- I saw this rustic, clever, unbelievable aesthetic yet functional paint box on Etsy many moons ago. When I went on sale last November I couldn't resist anymore. Join me while I give you a little tour of this pochade box and kit it out for both watercolour and oil painting!

Lovely box. Can’t tell you how much I have spent at Peg and Awl. Everything is high quality. Enjoy your new box. It will last a lifetime. Love from Arizona
I love everything they make too. The world needs more creators like them. I have a Sendak too that I am slowly kitting out. It’s one of those things that I’m sure improves with age and use. 😊
It does @@LeslieStroz !
The box is a once in a lifetime purchase... absolutely crafted with love and every detail taken into consideration. It's worth every single dollar imo. I'm not a Plein Air Artist, but I'd love to own this box just to have it in my small space to admire.
You could bring it to different rooms of your house. 😉
Absolutely magical. I'm not a painter so I'm not sure why youtube recommended me this video, but I watched every minute with complete fascination. Such a beautifully crafted tool for such a considerate craftsperson! I hope you share videos on how you use it in the future.
Ha! I love this. I am not on you tube often, but Leslie's videos are so calming, so perhaps that is why the recommendation:)
I probably will never paint or buy this box, but hearing you describe your process on packing the painter's box was so soothing. I found that I was open mouth zoning out. I could blame the open mouth on allergies, but I know it's the magic of the calm piano music mixed with tranquil talk. RUclips recommended your channel, and I can't fault it. 💌🎨
I absolutely adore the design of this box - it’s like they thought of everything with this from top to bottom. I especially love that you can use watercolors and oils with the box, and that you can have the jars off of the side, too. Great review as always, Leslie! 🎨♥️
YES!! I love all of those elements too! I feel like I’ve been transported back to the 1800s with this box. I am inspired to go on a painting adventure! ❤
This is a beautiful box, thank you for showing it in detail. Great video, very enjoyable.
Wow it's perfect I love so much leather.... This is a magnifique box🥰😉👍 The masking tape wrap tip is perfect 😉👍 and maybe if you don't want to damage the pocket with the bottom of the markers ,you can put a piece of wraped fabric below to smouth the contact 😉
Bises and nice afternoon 😘😉
That’s a good idea! Thanks. 😊
Excited for new travel art videos with this art box !
Thanks! Me too! 😊
What a lovely box! You can see how much thought went into making it. Lots of storage places to keep your art supplies and the wood looks fantastic. It's way out of my budget now but I totally unerstand the price.
I hear you! It’s not in my budget either, but I finally decided that as a plein air artist it was okay to treat myself. I love how well thought out it is too. 😊
Box of magic 🪄
I ordered mine yesterday for my birthday, tomorrow! Can’t wait to get it!!
Wow, the ease and convenience! This travel box is beautifully crafted. Thank you for sharing!!!
Your welcome! Yes, I LOVE the ease of the setup and that it’s small enough not to be too heavy for my bad back! It’s clearly created by an artist for artists. 😊
This was so soothing and fun to watch you prep your pochade box!! Can't wait to see what you create with it!
Thanks so much! I’m really excited to use it too. I’ll bring you all along when I do. 👩🏻🎨
Looks like fun. You’ve thought of everything! Thank you.
I’ll have to do another tour in a year or so to show what I will inevitably change over time. 😊
That was fun! Now I know what oils to use too. Thank you for the tour. I can hardly wait to watch you use your beautiful and practical art box too. ❤
I’m glad you like it! I have an oil painting playlist that might help if you’re interested in oil painting. 😊
Oh wow that’s a gorgeous & unique paintingbox. I love 💕 how tiny it is but so big with the amount of art supplies that it holds. I have never heard or seen anything like this for Pochade boxes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information & item with us. I definitely want to check this out & put it on my wish list this year. 🥰
Dear Leslie, Thank you for the All the nice ideas you showed and explained. I realy learend alot .
You will be using that very nice box I am very sure that you are very happy that you bought it.
Many Greetings wishing you a nice week 😊😊 Großartig ❤
Thanks for watching! I worried a little that it was too long and detailed. I love getting little glimpses of other artists’ thoughts and practices too. 😊
It’s very dreamy- on my wish list. Enjoy it
Dreams can come true! ❤
What a marvellous box, they have really thought the design through so well.
Yes! It was obviously created by a painter.
