The cup easel is a nice sturdy pochade box

The cup easel pochade box is well made and sturdy. The thing I like about it is that it is simple, so that there is not much that can break. For a watercolor setup, it is nice to have trays for your colors that slot into the box, so that you don’t have to carry paint tubes. You can actually use it as a dual oil painting pochade box and watercolor box at the same time. I’m not sure yet about the paint holders. Over time they are likely to get filled up with paint, and you will either have to buy new ones, or find some way of cleaning them. But overall it’s a nice system. There is a handy extra palette tray that you can buy too that fits on your easel.
