  • My unbiased review on the U-Go Plein air easel by New Wave Art will show you the good and bad aspects from my experience painting for one full month with the compact pochade box. As well as work around ideas.

    I tried to buy from New Wave but it got lost in shipping from the US, so I found that Jackson Art Supplies, where I also bought the Sienna Plein air wet panel carrier. This carrier accommodates up to 4 23x30cm ( 12x9in ) panels.

    The New Wave website where you can buy the pochade box direct from the manufacturer if you live in the USA: newwaveart.com/collections/u-...
    To buy U.Go in Europe I recommend buying from Jackson's here: www.jacksonsart.com/fr-fr/new...
    Where you can also buy the panel carrier here: www.jacksonsart.com/fr-fr/ric...
    Also I highly recommend you source an affordable tripod that is compatible with the U.Go. I bought mine here: www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BBQ5F2L8?p...
    But if you're located outside of France, be sure to search for a tripod with a 1/4in screw.
    My name is Chisha and I'm a travelling painter. Usually I stay in studio but with my recent artistic residency in the south of France I've really wanted to get out and paint some of those gorgeous sloping hills! I've seen many homemade varieties of pleinair boxes but I've never been too good with wood working so I invested in this little treasure. All together with all add ons I paid €330.

    Thanks for your video. I got this to paint with watercolor on the go. With watercolor I don't use a palette knife, so that isn't an issue. And for the cups, I use a faber-castell collapsible water cup and it works perfectly. 2 actually fit in 1 side tray. I got 2 of the side trays, which help will the extra space for the cups and other materials. Hope this helps watercolorists.

      @@jjsartjourney absolutely! The different mediums have different requirements. U.go I think is made for oil medium but could easily be adapted to gouache and others. Thanks for sharing!