Thank you so much for this video! Full of great tips. I would have never thought to use a toothpick for Washi tape! Brilliant!
Thanks, Stephanie! I usually wrap it around a small piece of card, but this seemed even smaller. 😊
fabulous video again. thank you. the box is a work of art, love the combo of leather and wood; but, out of my price range . I do see the quality and artistry. Maybe one day. Love how you've added your hints and tips too.
Well this is just the most devine thing I ever did see 😍
That was my first reaction too. 😊
Billiant! Exquisite!!! Wonderful !!!!
I am enthralled with that box and thinking of ways I could use one! I don’t paint tiny, but I am learning to draw and that box would be perfect! I love, compact kits like that.
I love your videos they are so inspiring, I my self I am an artist but from past few years am not getting time but in near future I will surely start painting but this time I want to try my hand on water colour painting and I love all your stationary!!!! This compact box is too amazing!!
I cannot wait to see you using it in your vlogs, and see how it works. Though I wonder so much is needed to paint, but that also depends on if we're finishing the entire painting at the spot.
I usually do finish my little paintings on location. I’ve had all-in-one pochade boxes before but they were larger and heavier and still required finding a way to attach brushes, water/thinner, etc. I’m excited that this one takes me less than a minute to set up and break down. 😊
OMG (off topic) You have a lovely Janosch illustrated box. With the Tiger and the bear ❤❤❤ dancing! He wrote "How beautiful is Panama" -a seminal children's book, classic in 🇩🇪. So nice you upcycled it to keep your paints. His was my very fiest book and I love his illustrations and stories. If you haven't yet, have a look at him and his work. Also, loved the new cokours for your palette!
This seems made for you. What a well designed box. Your voice sounded so happy while deciding how to set it up. I wish you lots of fun in your painting adventures with your portable studio.
I was super happy setting it up. I’ve been planning it for months. 😅 It’s nice to FINALLY have it ready for an adventure!
It does! So fun watching and hearingn Leslie's thought process:)
That is so stunning, It looks so gorgeous ☺☺☺
It really is! ❤
Thank you for sharing your wonderful tools. Your videos are both beautiful and educational. I always learn something new. Best wishes!
Thanks so much! I’ll be sharing more videos where I use this box. I’m really looking forward to it. 😊
I loved this video and wish I painted in oils. I am a watercolour artist and am just discovering gouache. Your detailed demonstration was extremely informative and your hacks are useful. Leslie I wish I had your soothing approach to art, it’s genuinely addictive. I am binge watching your videos now!😅
This box is soo cute! ITS SOOO BRILLIANT
Yes!! 😊
Lovely going on my wish list ❤
I have my own and love it - precious piece of woodwork to assist in my creativity.
Well done video of setting it up with vanity of mediums and explaining it. I am looking forward to seeing you use it and how you end up making it work for you over time.
Thanks! It’s nice to hear that you love yours too. I’m so excited to use mine now that it’s all set up, but of course it’s raining here for the next several days! 😅
Do you have this same box? How much does it weigh. I feel like the solid wood could be heavy to carry around
yes I do - I also carry mine in a backpack with additional materials and tripod. I also Ruck, so this is easy for me. @@GrayWithMe
@@GrayWithMe about 5 lbs, 8 oz empty. I hope this helps!
gorgeous!!
I love this!! I prefer to fabricate my own one off kits, but this gives me so many wonderful ideas!
Yes! That’s terrific. I wish I was handy enough to create beautiful wooden treasures like this, but I’m happy to help support those who do. 😊
@@LeslieStroz you are WONDERFUL about supporting small business artists and I think that's fantastic
That's such a cool box, I've seen some kind of like it that I want, eventually I'm going to decide on one and get it.
It’s good to watch lots of videos to see which you think might fit your style. Getting out and painting will help too. Some boxes I thought I’d love turned out not to suit me. It’s nice that there are so many quality options these days. 😊
That is a fantastic idea. Very well thought out kit
I’ve had my eye on this box too! On my wishlist 😊
I got mine during their Thanksgiving sale; it was too good to pass up after months on my wish list. 🤗
Wow that’s awesome … never seen one before. Peg&Awl really have some innovative products that are beautifully made. Thank you for sharing this video.
Amazing box and i need it😢😢😢❤
Those were my exact thoughts. 😅
How very beautiful perfect perfect thing ❤
Loved it❤❤❤
I must have this!!! Lovely video.
