- Hello Art-family,
For this video I wanted to talk about home-made painting surface ideas. I get a lot of questions about this on instagram and other places so I wanted to show what I have done and would love to hear about your ideas and concepts that have worked for you.
Let me know if you have questions or if I can help you.
Happy sketching,
Jared

How interesting and silly. I didn't know what a pochade box was. Even though I made one and have bought and use them. Now the word is everywhere. How fun is that .
This is so impressive Jared!! Especially the complex box.
It’s so great to see all your boxes and pochades in-the-round and explained. I’ve seen your pics of most of them but they take on a whole new aspect like this. Great video and very helpful, too.
Brian Ashmore Studio thanks! I can’t wait to see what you do with the “Gurney” design when you get around to that.
These are all just so great! Most of them I'd never even considered before, but love the ideas of. Thanks for sharing these, Jared! Cheers! :)
M.D. Campbell thanks! It’s funny- the more simple they are, the more they get used haha
The last one is the best:)
A lot of good information. Thank you for sharing.
That reminds me, I have some cigar boxes laying around that I've been meaning to attach torque hinges to! Very insightful video! :)
The Sketch Adventure thank you! I’d love to see how yours turns out. Those cigar boxes are super handy.
These are wonderful!!!
Alex Bodnar thanks, Alex!
I love these! I bought a guerilla painter 5x7 pocket box for now until I can make my own design. I love the gurney easel but I need a few more additions because I'm very clumsy with my art supplies. Thank you for your video!
Enrique Guzman those are really nice! They seem really sturdy too.
Great ideas! You are very creative and talented young man..Inspiring, also because I now want to "try" make one..
Thank you for sharing all your cool things
Thanks for watching, :)
Very cool! Someday when I have tools I will try to make my own! It seems like the only way to get one that will fit all my needs
Sarah Burns Studio true- if you were over here I’d let you borrow my tools. :) if I can cut anything and help you in any way let me know!
Thanks Jared for showing your examples! Just purchased a Geurilla thumb pochade box and I love it! I’m looking at building a simple sketch easel for larger pieces. I purchased an extension for the pochade. We will see how I like it.
Barry Teghtmeyer that is a handy little box :) they seem very sturdy.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. This was most interesting, particularly your method to add a shelf.
Monika Behr thank you! I’m here if you had any questions about making one for yourself. :)
@@JaredCullum Thank you.
This video inspired me to make use of my old camera tripod and use it as an easel. I've bought some 1/8" board and some 1/4" 20 T-nuts. For anyone planning to make their own, I suggest bringing your tripod quick release plate to the store to make sure you get the right size T-nut, don't trust the store because that was my mistake, the first store I bought T-nuts from had put the wrong size in the bin.
GREAT video. Thanks
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
N Monteiro thank you for watching!
CLAMPS. I love clamps. I can't find those brackets to keep the lid open anywhere in Ireland yet. Lovely work!
James Hally I have tons! Clamps are the best :) I couldn’t get them locally and bought them online. The friction hinges? They were like $20 and I got them on eBay.
THIS IS THE BEST THANK YOU~~
Sharon Bear haha thank you :)
This is great, thanks!
cmcasadoiro thank you!
Very nice work you've done. Tfs.
stanky6261973 thank you for watching! :)
Thank you. Useful.
Appreciate you watching
Thank you for the video. What kind of glue you used?
I just stumbled on your channel, man, I'm gonna watch those videos. Great content! Just a question about the gurney one, is that really wood you used or some other material? That grey-green-colored one?
It is! It's 1/4in thick plywood. You can get it at home repair or craft stores. It's cut to the size of my sketchbook and hinged together. Afterward, I protect it, I sprayed it with gray paint and clear coat so it wouldn't warp.
Great vids Jared. I looked on James's gumroad but didn't see anything resembling how to make his pochade. Did you know the exact video where he explains his method?
Hey man! Thanks for watching. Here's a link to the youtube preview: th-cam.com/video/Pm1cS37f05k/w-d-xo.html there is a link in the description to the gumroad tutorial. :) Good luck!
you should hammer the t-nut from the backside or it will fall out with small forces
Good thinking :)
Hey jared! I was thinking in making a sort of gurney pouche and do you think those hinges are worth it? im new to building stuff hehe
I'm kurieX absolutely. They’re the crux of the whole design. Without it you have to make a system of hold it open- which is doable but requires some other thing attached like cork or dowel to sit on or some kind of chain or holding bar to keep it open. These hinges work super well. They open to a spot and hold and you can make them more tight or loose as needed. They’re expensive- the most expensive part of the thing but worth it.
