I bought a bigger pochade box from https://www.creativehands.in/ to produce bigger 8X10 inch paintings. I got the idea from Stefan Baumann's 1920 box. I got the idea from Stefan Baumann's 1920 box. Design of this old box was very thoughtfully executed. Three panels (no standardization for size at that time), palette, paints, oil etc and brushes. The previous artist who owned it put cardboard separations for tubes. This is very similar to what the Hudson River School artists and most of the other olden day painters used. They sat on a tripod stool and painted straightaway. No business with tripod and other stuff (observe Albert Bierstadt surrounded by American Indians). I looked over the internet and found only this box from Indian artists product manufacturer Brustro. It is intended by the manufacturer to be a mere pallet and color carrier box (not sure why) but its perfect size, weight and good looks are well suited to those old designs.

The colors that I used are Titanium White, Chrome Yellow Hue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue and Ivory Black. Other colors are Phthalo Green; Sap Green; Lemon Yellow and others.