Wow so glad the box is out of my budget. Its so beautiful but filling tubes is not my jam. Lovely.
OMG! It's so nady and easy to carry out. Excellent ❤
Your bulldog clips holding rubber markmarkers: Try using old wiper blades for economy, or a cut piece of icecream box and a metal feeler guage as spatulas. The great thing about feeler guages is the different steel thicknesses have different stiffness. Perfect for dabbing oil paint or spreading on larger areas. I woodturn peg handles with a slit in the end to hold the blade. Then I bind the 1/2 inch where the slit is with waxed whipping twine.
I love this box!!!! But $635 I'm going to need a GO FUND ME for it. 😢 But it is a gorgeous paint box!
Lovely box, the stuff Peg and Awl make are excellent quality. I have the sendak and it's amazing! I looked at this box and although I admire it, I think it's too bulky for me.
I love their stuff too. Yes, I worried it might be too much, but I like that it’s so small. That helps a lot. Compared to a Guerilla box it’s a lot lighter. We’ll see how I like it in practice! 😊
I love my Scout Box!!! Thanks for the tube cap tip. I recently discovered your channel and am loving it.
So beautiful. I wish they would make these using vegan leather - I would get one for sure. This is perfect! I hope you love it ❤
I LOVE this!!!!!
I suggest that you contact the seller about the crack in the paint tube drawer and ask them about it. It could eventually crack across the whole thing and cause the knot to fall out. They may send a replacement or tell you how to fix it.
IDEA: Can the container holding the eraser fit in between the two jars?
I don’t do plein air but I could start just to use this wonderful box
This is so weird!!!! I was just looking at this box on Etsy then I open RUclips and your video was the first one reviewing this box!
Big brother is watching! 😅
Wow its lovely ❤ i love it (is this a hint to more paint vlogs in future??!!!)
Dam its soo practical its the perfect box!!
Wow the technique for filling the paints i would have just made a mess 😅
Can we see more of your oil painting!!!
Damm ur hands are beautiful 😍 i love pretty hands and these are (chef's kiss)
You’re so kind. And yes, there are definitely more painting vlogs coming up! I love the thoroughness of this box and that I can easily adapt it for both oils and watercolour. I have some oil painting shorts up here, but I definitely have been more into watercolour and ink the last few years. This box really makes me ready for oils again though so there will no doubt be some coming up! 😊
@@LeslieStroz yay I am excited 😆
Love you always 💗
Very nice !!!
Loved this video ❤
Thank you. 😊
I have one of these boxes, it's utterly gorgeous & I love it! I had a thought about your knot hole in the draw, you could tape it on the inside & carefully add in some coloured (even sparkly) resin from the underneath of the draw which would be easier to sand/clean up if needed. Enjoy!
Leslie, that kit is truly beautiful. Being a major fan of stationery & art supplies, I found this video tickled my fancy in such a delightful way 😊. I've been watching your content for several months now, and you've helped me to start experimenting with watercolours. I'm really enjoying it! I wonder if I'll get to a point one day when I can justify purchasing something like this... 🤔
Sending you warm wishes, from Brisbane, Australia 🧡
656$…. Need to start saving. I like this gadget
I love this!! I want to have!😔
IT’S $842.58+? Damn Lesli good job I’m a new subscriber but I’m impressed by your art and I’m very happy that you were able to buy this piece ❤
Where do you see that price? My computer is showing $519 for the walnut and $482 for the maple. I got mine on sale last autumn. They are pricey, but they’re super well made and I worked a few big commissions last year to help afford it. I justify it by telling myself it’s an heirloom piece that my ancestors will continue to enjoy years after I’m gone. 😊
@@LeslieStroz I saw it on Etsy but I mean Etsy is expensive so….
Lovely, yes, but I am confused by the pricing... going straight from your link the walnut one is $ 899 CAD??? Nearly a thousand dollars when you add in shipping. It's beautiful but way out of my price range.@@LeslieStroz
Lucky you. I'll never afford that one. Wish I could though. Beautiful.
You never know. I’d have said the same thing not that long ago. I hope you have a set up that works for you. 😊
Omg hi!! Im first again keep up ur work beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
M.Graham is made with honey it doesn't completely dry so they are not a good choice if you paint outside.
