"Whether you are exploring the back country of America or the back roads of Europe, this lightweight 'Oil and Acrylic Easel System' will meet the needs of the most adventurous painter." -

Eric Michaels, NWS, OPA & PSA

The En Plein Air Pro Advanced Series Oil & Acrylic Package, with our new Pro Series Panel Holder, handles canvas panels or stretched canvas up to 22 tall or down to 6 x 8 (the most popular range for outdoor painting). The panel holder is a structural aluminum channel with ABS brackets. Max height to center of panel or canvas is 58. Our vertical mounting design eliminates the top heavy rocking that can occur in other tripod/pochade box set-ups.

The Advanced Series Oil and Acrylic Palette is lightweight, functional, and truly unique. Our Palette Frame features a 6-hole brush holder. At 15.25 x 9.5, this palette offers over 144 sq. in. of mixing area. The working surface is a clear 1/8 abrasion resistant layer which resists scratching and cleans up with a supplied squeegee and paper towel moistened with turps. Underneath is a neutral gray background with value scale. The thoughtful design incorporates a grey PVC slide on cover that allows transport of wet paint to and from the field. On location, flip the cover over and slide underneath, and you have an extra shelf with a 3 hole for the PETG plastic lock-tight turps jar. The maximum height from the ground to top of palette is 35.

⚠️ Palette Care Note: The palette surface is not designed to be cleaned with metal blades or scrapers. We recommend using only the plastic squeegee included with the package, along with a paper towel, to clean the palette surface and avoid scratching.

The Slide-out Side Shelf is our newest innovation. Made of 6mm grey PVC, this shelf is the perfect place to lay your palette knife or your thumbnail sketch, or cups for painting mediums, oil, etc. The Shelf will fit on either side of palette and has extra holes for brushes. Included is a clothespin clamp to be placed on the tripod leg opposite of the sliding shelf.
