The palette has three different
positions it can be attached to the box for hands-free painting

*pochade
( poh-SHAHD)
- A small color sketch, usually in oil paint. A pochade
is often a rough little landscape, typically produced away from the studio, with the intention of referring to it later in the studio in order to paint a larger, more developed version. A pochade box is a sketch box, a very portable container for carrying oil-painting supplies on field trips.
