The Cloverleaf Paint Box
The Cloverleaf Paint Box by watercolour artist and tutor Barry Herniman is now available at Jackson’s Art.
A very cleverly designed watercolour box for painting in the field, the Cloverleaf easily unfolds from a small size (of just 12.5 x 12.5 x 4.5cm), to give 4 good-sized mixing areas. The mixing palettes are stable and solidly attached, not at all fiddly. The plastic is lightweight yet robust. Filled with paint it weighs less than 300 grams. The box is supplied empty, to fill with your choice of paints. Please note that the box does not come with any paint.
The paint wells are deep, great for squeezing tube watercolour into. The depth of the wells means you won’t be slopping over when you swirl a wet brush in them. They will fit some makes of full and half pans, but some are a wee bit too large and sit a bit proud, although the box will still close. The paint well area is removable for cleaning.
The Cloverleaf paintbox has deep wells for squeezing in your tube paint. Full and half pans will also fit, some better than others. Notice that the Winsor & Newton full and half pans on the left side fit better into the wells.
Note: paint is not included.
It is very easy to hold. A paint box designed for painting outdoors needs a way to be held in your non-brush hand while working and the Cloverleaf has a simple yet effective feature for this, a flat plate area for your thumb that works if you hold your box in your left or your right hand and if you hold your thumb straight or you crook it.
The Cloverleaf paintbox opens up to provide 4 stable mixing areas.
Note: paint is not included.
