise. Thank you.

It's a beautiful journey.
Looks nice there! Certainly plenty of chance to practice painting rain clouds :-))
Thanks, yes, we get our fair share of weather here :)
Gracias por compartir
What a great setup! Love it.
Thank you Tanya
Thank you I enjoyed your video.
Thanks for watching
I like ur painting and more over your setup 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌
Thank you.
Thanks for showing us that. I've got a tripod for my camera, so easy to copy your great idea.

Peaceful environment 😍😍😍😍😍
Brilliant shelf design! Don't mind if ì use the idea for myself 😎 - except I'm going to have three shelves!
great stuff, good luck with the build.
Super!!!!!🙋♀️👏👍🌺😘🤗🍒💚🌻🌷💋☘
Thank you Olga
The dog has a very long patience❤️
yes, he just loves being out with me and sitting in the sun :)
Brilliant , very creative
Thank you
Hi Andy,
Did you make yourself the easel and the palette trays?
@@ZOONG12345 yes I did. I have a film of the construction which i will post for you.

You're set up is perfect! I'm grateful that you posted this. I was debating buying a Julian Box but I felt the design didn't fit my needs. Take care.
Hi Dana, thanks for the comment, glad that you found it useful.
Love your box you made for an easel. If you made these for sale, I would buy one from you. I live in the U.k too. Thank you for sharing 😌
Thank you Gillina. Sadly I dont have the time to make these boxes for people. Thanks for watching
You start manufacturing and selling these. I'd buy one today!
Thanks for sharing. I was so confused about - how could I use my tripod as an easel.
No problem Udayraj, thanks for watching
simply and minimalistic..(!). Nice inspiration... No big boxes, 6 kg weight, etc...
Thank you

HI Andy, Thank you for all your great content. It is a pleasure to watch, and so informative. May I ask what you keep in your belt packs?
Thank you Sam, glad that you enjoy my films. The belt pack holds all my camera kit. It makes ot easy to get to. I may make a video on that soon.

Which place is this?
I didn’t know captain Picard took up painting.
we all have to have a hobby :)
Hello, fellow leftie! 💜
Hi, it seems that many artists are left handed :)
Thumbs up just for being a lefty.
haha, thank you
I would like a box!! Can you do it for sale?
Hi Dagugli, sorry for the late reply. Sadly I don't make them for sale, I am too busy painting :)
Very innovative use of tripod...
Thank you
I'm also painting plein air sometimes, and, you know, I think would you like to take some whisky and cigar when you painting?.. Art process may get intersting...
You brought everything....didn’t even make the dog carry its own water.
Nice demo but-the inappropriate mind numbing music is driving me nuts.
Thanks for the comment, I will take it on board :)
Have you ever had your dog overturning your equipment? 😈
haha, no, not yet :)
@@AndyBeckTeesdale Lucky man. 😎
Why is your dog wearing a muzzle? You seem to be nowhere near other people so even if he has a tendency to bite I don't understand why he's wearing one while you're alone in the hills? That doesn't seem very fair to him.
It's not a muzzle, its a head collar. It helps to prevent him pulling. th-cam.com/video/uQul_CrSqeU/w-d-xo.html
@@AndyBeckTeesdale I was curious why you didn't let him run while you painted?
@@TheArtisticBiker because this way I know where he is and what he is up too.
The dog was very poor ,you tied its mouth for a long time.
Just to clarify.....it's actually a head collar I didnt "tie his mouth" : companyofanimals.co.uk/brand-product/halti-headcollar/
I got it
