A paintbox
is a piece of studio equipment that you will come to appreciate as
being one of the most important items in your studio. Not only does
it contain your brushes, palette, and paints, but it is also in a
way the instrument from which you apply all your knowledge. It is
the anvil from which a painting is wrought. A sturdy box which is
in my preference a bit deeper will function very well. Boxes come
in 3", 3 1/2", and 4" in depth. The 4" box will
allow for bottles of medium and a palette, plus room in the top of
the box for shelves or panels.
Handmade
Cloverwood box comes with 9 epoxied plexiglass shelves nested in the
box lid. Included is 3/8" glass palette, brass hatch closures
and brass hinges. Sanded wood finish has 6 coats Polyurethane and
neutral grey enamel backs the palette and lid.
