When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!




Last year I made a pochade box, a self contained DIY plein air painting box. It's brilliant for painting outside all I need to carry is that box, and a lightweight tripod.

I found watching how others had done this on YouTube useful for both inspiration and motivation, and so I've put together this video to pass on that favour.

In this video I'll explain what a pochade box is, why I made one and what features I think are important for a good pochade box.

My pochade box fits 8 inch and 10 inch canvas panels, which are 34mm thick. But I can also paint on other size panels if I have another way of transporting them.

See below for links to the various bits and bobs required for my build very approximate plans are in my video, and if you watch you'll be able to screenshot them or ask me for more details.

Don't hesitate to ask me questions about the build if you're interested!
