SoHo Plein Air Scout Wood Pochade Box with Tripod Easel

The perfect Plein Air painting solution!

When it comes to plein air painting, nothing matches the freedom, functionality, and elegance of the SoHo Scout Pochade Box. Expertly crafted from beautifully mahogany-stained and lacquered wood with brass-plated hardware, this lightweight and portable box is designed with the traveling artist in mind. Whether you're hiking to a remote vista or setting up in a city park, the Scout makes it effortless to bring your creativity outdoors. Its universal tripod mount pairs seamlessly with the included SoHo Deluxe Tripod, allowing you to paint comfortably while seated or standing. Protective rubber feet turn the box into a stable tabletop easel, and its compact size fits perfectly on your lap—ideal for spontaneous sessions wherever inspiration strikes. With versatility, style, and thoughtful design all in one, the SoHo Scout is truly the best companion for plein air artists seeking beauty and performance in the field.

The adjustable strap and leatherette handle makes it easy to carry the SoHo Scout with you wherever you want to go. The sure-lock angle hinge ensures a comfortable working angle that won't change or move while painting. The patented brass substrate holding sliders are integrated into the top of the box, making it easily adjustable and extremely stable. Each slider is slotted to accommodate two 1/8" - 1/4" (3mm to 6mm) panels without them touching. Additionally, the sliders will friction-hold stretched canvas up to 7/8" deep. The box will accommodate paintings up to 9x12" horizontally and 12" wide and 18" tall painting substrates. The integrated lid sliders hold substrate below your sightline, which allows an unobstructed view of your subject. Unlike a cumbersome French Easel, the SoHo Scout Pochade Box allows your panel to fit seamlessly within any environment.

The easel comes with two palettes - a varnished sliding wood palette that has a dual purpose of separating materials from the bottom storage compartment and a clear acrylic palette that allows you to put a grey sheet underneath for greater hue definition while outdoors. The fold-out wood tray creates additional working space to keep paints or solvents and 5 brush holes, provide a safe place for your brushes. It also features a small bottom impact plastic foot that keeps palettes in place while traveling. Finally, the bottom storage compartment accommodates paint tubes up to 75ml and is divided into two sections so you can store your brushes, palette knives, pencils, or other gear separately. The SoHo Scout Pochade Box is expertly crafted and offers the perfect Plein Air painting solution with elegance and style.
