This is such a great setup for quick oil sketches just to capture the essence of a scene. That is something I finally come to realize is just do oil sketches and not complete paintings. I used the Guerilla 5 x 7 pochade box. It's basically a carryall. It can hold two 5 x 7 panels, 4 colors, small container of Gamsol and brushes fitted for that box. I'm planning to carry just the water mixable oils, so that I don't have to worry about Gamsol.

Oh nice! I’ve heard of the Guerilla one but haven’t tried it myself.

Inspiring - I’m going to try your limited palette - lightweight and color harmony all in one.

[@christinakentart]

Exactly! :) I hope you like it!

If you don't want the edges of your panels to get smudged, you could pound in a very thin nail into the ledge portion of the panel holder, so that the point just poked through the other side. one nail per corner would be enough. These 4 tiny points of contact for the panel to rest on would almost fully eliminate the smudging. 8 nails total, 4 on each side poking through to the opposite side and neither panel will come in contact with the wooden ledge. Would be a good idea to pre-drill holes to minimize risk of splitting the wood.

Oh, great idea!

[@caronclarke]

This is wonderful. I just wish I could only take a few things. Unfortunately, I take everything it the kitchen sink. Hoping that I will improve the more I do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@christinakentart]

Haha I understand! This is what I take when I'm traveling by plane, but if I'm going by car and have more space, I bring more stuff too.

Do you have the name of that wet canvas holder?