I’ll find out! I have M Graham in another open palette and it dries enough not to spill out of the pans, so I’m hopeful this will work. Stay tuned… 😊
Delicieux!
for those who are curious how much it costs it's only Canadian 200.$ :D
just kidding it is 1,212.47 Canadian Dollars 😃
Hi Leslie, I am so happy you made a video featuring this painting box, I also fell in love with it. How did you get them to also include the tempered glass? I want to buy this one for oil painting only. Thanks Maria
I wrote and asked. I’m not sure if they have any left. I got lucky because they had an extra one in their stock. I can say that the corian is soooo lovely! I’m surprised and pleased with it. You can always get tempered glass cut to fit at a glass place near you. 😊
Beautiful, well made, but I would discuss remaking the paint tube drawer.
For the cost, I would definitely expect the small company to repair or replace the bottom panel @ no cost (12:10…)
I've never used a pochade before but wow... what a beautiful thing! have you ended up using it very much?
This was such an interesting video! I learned so much, and am excited to use my water based oils again.
Can you please explain the purpose of clove oil a little further?
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! 😍Loved watching you get it all set up. I think for the price of it, they shouldn't have used that knotty piece of wood for the bottom of the one drawer. I know the hole would bother me, but I am glad it doesn't bother you. Thanks for the video! 🥰
I wasn’t thrilled at first but then I realised that it gives it added character. Plus, I do know how to use wood filler so if I need to I’ll just add a bit. 😊
Love the look of that box! What's the advantage of transferring the paint from those existing tubes into the blank ones? Couldn't you just put the blank ones to one side and fill that draw with tubes that are already full of paint? I get maybe if you want to pre-mix some paints and put them in those tubes but it seems so much effort to go to to otherwise simply move exact paint colours from one tube to another.
Could you share a link to the black plastic clips you used in the video to replace the bulldog clips? Thanks for sharing such a great tour of your Scout Plein Air box.
Now I know what I’m gonna buy myself for my 50th bday in August!! Did you have to contact them separately to order both the oil and watercolor inserts? Also, your toothpick/washi tape tip is priceless! Thanks for sharing this.❤
We have both options on our website. You can choose one set up and then order the single part for the other option. I hope this helps!
Could could try using the travel brushes that have a cover and you put it on the handle to extend it when using.
That’s a great idea! I’ve just ordered my favourite brushes from Rosemary & Co in the short handles and am planning to cut them down (sacrilegious I know!). 😅
Any problems with the honey-based (but divine) M Graham watercolors “traveling” while the box is out and about?
❤❤❤❣
You found your swiss medic bag!
Could be! 😅
Two questions, (1) how do you cover the watercolors to not get everywhere when you are not using and (2) how do you clean the paint out of the wood?
Looks so heavy due to the wood ..and with all of the colors,brushes,and personals things..but its a beauty..
Would you place some plastic wrap on your paints so as not to have them dry up or can you leave them uncovered and then add water to re-moisten?
🥰
Looks beautiful but very heavy. Do you know how much does it weighs empty? Thanks in advance!
Wow, what a gorgeous box! I hope your M.Graham watercolors will dry. They made a mess in my travel palette 😟
Oh no! I did consider that, but decided this was probably the perfect place for them because the box will always be upright and the palette is open yet secure. We’ll see! 😊
$656 USD! Oh dear. So beautiful though.
Exquisitely fiddly and impractical.
Damn $600 i love it but wouldn’t drop that much on it
That’s what I told myself for a year, but then I decided I was worth it. 😅 I think it’s cheaper on their website than on Etsy.
It’s beautiful its just for people who pay that in rent and are lucky enough to have a bit for food its not worth you know, like it’s definitely worth the $600 its real wood it looks well crafted you have gotten a gem XD
Can you use a slightly larger canvas on it?
Yes and no. It will comfortably hold larger panels but I probably wouldn’t do anything larger than an 8x10. I’m planning on doing anything up to 5x7 with this box.
🥰😍🤩😘
I actually thought I could afford this. 😢
Вау❤
OMGosh.. that looks adorable!!! OMG SERIOUSLY, DID YOU PAY 700 DOLLARS FOR THAT?????????????????
Where can I find this box I can't find it anywhere not Amazon anywhere what's the address to order this box
Pleas use oil colour
Omg, sorry, but that knot hole is inexcusable considering the price. You really should contact P & A. Im sure they'd send you out a replacement.
The vocals are so hissy had to mute and use the cc
$650+
🤣💀
