Traditionally stone bags were designed to provide a counterweight for additional stability when working with a tripod. Today, however, the usage of stone bags has been extended to provide a supplementary place for artists to store supplies while working in the field thus making the SoHo Stone Bag an ideal accessory for both plein-air painters and photographers.

Having a stone bag attached to your tripod allows you to store and access additional supplies you may need with ease. From palettes to extra camera lenses this bag is large enough to accommodate most all materials you would bring into the field with you. This bag measures 14” across and has a depth of 7-9.5”.

This 80 color half stick Plein Air collection has… Sennelier Extra Soft Pastel Sets utilize a deep and rich history of color! In 1887, a huge supporter of the arts named Gustave Sennelier opened his artist’s supply store “Maison Sennelier” directly across from the Louvre in Paris, France. Sennelier was a talented chemist by trade, but through his love of art had a sharply honed eye for value and color. His extensive background researching and studying pigment origins led him to create his own personal pigment mixtures to sell directly to his customers (initially he sold his paints through existing manufacturers). His friendships with prominent artists of the day (whether already famous or yet undiscovered) and his fierce loyalty to them and their craft resulted in creating multiple mediums designed specifically for them. At the turn of the 20th century, Gustave dedicated three years of development to create an extra soft pastel for his friend and patron, artist Edgar Degas. His goal was to create a stick with the highest amount of pigment possible, adding only the transparent binder of gum arabic (a watercolor binder) and mineral fines to change the gradients of the colors (increasing amounts as the pastel stick lightens towards white). The use of the gum arabic creates a soft pastel that can also be wetted once on the substrate, and spread like a watercolor. With a total of 525 colors and the largest chromatic range offered in soft pastels, their vibrancy and brightness can attributed to not containing clays, like other brands. Pastel artists everywhere revere Sennelier especially for their mellow and deep dark tones compared to other makers, likely due to their higher pigment concentration with little filler. The cylindrical pastel mold used by Sennelier in the manufacturing process does not compress the pastel paste, instead merely forming the uniform shape (which now features a larger diameter stick than before for added strength, while maintaining the soft nature of the pastel). Sticks are dried naturally in the open air for 4 weeks for a uniform softness throughout the pastel. Using Sennelier Soft Pastels utilizes a deep and rich history of color, backed up by one of the most dedicated craftsman to color in history. Artists who relied on his and his son Gustave’s expertise and experience achieved fame through their artworks, like Paul Gaugin, Modigliani, Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Picasso, Chagall, Salvador Dali, and so many more. Give yourself the treat designed for the pastel master Degas himself, and choose Sennelier for the finest quality soft pastels available! Key Features: * Available in multiple sets for all budgets * Specially selected sets for landscape, portrait, or still life * Originally created by Sennelier for master pastellist Edgar Degas * Renowned for deep and dark colors due to high pigment load * Available in cardboard and wood box sets for travel Perfect For: * Serious Pastel Artists * Application over watercolor or acrylic * Use with textured and sanded pastel papers and boards * Traveling, does not fall under airline restrictions * As gifts for the artist who has everything * Half Sticks Measure 1 1/14” long x 5/8” diameter (unwrapped in a slightly larger, squared shape to prevent breakage) * Standard Sticks measure 2 ½” long x ½” diameter * Half Stick Black Wood Box Sets of 60 & 120 - these Sennelier best selling half stick soft pastels are now available in chic black wood boxes, perfect for gift giving.

Exclusive OP enhanced oil priming As an oil colorist it is important to work on oil primed surfaces and not universal primed surfaces. The reason is that universal primed surfaces are semi-absorbent. Gesso is absorbent even if it is plate smooth. The paint does not get absorbed as much and sits on the surface more making it easy to blend and manipulate. Granted it is not highly absorbent but the fact remains that some oil will get into the primer and flatten the image. You can get around this by using an under-painting oil ground on top of the surface of a universal ground canvas but this is very time consuming and expensive. Unlike universal ground, our oil priming chemically bonds with the oil paint and is non-absorbent allowing the paint to sit up on the surface with the correct refraction quality of the oil binder. If you use any high-quality oil color we urge you to use an oil primed surface and now we make it affordable! Exclusive OP Enhanced Oil Priming! Centurion Deluxe Professional Oil Primed Linen Panels, specifically designed for oil painters. Superb receptive surface accepts even the thinnest oil color lay down without fragmenting on the surface and is a permanent surface as colors adhere better on it than any other oil primed canvas on the market today!

