The Scout Plein Air Box was inspired by our endeavor to make art every day. This pochade box compactly secures all of your essential art supplies for painting outdoors. Fill your box with your favorite colors, paintbrushes, and sketchbook. Find your spot and quickly transform the box into a mini studio. Set it on a flat surface or mount it on a tripod, snap the liquid jars, brush holder, and easel in place, clip on your canvas and you are ready to paint! When stepping outside, perspective changes and we discover unknown parts of ourselves. By making plein air painting a ritual, we are able to better consider our world and our relationship with it. We begin to observe more closely, to better see color, and to hone memory whilst striving to capture fleeting moments. Sling your Scout Plein Air Box over your shoulder and set out on a painting adventure—you might just find something! “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something… You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.” –from The Hobbit by J.R.R.