@@JaredCullum Thanks for the quick response! Ill maybe update in how my journey to build this will come out !
Im still looking for what i want....to buy or even to build.... I like post card soze sketchbooks or blocks for like a "EDC" watercolor kit. Something what i can sketch and paint even if i only have 10min break. So i want a lap bos that wil hold a small pallet, a postcard size block, a couple paint brushes and a smakk place or container for water..... that i can open and set everything up on in case i need to move or have to stop till later.
I need pochade for pleinair oilpainting 😍🙏🤗🎨👍🏼
ANNANNA if you don’t want to make one there are lots of great ones from cheap to super expensive. Open box m was the golden standard but now strada and u.go from New wave have been getting more popular. The guerilla boxes are affordable and very sturdy. :)
@@JaredCullum Thank you Sir for the suggestions and reply 🎨👩🎨👍
That's cool
ChenBoluo thanks! :)
I really want to know how to do it
ChenBoluo let me know if you have a specific question about how to work with the materials. Im happy to help
Jared Loves to Draw I'm very glad to hear that.i like your paintings very much ,I want to learn to draw them ,but I don't know how to start.what kind of pen or paper should I use?than you reply.
ChenBoluo if you want to learn painting start with drawing. I recommend getting a nice secret sketchbook that you are not afraid to fail in. Get a fountain pen and draw everything you see constantly. It trains you to see contour lines and to not be attached to individual drawings. Good luck!
How do you get rid of the smell of the cigar box?
I don’t have a great answer for that… if you leave it out it will fade a bit but I don’t have a great way to remove the smell completely. I’ve just kind of ignored it.
Hey i'm french and i just wanted to tell you that "pochade" does not mean pocket is the word for "painted quick sketches" that painter use to make on the place where the scene they were painting was, they were doing some pochades to get color harmonies and to get a quick reference to maybe later make a big painting at home with this pochades for reference.
I don’t remember saying it meant pocket- if I did, I misspoke. Thanks for watching.
Being a French word, I thought it was pronounced 'Po-Shod'? Or is it 'Po-Shād'(the ā as in day)?
@@u.sonomabeach6528 probably haha I don’t speak the language and it’s all I can do to contain my thick southern accent when I speak. I’m doing my best. Haha thanks for the heads up about it.
@@JaredCullum no worries. You are obviously doing things right because many people, including myself, utilize your channel for to learn/info etc. I definitely have respect for people that have a passion and make it a big part of their life. I think we can let that one slip lol. I honestly wasn't 100% sure of the correct pronunciation. I too am from the land of Dixie and the French language wasn't exactly rolling off people's tongues in my town. I started listening to French music from the 1920s/30s a couple years back and in my spare time I sometimes try to learn a little of the language so that the songs make more since lol. I wasn't trying to be 'that guy' because it's one thing to be a Grammer nazi on the internet, but to take it further and call out someone's pronunciation of a foreign language is a getting close to pretention so thanks for understanding 👍. Your channel is great by the way. Im on my way to find the subscription button actually
@@u.sonomabeach6528 Thank you! :) I never mind a grammar or pronunciation fix. Glad that you took the time to watch and comment :)
Lovely work, perhaps a more accurate pronunciation, as it is a French word, would be ‘po-schaahd’ , like ‘ahh’, not as in shade.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the correction- I’m aware. I get this comment from time to time. I don’t know if it’s trying to suppress my southern accent or what but I always feel like I sound silly if I try to pronounce words “correctly” in native pronunciation. So I always just wing it phonetically haha I do appreciate your comment though. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this - but it is pronounced 'po-SHOD' not 'shade'. Like a horse gets shod.
I know- I get this comment about once a week. Maybe I should delete this video. I can’t go back and change an old video. I just don’t say the word anymore. I feel foolish trying to pronounce things correctly and it always comes out even more garbled if I do. It’s hard enough suppressing my heavy southern accent and ‘uh’s. I appreciate the help, though and your time watching the video.
