Ultralight Super Portable Oil Painting Kit

I’ve got just the thing for fellow hiker artists who like to wander with very little weight and then pull out their oils and make a quick little haiku oil sketch.  At under five pounds for the whole set-up, it even offers protection for the wet painting on the hike down.  I’m really happy with this portable thumb box I built out of an old wooden palette.  It eliminates the need for an easel and can hold two wet paintings for a full day of exploring and artmaking.  I haven’t ventured too far with it… yet…  but here you can see some of the small 6×6″ paintings that I’ve made so far with it.