The Beauport Easel is an improved version of the famous Gloucester and Andersen Easels, which were first introduced in the early part of the 20th century. Thanks to its special design, the Beauport allows you to paint large-size canvases outdoors, even in windy conditions. The key is the extra wide foot print of the easel, which spans 65" across and 65" from front to back. We would suggest attaching a sand bag for extra windy conditions, but you can usually fill an empty bag with sand or dirt after you set up the easel, so there's no need to carry a heavy bag into the field with you. You can use it right out of the box! Finally there is an easel sturdy enough to let you paint large on any terrain, even in windy conditions Key Features:* You can use it right out of the box* Weighs just 14lbs!* Made of seasoned hardwood* Holds canvases up to 48" h × 60" wide!* Accommodates canvases as small as 4×6"* Supports a sketch box, palette and roll of paper towels (not included)* Includes carrying bag with extra room to store other gear* Includes carry strap for field use* Folds to 46" × 3.5" × 5" and sets up in less than a minute* Includes a forward tilt, helping reduce glare and allowing for easy pastel painting* Removable wooden pegs to set the canvas height* An additional 18" extender leg allows an even greater variance of leg heights* Money back satisfaction guarantee Perfect For:* Accommodating uneven slopes in the terrain* Wide stance allows use in windy conditions* May be used in conjunction with a Soleil Traverse Umbrella* Wide range of painting angles* Quick leg adjustment to compensate for slope of terrain* An amazing quality easel for the price! The Beauport Easel's unique design allows for a wide range of painting angles. In fact, the angle range even includes a forward tilt, helping reduce glare and allowing for easy pastel painting. The Beauport's height adjustment system uses a unique internal spring mechanism activated with just the pull of a lever. This allows you to set each leg at the ideal height, compensating for the slope of the terrain. Plus, you can easily adjust the height of the easel for sitting or standing, so you can paint with comfort every time. The Beauport Easel features a convenient hooked rod to secure your canvas at the top. Since this rod has minimal exposure to the front of the canvas, you can paint to the top edges more easily then with many other easels. In addition, the Beauport uses removable wooden pegs to set the canvas height, which allows you to paint to the very edges of the canvas. An additional 18" extender leg allows an even greater variance of leg heights, accommodating uneven slopes in the terrain. While you're painting, there is plenty of support up front for a palette and paper towels, plus rear storage of a sketch box filled with supplies. Finally there is an easel sturdy enough to let you paint large on any terrain, even in windy conditions. We're so convinced that you'll love the Beauport Easel, we sell it with a money back satisfaction guarantee! Artist Endorsed! "I just love the Beauport Easel. It's lightweight, very easy to assemble, and it holds a 48x60 canvas with ease. Even in the wind it stands strong. I'm doing my best outdoor work on it. I'll say it again, I love it."- George Gallo, Professional Artist and Producer See More -

Linen is strong and durable, and remains the preferred surface for many artists. Linen is more expensive than cotton and retains its natural oils, which helps to preserve the fiber's flexibility and stops the canvas from becoming brittle. It is also regarded as having a more “natural” weaved finish than cotton. See More -

Years ago, we worked with an excellent Italian company in creating a linen canvas that would make oil painting a real pleasure and produce results that were more brilliant than before possible with commercial products. This linen canvas has a fine weave and texture and is created with one coat of natural glue sealer and four coats of oil priming. The Italian priming method was developed over five centuries. The difference is the reliability of the material and the consistency of the finished product.
